placement[[edit source]]

I haven't heard this, so I just want to ask about the placement. Is it before or after The Stolen Earth? It looks like before, as they haven't met Martha since the funeral. Jack's the man - 10:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

pretty clearly before The Stolen Earth. pre-broadcast interviews (sorry, I don't remember anything more specific) indicated as much. the opening of the Large Hadron Collider took longer than they expected, so the story aired on BBC Radio after, not before The Stolen Earth. --Stardizzy2 16:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
There's several references in dialogue indicating this takes place soon after the deaths of Owen and Tosh, so that places it before The Stolen Earth.

Julia's voice actor[[edit source]]

Is that correct that the actor who played Julia in Smith and Jones also provided her voice? I thought that wasn't the case. 23skidoo 20:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

where did you find out otherwise? --Stardizzy2 21:11, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Production error removal[[edit source]]

When I encountered it, the article had the following "production error"

  • The story is intended to coincide with the real-life activation of the collider. However it has been established that "current" Torchwood storylines take place a year ahead of real time, so this story takes place in 2009 - a year after the real-life activation of the collider.

That's not a production error. If it's an error at all, it's a narrative error. A production error is quite strictly a flaw in the recording of the CD, the manufacture of the cover, the pressing of the CD, a scripted sound effect which didn't happen, that sort of thing. The above is an error of narrative, and possibly isn't even that. There's no guarantee that in the Doctor Who universe the hadron collider actually did get activated in 2008. This is the establishment of a difference between the real world and the DWU, not an "error". It was scripted, so therefore it's the intent of the producers. Production intent isn't an error. This factoid could be re-purposed for later inclusion in the behind-the-scenes section, though — with a bit of a re-write. CzechOut | 21:01, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
