Talk:Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet? (fan work)
Continuity[[edit source]]
Since this story is not considered on, e continuity section has been moved here. The following was moved.
- It is generally held that non-BBC productions featuring concepts from the Whoniverse fall into an uncertain area when it comes to canonicity. This includes previous BBV productions featuring established characters such as the Autons. Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet? is all but impossible to connect to mainstream continuity due to the fact it is clearly a spoof and includes fourth wall-breaking metareferences.
- The end of the story features someone vaguely resembling the Master, a regeneration which references TV: Time and the Rani and a speech at the end which references TV: Survival.
- The Licensor's campness seems a direct reference to the Master in TV: Doctor Who.
- Sontarans first appeared in TV: The Time Warrior.
- Sontarans also have appeared in spinoffs such as HOMEVID: Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans and HOMEVID: Mindgame.
- The Krynoid first appeared in TV: The Seeds of Doom.
- Janis thorns (upon which 'janis spoons' is based) first appeared in TV: The Face of Evil.
- Autons first appeared in TV: Spearhead from Space.
- Autons also appeared in HOMEVID: Auton, Auton 2: Sentinel and Auton 3.
- Rassilon resembles Rassilon from TV: The Five Doctors.

- These are all reasonable notes, no matter what they're called, they need to be in the article. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:14, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
- As I said on talk:Devious is a non DWU universe story so it cannot have continuity. See talk:P.S. (webcast) for another example, as demonstrated by User:CzechOut. MM/Want to talk? 19:17, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
- And I've told you that that's stupid reasoning. You can't go around claiming that we don't have canon and then go "but some stories don't have canon!" If this info dosent go under a "continuity" section then it should at least go under references. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:56, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
Name of story[[edit source]]
I recently removed a rename tag on this story (although did move to add a dab). The story when it was originally released had the Commonwealth spelling of "licence". The DVD used the North American spelling of "license". As it was first released as this I've maintained this, but added a note to the story notes section and also restored the VHS cover so provide proof of its original cover.
It'd be curious to see if the title sequence was changed in-line with the cover on the DVD release. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:47, September 26, 2017 (UTC)
