Talk:Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Why don't you have the date this episode was originally aired? Do you leave that out on all the episodes? it seems too important to leave out.

Also, was the title a play on words of the band named Echo and the Bunnymen?



I just acquired the DVD of this story, and it lists the Story Number as 150, not 147. I do notice that the numbering on this page matches the list of serials on Wikipedia. Is the DVD or the article incorrect? Is there an article here that lists the serial numbers in a list? My search skills must be weak today. BrainySpecs 18:54, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Recognisable faces[[edit source]]

The final paragraph of the intro mentions recognisable faces who appeared in the story and ends "...perhaps most notably, Ken Dodd."

I mean no disrespect to Ken Dodd but I'd reckon Stubby Kaye was rather more notable, as well as having substantially more screen time in this story. --89.241.67.221talk to me 02:25, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Doddy is far more notable than Stubby Kaye. Firstly, he is and was far more well known in the UK than Kaye. Secondly, there were articles in many newspapers at the time referencing Doddy's role in Doctor Who. Surely that is the definition of "notable".165.225.80.75talk to me 11:43, November 15, 2018 (UTC)

McCoy was not "forgetting" anything[[edit source]]

Mister McCoy is wearing glasses while riding the motorbike for the simple reason that a woman -- and more importantly a six-month-old baby girl -- is in the side-car. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 180.150.38.26 (talk).

But as noted on the page, he doesn't have the glasses in close-ups in the same scene. I truly don't think the glasses are meant to "really" be there. That is, McCoy the fallible human being may have needed glasses, but diegetically the Seventh Doctor has 20/20 vision and wouldn't need them. --Scrooge MacDuck 16:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
