Miracle Day Timeline
I think the cellphone said March only because that was the real-world date when the message was sent during filming, not that the Miracle is intended to have happened in March. It makes far more sense for it to have happened in the summer before "Let's Kill Hitler". -- Noneofyourbusiness 21:14, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * However, we have no evidence to contradict the date. As it stands, the March 14-22 dates are correct. d ● ● ●  21:20, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks to User:Hammard, we now have contradictory evidence from Rex's cellphone. The date given on it is 2011.09.09, meaning September 9, 2011, the date that "The Blood Line" was aired. Since the episodes were filmed in the beginning of the year, the September date can only be there as a result of deliberate continuity, whereas the March is the filming date. See this picture: 13:30, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * How is this contradictory? The series still can start in late March / early April. The "two months later" goes to June, and perhaps a CIA investigation prevents a funeral for Esther until September. We can't just ignore one on-screen date in favor of another on-screen date. d ● ● ●  16:01, September 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Er, can someone who knows these things tell me if Rex's cellphone would be giving the date Rex accessed Noah's files or the date Noah's trace was used to find Charlotte's cellphone, since I'm not 100% clear on that? -- Noneofyourbusiness 14:09, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, more evidence for the March dates, when Andy talks to Gwen about her father, he had his first (mild) heart attack on Saturday, then a severe one on Sunday. March 20, 2011 being a Sunday (and being two days before the March 22 date on Rex's cellphone) adds a large amount of credence to the March dates over the September dates. (In particular, consider just how hot the Los Angeles area would be in the thick of summer if the series took place in June/July from the get-go.) d ● ● ●  19:33, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, early on, Oprah wants Oswald Danes on her show. However, her show ended in May 2011. Therefore, Miracle Day must have been before May. d ● ● ●  20:15, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only in our universe. For all we know, Oprah could have decided to retire at a different point in the Doctor Who universe. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:04, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, though at this point there is certainly more evidence to suggest March over September. A single instance does not outdo a half dozen others. <font color=#609000>d <font color=#609000>● <font color=#FF6090>● <font color=#6090FF>●  21:16, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Brigadier's wife died in July 2011, so the miracle must have started after that or ended before.

Let's Kill Hitler
Re: "waiting all summer", I'm not sure if the dates of Let's Kill Hitler would be the beginning of the autumn or not. What time would the crops that Amy wrote that message in start to decay? -- Tybort (talk page) 19:20, September 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * You mean the message decaying? The Doctor got the paper from the next day. If you mean the crops themselves decaying, I'm sure that's not an issue. P.S. Sorry, I thought "Fall" was the British term and "Autumn" the American. Hard to keep straight. -- Noneofyourbusiness 02:02, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Miracle Day Setting
Why does it say that the Miracle started in July when Rendition was set on 22nd March? --MrThermomanPreacher 23:16, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

SJA Series 5
What is the evidence for placing SJA series 5 as happening in May - August? --Borisashton ☎  22:05, March 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * In answer to my own question the SJA stuff was originally in a section entitled Spring/Summer but during a revamp of the page it was moved (quite rightly with lack of evidence) to May - August. However, in Sky we see that the tax disc expires on 31 March that year. Therefore placing Sky between 1 January and 30 March and the other two episodes soon afterwards. Accordingly I have moved the SJA stuff to the January - April section instead. --Borisashton ☎  23:06, March 8, 2018 (UTC)

Too many pictures?
Does anyone else think the January - April section has too many images? To me at least, they disrupt the flow of the article. I feel like we could stand to get rid of at least three of them.LauraBatham ☎  14:45, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hm, personally I find it fairly pleasing, actually, this highly illustrated one-image-per-paragraph look. It's unadvisable for long pages because it makes the loading time greater, but I don't really follow this matter of "disrupting the flow of the article". Scrooge MacDuck ☎  15:54, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
