US English or UK English?

Which dialect should this be in? I'd hope UK for it being a UK based series and all. "backyard"? really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.61.28.141 (talk) 15:21, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's in British English, with series instead of seasons, programme and a section called Characterisation. Why, is there something not right? Edgepedia (talk) 15:43, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, is "backyard" not a UK term? What is the British equivalent, if that is the case? --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Inspector General ‖ 17:27, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My dictionary has "'back yard': a yard at the back of a house". Back garden would be slightly better, but it's understood. (My dictionary also says yard is US and Canadian word for garden, and from MOS:COMMONALITY "Universally used terms are often preferable to less widely distributed terms". Edgepedia (talk) 17:51, 16 April 2013 (UTC) edited 19:02[reply]

I'm British and we say both Garden and Yard. Seems a bit pointless for someone to argue over such a simple word. I mean color - colour sure that would need changing but yard and garden are both used by us. Mishka Shaw (talk) 23:44, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amy pond is a very the only one of the doctors companions that brings her husband with her... and has a kid — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.66.153.16 (talk) 23:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC) Amy pond was the first companion to (in new who) to have a husband and a child with her. Amy pond was also the first companion with the 11th doctor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.66.153.16 (talk) 23:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is her last name still Pond after marriage?

She is not a feminist; is she? She should have taken her husband's name; no?
