Forum:Did Colin play Davros?

Davros is credited by Colin Baker, currently under the variable in Davros' infobox. I assume that's not a live-action role, "main" or "other"? Which story did he do that anyway? -- Tybort (talk page) 20:14, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I had a real struggle with allowing that. In the end I got tired of thinking and just pushed "publish".  I'm not sure that one-off audio performances are really infobox-worthy.  I mean, fine, Caitlin Blackwood has a legitimate claim to Amy Pond — and I think even one-episode actors who are portraying a character at a different time of life do — but this Colin thing is like a body swap.  Kinda like the Daniel Anthony-as-Eleven deal in Death of the Doctor.  Is that really important enough to count?  I think it's noteworty in the article about Daniel Anthony or even Colin Baker.  But if it's gonna be in the infobox on Davros, maybe it needs a new variable like  or something like that.


 * The fact that you, a fan with a reasonable knowledge of DW trivia, were stumped means that the infobox isn't really working as it is. It's okay for an infobox to provide information that is not immediately apparent — people have different levels of knowledge about the DWU.  But this is almost a case of true trivia entering the infobox.  Any ideas about how to make it work better, please let me know.


 * Moving this over to the Panopticon cause it's really a more generalised line of enquiry. 21:15: Mon 26 Mar 2012


 * Yeah, even so, my knowledge is mostly limited to the revival series plus "common knowledge" from the classic series. I think I've listened to about four Big Finish audios in total (plus the two Big Finish-produced webcasts).


 * Also, I thought that "other actor" was what small, obscure roles was FOR. Granted, there isn't actually a voice equivalent. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:25, March 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I gather you disapprove of Cassandra-style bodyswaps in that variable too, then? -- Tybort (talk page) 21:27, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
