Things in Who that you need an answer to...

[Dirk Gently]

That makes perfect sense...I think.

Afterwards, the Time Lords probably moved the Solar System back to its original location in space, where it was "rediscovered". The destruction caused by the planetary move was still being explained away as the result of a "fireball", or "solar flares", when Earth was reclaimed by the passengers of the space ark Terra Nova, and human colonists from other planets (4C-4B).

There is no evidence to suggest that the "solar flares" caused by the magnatron had any connection with those that caused the evacuation to Nerva ark though. Quite the contrary I would have thought.

The problem with using the Universal Databank as a source of information is that it's bollocks.

Si.

[Nathan]

I would insist on nothing less than primary sources only.

[Pip Madeley]

Robert Holmes is dead, so we're all doomed.

[Nathan]

Well I was meaning what was on screen, rather than asking Bob.

As opposed to what Jean Marc and his Randy wife tried to fit together from several unrelated stories.

[Pip Madeley]

Jean Marc and his Randy wife

Was she?

[Jason Thompson]

Is it? I think the Doctor says "millions of miles" (might even be billions, can't remember now) once and that's it. I don't think there's all that much made of it is there?

From episode 3:

PERI: What we don't know is the name of this planet.

GLITZ: You mean he hasn't told you? A man of your learning, Doctor? Tut tut. This is Earth, of course.

PERI: I said so, didn't I?

DOCTOR: But it is in the wrong position.

GLITZ: Only by a couple of light years.

From episode 4:

DOCTOR: There are still one or two questions that have to be answered, like who moved this planet two light years off it's original course and what was in that box that Glitz and Dibber were so interested in.

From episode 13:

DOCTOR: What about the box?

INQUISITOR: The box?

DOCTOR: And the fact that Earth was two light years from its original position?

Further clarification regarding distances in space: one light year is nearly six million million miles. The nearest star is 4 light years away. The nearest galaxy is over 2 million light years away, over 12 billion billion miles.

'Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how incredibly, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way to the post office, but that's just peanuts to space. Listen....'

Agreed. Nerva had 30th century technology and, according to the Doctor, 30th century humans aboard.

[Andrew Curnow]

From episode 3, etc.

Fair point. Well, points. In my defence, I did say I hadn't seen it in a while...

[Larry]

in Earthshock, what were those two Cybermen on guard duty talking about.

[Jonno]

They were holding a sweepstake on which of the Doctor's companions was going to perish.

[Stuart Wallis]

Oh, surely they're talking about last night's Corrie?

[SiHart]

OK, here's a bit of a conundrum. Do the Master's and the Doctor's adventures together take place in the same order? Is there any reason why Planet of Fire could not be the final adventure of the Ainley Master? Your theories please...

[Pip Madeley]

The question is, can the Master hear the sound of drums in 'Terror Of The Autons', 'The Sea Devils', 'The Keeper Of Traken', 'Time-Flight' and 'Survival'?

He recognises Peri and mentions the events of Planet of Fire in Mark of the Rani.

[SiHart]

Ahh. Damn, I'd forgotten about that. Well, ok, then there is a good reason why!

[Larry]

why when the TARDIS is so big did Teagan and Nyssa share a bedroom.

[Pip Madeley]

why when the TARDIS is so big did Teagan and Nyssa share a bedroom.

The Doctor had to jettison 25% of the TARDIS' internal architecture... so I guess he jettisoned one of their rooms? Maybe they just liked having sleepovers, doing each others hair, eating cookie dough and watching Dirty Dancing on the Time-Space Visualiser.

[SiHart]

I think Nyssa and Tegan liked to share everything. Lets face it sharing with Tegan is better than sharing with Adric.

I like to think it was sexual. But I'm like that...although the truth is probably boring & has to do with cost of an extra set.

[Larry]

well if it was Torchwood, they'd definitely be bonking each other..

[DrWho2150]

If one was pressed to-and possessed the imagination and tolerance to- how could the Peter Cushing films be placed into TV series continuity?


Thoughts anyone?

[Dave Tudor]

I think we might get snow before too long.

You could make it part of a parellel universe like in Inferno, or the newer Cybermen stories from the end of Season 2 of the new series.... That would be the best way I would think.
