Talk:It's Showtime (TV story)

Call the Midwife cast: the actors or the characters?
Should the four Call the Midwife actors be considered as the actors themselves (while just being in costume), or the actual characters they play in the show? WaltK ☎  01:48, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Re:"Who removed this?"
I thought we decided this and all Christmas idents (sans Consider Yourself) were valid now? WaltK ☎  18:16, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah — no, sorry about the confusion. See the third bullet point at Tardis:Temporary forums/Archive/Trailers. It breaks the fourth wall and was thus postponed to the relevant section of the Speedround. It's not invalid as an ad, just as a story which treats the Doctor as a "living fictional character" who just casually exists in a BBC backlot; that is, to my eyes, it doesn't take place in the DWU any more than Who Framed Roger Rabbit takes place in the Dumbo universe. It features some kind of meta version of the character. One might disagree, but I thought it was worth discussing beyond the purely commercial question, hence putting it off to the second thread.

I haven't noticed any coverage of this video yet. How do we treat it? As an extension of It's Showtime? As its own video? And does it feature the Eleventh Doctor or Matt Smith? WaltK ☎  13:49, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That’s a behind the scenes on set video, it should be added in the infobox as a “BTs” video as no one is playing a character in that 81.106.187.1talk to me 13:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, agreed, it's its own thing. May warrant its own real-world page, but it's clearly not part of the narrative of the two proper parts of It's Showtime. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 14:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Valid

I feel this should be valid. Even the BBC treat it as an event that actually happened to the Eleventh Doctor. 81.106.187.1talk to me 15:16, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This is to be discussed on the Inclusion Debates Speedround in the Forums like all the other purported fourth-wall-breakers! Only two days left! If you want to make the case go make it there. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 15:24, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
