Is this article really a stub? It has 2 nav boxes, reasonably complete plot and synopsis sections, a picture and external links. Wendell 03:34, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
- No, you're right. It's probably one of those lost in the shuffle when expanded but somehow managed to avoid having the stub tag removed. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 04:07, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Episode 1 and 2 Rumoured existance in uk?
Aswell as the information about The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, i put the Power of the daleks possible existance information in aswell. here's a link to where i found this information. http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Lot/8256/landf.htm#sec.5 It also has information about other episodes that are rumoured to exist Like The Tenth Planet and The Ice Warriors episode 3.

- This is not any more substantial than rumours of the secret cabal that meets to watch lost Doctor Who episodes, not to mention that the article hasn't been updated since 2004, it seems, and that the rumour here is debunked. There is no mention of The Massacre. --22:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Regeneration?
The article states:
- The concept of regeneration is not named in this serial. It was attributed after the fact by fans of the series and subsequently by the production team of The Five Doctors.
But surely regeneration is mentioned by name much earlier? In Castrovalva, for one? David 15:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- There's an awful of "facts set in stone" about the series that don't actually get established until quite late on, usually long after fandom has taken them for granted. The word "Regeneration" is not used at this time - instead it's called "renewal" - and for a time there were fans who speculated that the Hartnell-Troughton change was different. I think an early 1980s DWM still suggested this.
- Hard confirmation that a regeneration took place doesn't come for nearly twenty years - The War Games just mentiones "Your appearance has changed before..." and The Three Doctors equally doesn't commit itself explicitly. The Brain of Morbius does suggest that Troughton and Hartnell were separate regenerations, but that's hardly the best story to anchor any discussion on the Doctor's lives. Later stories may use the term "Regeneration" but it's not until Mawdryn Undead that the Davison Doctor explicitly states that he has regenerated four times and has eight remaining. In The Five Doctors an exchange between the Hurndall and Davison Doctors establishes that Davison is the product of the "fourth" regeneration, Hurndall is "the original" (well standing in for Hartnell) and other dialogue further explicitly establishes the numbering for Troughton and Pertwee.
