Talk:Shada (TV story)

"A man who is probably Chronotis reappears in PROSE: Unnatural History as Professor Daniel Joyce."

One of the authors of Unnatural History specifically denies this in a Usenet post:

Prisoners of Shada
Should the prisoners of Shada be added to the cast list? Or should a list of them merely be added to the Story Notes?

My sources are from In Vision's issue 44 of Shada and Doctor Who Plotlines - Shada.

The prisoners and the actors / actresses who would of played them are:

Lucretia Borgia - Ann Lee

Boedicia - Joan Harsant

Lady Macbeth - Shirley Conrad

Salome - Julie Le Rousse

Executioner - John Cannon

Rasputin - Derek Moss

Nero - Barry Summerford

Gladiator - Steve Kelly

Genghis Khan - Dave Cooper

Dalek - Steve Ismay

Cyberman - Ridgewell Hawkes

Zygon - Les Shannon

Other prisoners not mentioned in the cast list but elsewhere in the magazine were:

Rungar, a war criminal

Sabjatric, a mass murderer

Wirrn

Invalid source
According to T:VALID this is invalid because it is one big deleted scene. Therefore, I am adding an invalid source tag.--104.32.214.184talk to me 23:39, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Continuity
It is a policy of this wiki that stories labelled as "invalid source" do not have continuity. I have removed the continuity entries from this article and am placing them here. Shambala108 ☎  00:07, August 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * During this adventure, the Doctor and Romana were captured by Borusa, only to be returned after being trapped in the space time continuum. (TV: The Five Doctors)
 * The Doctor would use the The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey again later. (PROSE: The Dimension Riders)
 * When Skagra examines the Doctor's life, brief clips from TV: The Pirate Planet, The Power of Kroll, The Creature from the Pit, The Androids of Tara, Destiny of the Daleks and City of Death are shown. Mary Tamm's version of Romana is visible in some of the clips, marking one of only two times that both Romanas appeared in the same television story (the other being the pre-regeneration flashbacks at the end of TV: Logopolis).
 * The First Doctor first met Chronotis in Cambridge in 1958. (PROSE: Cambridge Previsited)
 * In C. S. Lewis' short story The Professor, the Queen and the Bookshop, there was a book named Shada. (COMIC: The Professor, the Queen and the Bookshop)
 * Rassilon once mentioned he would later call himself 'the Conqueror of Dronid,' Skagra's homeworld. (AUDIO: Zagreus)
 * Qixotl first heard about the Relic while stranded on Dronid. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)


 * If I remember correctly, there's clips of both Romanas in Resurrection of the Daleks.165.225.80.225talk to me 16:40, November 23, 2017 (UTC)

Shada on Gold
just wondering abuot this clip wich seems to show that the 1992 version of shada was shown on uk gold in 1995 just wondering if its real or fake and wether it whoud make shada valid <--removed per Tardis:Video policy-->

Because this story has now been officially completed by the BBC, even getting a cinema (as of writing), DVD and Blu-Ray release (2 weeks from release as of writing), wouldn't it now be officially a valid source, and the infobox can put in the date of the completed version?

 * This is currently being discussed at Thread:226169. --Borisashton ☎  12:49, November 25, 2017 (UTC)
 * Can someone tell us when that discussion has been closed up and the final verdict has been decided over the validity of the 2017 restoration of Shada? JMC Red Dwarf ☎  18:38, January 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * The discussion hasn't been officially closed, since anyone still can comment on the Thread, but as far as i can see, everyone was positive about making Shada a valid story. P.H. CP ☎  01:36, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. You’ll still tell us when the discussion has been officially closed, right? It’s just really frustrating that this whole issue over the validity of the 2017 restoration of Shada is unresolved. JMC Red Dwarf ☎  04:09, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * JMC, if you're really interested in getting the topic closed, you could pester an admin on their talk page. – N8 ☎ 12:43, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary to "pester" an admin; we are aware of the forum discussion and its current state. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  13:57, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * The thread has now closed and the 2017 version was ruled in favour of validity. Check the final post for details. --Borisashton ☎  00:33, February 7, 2018 (UTC)
