:The quote in the article wasn't presented as speculation: "The Zygons are in there with all the others - particularly the Daleks and the Cybermen,". He is involved in the episode insomuch as that the BBC had to seek permission from him to use the Zygons as stated in the article. Therefore he has to have been made aware of some of the episode detail. ~~ [[User:Peteb16|Peteb16]] ([[User talk:Peteb16|talk]]) 21:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC) |

===John Hurt's Role=== |
|||
John Hurt revealed to the website EDP24 that he is playing a "part of the Doctor" in a trinity including Matt Smith and David Tennant. This seems to synch up with rumors leaked several weeks ago that the twist in the anniversary is that he will be a "forgotten Doctor" set between the official eighth and ninth incarnations |

Two infoboxes
If there's "no need for two inboxes", then why does the article on the 1996 Doctor Who film have two infoboxes? Rhain1999 (talk) 00:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- There shouldn't be. It did not used to be there. Why are you asking here? — Edokter (talk) — 00:29, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Because I couldn't think of where else to ask it? And, as you would know, this article had two infoboxes and one was removed, so I was wondering why this wasn't allowed it and that was. (however, that's been resolved now) Rhain1999 (talk) 00:39, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Billie as Rose
Can someone confirm if DWM provides a source for Billie Piper playing Rose, as no web-based sources currently do so. If it does, can the citation be changed to DWM accordingly. U-Mos (talk) 17:16, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Rose as companion
Also, if Piper is appearing as Rose (see above), is there a source that confirms that she is going to be a companion? She wasn't a companion in The End of Time. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 23:34, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, as long as we can source her appearance as Rose (still not sure about that one...) I think it might be OK to have her in the infobox as a companion. She has been announced as starring in the episode, so more than a cameo, and of course plenty of references are calling the character a companion (and a companion of the Tenth Doctor), so it seems the sensible place to list her unless later information suggests otherwise. U-Mos (talk) 10:17, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Images
I believe we have a problem with the images. They're both copyright and have no rationale for inclusion in this article. I would add one, however I don't believe that, in this case, they conform to WP:NFC. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 12:36, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Tenth Doctor
Since it is likely that Tennant will be playing the Doctor clone and not the actual Tenth Doctor, should a distinction be made regarding this since it is a different character? From what I've seen, sources have not confirmed which one he will be portraying. Ωphois 22:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- Why is it "likely"? And no, a distinction should not be made because there is absolutely no evidence so far that he'll be playing the clone. If anything, it's unlikely that he's not portraying the actual Tenth Doctor. TR-BT (talk) 23:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- It makes much more sense storywise that he will be portraying the clone, and that is what everyone expects. I am not suggesting that we put in the article that he will be playing the clone. My point is that until it is confirmed, it is just as much speculation to say that he will be portraying the Tenth Doctor. Ωphois 23:24, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but it doesn't make more sense storywise since none of us knows what the story is. The default position is that he'll return for the role that he's known for. Please provide a reliable source that shows otherwise. DonQuixote (talk) 23:38, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- At the moment it's fine because the part that says Tennant is playing the Tenth Doctor is properly sourced and the source states "this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor." ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 23:43, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Not really sure how to use this. Apologies if I'm doing it wrong. Anyway, everything so far seems to indicate it will be the real 10th Doctor. He's been seen filming with his TARDIS and the clone did not have a TARDIS (a deleted scene from Journeys End suggested he would but it was deleted) and he's been filming in his brown suit. The clone only had the blue suit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by I am the real slim shady (talk • contribs) 17:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Cast list
Is the "Cast" section really necessary, since it is all covered in the infobox and the "casting" section? Glimmer721 talk 00:20, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Glad you asked! I didn't think so as its inclusion would be inconsistent with other Doctor Who episode articles, so I removed it. It was then reverted on the basis that this is a film and, as such, should feature a full cast list as a section. Even though it could be argued that Doctor Who (film) doesn't have a separate cast list either, I waited to see if keeping the list turned out to be general consensus. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 08:59, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- I've removed it again, it definitely should not be in there. See Doctor Who (1996 film) if really desperate for a precedent... U-Mos (talk) 22:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- And for that matter, The Five Doctors. Glimmer721 talk 23:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Duration
I'm trying to figure out what our source is for the alleged "feature film length" that is discussed in the lead. The information doesn't seem to come from the inline citation used at the end of the sentence that mentions this information and I can find no sources that provide that information at the moment. Do we know where this came from? I was going to just fact tag it but I always feel weird fact tagging something that is in the lead but not the body of an article (since that's not supposed to happen). Likwise, tagging a small part of a sentence that does have a ref attached to it (but where said ref doesn't actually clear up the fact I want to tag) always seems visually odd to any editors trying to work on the article. So yeah, anyone know the source of the length or can I remove it/tag it? Millahnna (talk) 05:47, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Coal Hill School and the Junkyard
New filming pics were released here. There isn't a location, so I didn't know if it was worth mentioning in "Filming" or "Plot" (I'm starting to feel that the continuity can be incorporated in the writing section like Remembrance of the Daleks, since this is an anniversary special). Glimmer721 talk 18:54, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Daleks and Cybermen ARE NOT confirmed.
The link stating that the Daleks and Cybermen would return is based on speculation. The article in question is a short interview with the creator of the Zygons, who has no involvement with the 50th whatsoever. His claim that other monsters will appear is pure speculation! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.179.138.207 (talk) 21:08, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
