Talk:Arachnids in the UK (TV story)

Year
How do we know the story is set in 2018? TheFatPanda ☎  21:53, October 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * This story is set within a day of the end of The Woman Who Fell to Earth, which was set in 2018.


 * As I noted, it may not still have been September by the end of that episode, but we can safely assume that Grace's funeral did not take place three months after her death, during which time the Doctor stayed in town and never changed clothing. After the funeral, Yaz says she ought to change, the Doctor gets her new outfit, and in the same scene, she asks for their help with the teleport. There is no reason to assume the final scenes of Woman are set in a different year entirely. 22:09, October 28, 2018 (UTC)


 * ...when was it stated that TWWFTE was set in 2018? TheFatPanda ☎  22:10, October 28, 2018 (UTC)
 * This has already been taken into account on that episode's talk page. The year is given on a football ticket in Rahul's workshop. --DCLM ☎  07:01, October 29, 2018 (UTC)

Better picture
Would anyone object to us replacing the top image for this story with, I dunno, Yaz's family or something? I know some folks with arachnophobia, and I feel like this is a little in-your-face. – N8 ☎ 02:28, October 29, 2018 (UTC)

 * Honestly, I must admit I did not consider this when adding that image to the infobox. Even though I myself hate spiders, I went straight to that as a "infobox image" because... well, it kind of summarised the story, but with this in mind, I think we could try and find something else that doesn't triggers aracnophobic people. In any case, sorry to anyone that may have been triggered by that. OncomingStorm12th ☎  03:42, October 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * Would an image of one of the giant-web-covered rooms, sans spiders, do? If you ask me, it'd be even more representative of the episode, since plenty of Doctor Who stories have done giant spiders before, but the visual of the webbed hotel seemed rather original. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  19:28, October 29, 2018 (UTC)
