Talk:Terror of the Zygons (TV story)

"The departure of Harry while Sarah remains with the Doctor marks one of only two incontrovertible times a companion who had already been with the Doctor before another one joins remains with him after the second companion leaves."

Would Adam Mitchell be a third example, or is he in the "debatable" category? Sean Fennel ☎  18:13, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would count Adam Mitchell, but since I've seen people insist that Adam was never a real companion, I guess it isn't incontrovertible. I would also count Rory, since he "left" after falling through the crack in time; Jack Harkness, left behind after The Parting of the Ways; Compassion; Anji Kapoor; Hex; and Mickey Smith, who remained behind on Pete's world while Rose continued to travel with the Doctor for a while. -- Rowan Earthwood ☎  00:23, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Which tartan was the Doctor wearing at the beginning of this serial? I'm hoping it's McCrimmon. Tbug ☎  04:32, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

I vividly recall this story being repeated in Scotland (as an omnibus episode) one afternoon in 1976, but I can't find the broadcast listed on the BBC Genome site. Can anyone pinpoint the exact date? 85.255.234.208talk to me 21:59, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

"When Sarah is typing on the typewriter, the text she is typing is already printed onto the paper, and she is therefore just typing over the text."

This is not an error. Sarah is underlining the title, and is typing a row of underscores.

 * That's right, she is. There's no production error here at all.165.225.80.225talk to me 10:05, April 12, 2018 (UTC)

Tullock
On the sign for The Fox Inn, it is spelt "Tullock"165.225.80.225talk to me 10:05, April 12, 2018 (UTC)

British English Would Be Better
"The Duke tells the Brigadier that, as a Scotsman, he should have gotten a refund for Sarah and the Doctor's return train tickets." The Duke does not say "gotten", that would never have been allowed on the BBC in 1975.165.225.80.225talk to me 10:17, April 12, 2018 (UTC)

The Brig as a companion
So in the book Doctor Who: The Essential Guide (Twelfth Doctor Edition), on page 66, it details The Brig as a Fourth Doctor companion and does explicitly state Terror of the Zygons. Can we add him to companion box of this story?Gearedspy ☎  11:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Many people define "companions" in different ways. The fact that a particular reference book makes a particular judgment call does not necessarily mean we will follow suit — the Wiki makes its own compromises. I don't mean by this that we shouldn't, necessarily, count the Brig as a companion in this story; but the fact that the reference book says X or Y doesn't settle the matter in and of itself.
