Talk:The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Uncredited cast[[edit source]]

I've moved the uncredited cast to the talk page until they can be properly sourced (no IMDB). Shambala108 01:03, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

D'Arcy / Darcy[[edit source]]

Edit summary by user User:OverAnalyser states claims that "D'Arcy", not "Darcy", per the closing credits of ep 7" and on the Darcy Tranton summary "added image to infobox; D'Arcy, not Darcy, per closing credits". Episode 7 does not exist as telesnaps nor in archive, a handful of images do exist of the episode, none of these show the credits (see images here). --Tangerineduel / talk 10:57, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Fourth Wall Breaks[[edit source]]

In the trivia section, it states:

"It is the only case in which the characters explicitly display knowledge of being on television (all other cases involve the characters seeming to talk to or perform for the camera, but nothing that cannot be explained by a character or mirror being in the position the camera is occupying)."

However, the Doctor is seen addressing the audience in Heaven Sent when he says "I'm nothing without an audience." This can not be explained as the scene taking place from Clara's point of view as the shot begins with him walking away from her, saying that line and then looking at the camera.

Nah, that's also a fourth-wall-leaning as opposed to fourth-wall-breaking, I think. He could just be talking to himself while not looking at anything in particular. --Scrooge MacDuck 22:41, July 19, 2019 (UTC)
To be fair, there are a lot of invalid stories that have very similar instances of fourth wall breaks. Really, that quote should be rectified.
And ideally, the matter of fourth wall breaks needs to be discussed sometime in the future when the forums return, as the Wiki is extremely inconsistent on how they're handled. 12:07, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
