Theory:Doctor Who audio discontinuity and plot holes/The Time of the Daleks


 * Young William Shakespeare is clearly a girl in Time of the Daleks.
 * Assuming that little Billy Shakes has hit puberty by this time is a bit of a leap, isn't it? Even if he has, just because his voice is high-pitched doesn't invalidate the character's gender. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here.
 * No boy has ever spoken like that. Ever. I guess what the OP was "trying to achieve" was to show that this can't possibly be a young William Shakespeare, as the real William Shakespeare was a boy, not a girl.
 * Isn't it just an in-joke about the young male actors playing older women in Shakespeare's own plays?
