TENTH DOCTOR AND DONNA NOBLE[[edit source]]

Since in the Girl Who Died, the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble appear in flashback can we put it in the category tenth doctor television stories? --5.71.219.12talk to me 11:45, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

No. A flashback is only a flashback. It doesn't make it a Tenth Doctor television story, nor a Donna Noble appearance. --DCLM ☎ 12:05, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Then, why is it counted as an appearence on Tenth Doctor - list of appearances? --5.71.219.12talk to me 12:10, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

It shouldn't be. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 17:36, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Could the presence of Tennant and Tate at the very least be acknowledge in the casting sect with a "archival footage" note? (I am somewhat new here, so don't crucify me for not knowing a policy or be aware of another similar discussion elsewhere)TzarBorisII ☎ 03:11, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

We don't do "archival footage" notes, I'm afraid. And Tennant and Tate weren't present, as the actors didn't show up themselves but were merely a flashback. We don't add Capaldi's former character Caecilius as appearing either, as he too was just a flashback. --DCLM ☎ 12:00, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
If you say so, it must be true... Then again, on the page of certain episodes, (e.g.:The 50th anniversary special) the name of the actors who played the doctor are mentioned even if their presence were by use of archival footage...TzarBorisII ☎ 04:24, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I forgot to add the exception:
The one exception for this rule is if the archive footage is used in a way to make it look like the characters are actually there, such as in "The Day of the Doctor". Sorry for any confusion. --DCLM ☎ 12:55, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
Sorry about that DCLM, the way that these email notifications work is that I'm sent to not sent to the latest version when I check out the changes to the page, so I keep accidentally editing an older version. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:23, October 25, 2015 (UTC)
No worries. --DCLM ☎ 10:41, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

Clarke's Law[[edit source]]

Which line/scene in the episode mentioned Clarke's Law? -- Tybort (talk page) 22:01, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

The scene where The Doctor plans to trick the others into thinking that his yo-yo is magic. I don't think he says the name, but others listed at Clarke's Law also are references no made by name. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:05, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

Synopsis removed[[edit source]]

I've removed the synopsis for this episode because it was copied from the BBC website with just a few changes made in the wording. Per Tardis:Plagiarism, we require original content on this site. A synopsis only needs about three sentences describing the basic idea of the episode. Shambala108 ☎ 01:32, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

Monty Python[[edit source]]

The appearance of the false Odin in the clouds strongly evokes the appearance of God in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Is there any evidence that it was a deliberate reference? -GrantHarding ☎ 15:11, February 25, 2017 (UTC)
