[edit] Episode running times

My apologies if this seems a nitpick to most Dr Who/wiki members. I just thought that if someone was new to Dr Who and had come to wikipedia to find out more about this story that this fact was worth mentioning. When I first saw this story in the 1980's I thought that I must be seeing a heavily edited version since it was so much shorter that any other five parters (few as they were). Also apologies for not making the entry under my user name (I don't know how I got bumped out) but here it is for any who might want to comment.User:MarnetteD | Talk 23:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


All of the fictional characters used were public domain i assume?

Yes. Well, the fictional ones that came from actual literature and legend, anyway. --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 13:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuity

At one point during this episode, the doctor meets an englishman who first speaks to him in latin and all sorts of other languages, and the doctor asks him if he speaks english. This contradicts later claims that the TARDIS translates everything. Of course, an explanation for that might be that they were outside reality itself. Anyway, might be worth mentioning in the "continuity" section. --Mithcoriel (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gorgon

"removed reference as it has nothing to do with the SJS episode...".

Really? I was pointing out that The Doctor doesn't know everything, which he sometimes thinks he does. The Gorgons were/are real, yet The Doctor doesn't know/believe this. Why can that not be pointed out? [User: Stripey]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.5.231 (talk) 09:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a TV show not reality. The creators of the SJS episode were not referencing this story at all. Your posts would go well on a blog or a fan page, but not an encyclopedia.MarnetteD | Talk 14:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
