Doctor-lite

I've added that this is the Doctor-lite episode - it was already mentioned on the Midnight article. Digifiend (talk) 14:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source? What is Doctor lite?--Cameron (T|C) 14:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An episode without the Doctor. 82.17.105.0 (talk) 21:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see it was removed by Edokter, then re-added later. It wasn't speculation, as he claimed, as DWM was already out. Fact is, if I needed a source, it shouldn't have been on the Midnight page either. In any case, Doctor Who Magazine has now been cited. Digifiend (talk) 09:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does DWM use the term "Doctor-lite"? I'm sure the term, originally referring to Love and Monsters, came from an official source. 86.136.156.205 (talk) 18:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know, but SFX does. I see the phrase Doctor-lite has been removed from both the Midnight and Turn Left articles. Digifiend (talk) 09:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steven Moffat uses the term "Doctor-lite" in an interview in next week's Radio Times - it's page 11, second column. 86.136.156.205 (talk) 16:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The new boss - it doesn't get any more official than that. Thus the rewording wasn't actually required, but never mind, it's fine as it is. You've done a lot of articles 86.136, you really should register. Digifiend (talk) 09:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Turn Left

This article reads: The episode, filmed at the same time as "Turn Left", is "Doctor-lite", while "Midnight" is "Donna-lite".[2] And is copied straight from the "Midnight" page. I assume that it should read something more like This episode, "Turn Left", is "Doctor-lite" and was filmed at the same time as "Midnight" which is "Donna-lite" Unfortunately I can't edit the page as it is protected. 90.198.154.95 (talk) 14:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add it for you.:) JordanAshley (talk) 09:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that 90.216.50.233 (talk) 10:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UNIT?

This page has been added to the UNIT Stories template, and the template has been added to this page. Is there any evidence that this is a UNIT story? U-Mos (talk) 13:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Doctor Who Magazine's preview for the episode shows a woman in UNIT uniform standing in front of the TARDIS. --OZ OO (Whaddya think, sirs?) 13:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well that told me. Should this not be mentioned in the article then? U-Mos (talk) 13:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's in. --OZ OO (Whaddya think, sirs?) 13:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If only every issue was solved in ten minutes... U-Mos (talk) 14:06, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Martha Jones

Is is safe to assume that her character will be returning in this episode? According to this, she "will appear in five episodes of Series Four". As she has only appeared in 2 so far, and this is the third from last episode, it is logical that she will reappear here. Gammondog (talk) 15:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, she's not in this one. She's appeared in three this year. ╟─TreasuryTag (talk ╬ contribs)─╢ 15:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry, you're right. My mistake. :D Gammondog (talk) 14:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Martha is killed when the Judoon hijack the Hospital where she works, although she is not shown in the episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.26.196.62 (talk) 18:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As are the cast of the Sara Jane Adventures.

Full synopsis

I gave up my enjoyment of the episode to add facts as I saw them in the episode, but I think I missed a few points...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 18:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone removed the episode refs, aren't we allowed to cite the episode itself in the plot synopsis? It seems like the most reliable source to me...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 18:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Three parter?

The articles for The Stolen Earth and Journey's End show the episodes as a two parter (202a and 202b), as this episode continues into The Stolen Earth shouldn't Turn Left be 201a and the following episodes 201b and 201c? ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 18:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does the episode end with "To Be Continued"? (I haven't seen it yet). Also, don't the numbers refer to the production codes as listed here? --SoWhy ^Talk 18:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can't remember if it did say TBC, however the end of episode would most definately fall into the category 'Cliffhanger' and watching the following episode without seeing this one would not be wise. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 18:52, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It does not end with "To Be Continued", so unlike Utopia to LotTL, it is NOT a three-parter. It is a 2 parter like Bad Wolf - PotW and AoG-Doomsday. 82.12.88.229 (talk) 18:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whether it is or is not viewer discretion, pending confirmation of either in DWC. Sceptre ^(talk) 18:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Just like the last time'

As much the holocaust suggestion is much more reasonable, Cribbins was in Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD, which involved having human (robotized) slaves working for them. In concentration camps, maybe? :o 80.176.145.76 (talk) 18:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds plausible, could very well be (as a history student, WW2 jumped to my mind first...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 18:52, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cribbins character never witness the spin-off film's plot. Pathfinder2006 (talk) 18:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only on-screen, he didn't. Didn't the actual witnesses have mouths? :p 80.176.145.76 (talk) 19:00, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But he wasn't alive in 2150 - it doesn't sound so plausible now...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 19:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Touche. He could've hitched a ride on the tardis..? (arguement falling down around me :p) 80.176.145.76 (talk) 19:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Wolf

This statement is currently included in the continuity section.

This episode marks the return of the term "Bad Wolf" which was used throughout the first series in 2005, although while Rose Tyler 'was' Bad Wolf in the first series, in this episode, The Doctor says that the term signifies the end of the universe.

As far as I understood it, the phrase 'Bad Wolf' simply was an afirmation to the Doctor that the information about the end of the universe was genuine. The Doctor new Rose had given it because no one else other than Rose would've used that term. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 19:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought too...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 19:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
