User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-1272640-20170120013117 It's fairly obvious who some of the characters are in A Star's View of Caroline, from Burning with Optimism's Flames.

Caroline is clearly Susan Foreman. The events of An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, and Marco Polo are referenced by "Caroline". She even gives a flipped version of the First Doctor's speech in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

Meanwhile, Homogeny and Hegemony are Ian and Barbara. Their descriptions morph between different versions of The Daleks, initially taking the appearance in the original serial. Then it changes to those their counterparts in Dr. Who and the Daleks wore, and cinema reels are mentioned. Lastly, they're described in the outfits they wore in ''Dr. Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks''.

Essentially, it's made very clear who these characters are, though they're never referred to as Susan, Ian, and Barbara. However, is all of this enough for us to treat them as the same characters? Or should we put A Star's View of Caroline info on separate articles?
