Talk:The Invasion of Time (TV story)

The page needs to explain why the Doctor's bio-data is not in the Matrix. There is no mention as to why, whether it be the Master in The Deadly Assassin or what. The page for the Deadly Assassin makes no inference to this either.


 * Well, that should go in the discontinuity page for this stoy then. It shouldn't go here. That's pure fan speculation. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:28, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not saying it is discontinuity, I'm asking someone to verify if it breaks continuity or not. I've not been able to find an answer, but have yet to discover if there is an answer, therefore, it would be misleading to place under discontinuity if it is explainable.


 * There likely is none. And yes, it is discontinuity. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:10, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

See Tardis:Cast and crew lists, especially the second and last paragraphs. "They should know" does not count on this wiki. Shambala108 ☎  16:20, June 7, 2018 (UTC)

Illegal Aliens
"The Doctor brings Leela to Gallifrey, although he had previously shown reluctance to bring an outsider there. (TV: The Hand of Fear)" He also brings the Vardans.165.225.76.164talk to me 14:31, June 7, 2018 (UTC)

Dirty Doctor
"In one scene there is a dirt mark one side of the Doctor's face, but in the next scene it is on the other side of his face." It's all in the same scene, in part 4, when he's making a hole in the force field. The dirt moves side because one section of film is shot in a wobbly mirror, for dramatic effect. The unintended consequence is the dirt mark moving to the other cheek.165.225.76.164talk to me 16:05, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

Never The Key
"The Sash of Rassilon, the Rod of Rassilon, the Great Key and the Crown of Rassilon are all Artefacts of Rassilon given to a Gallifreyan President when he is elected." No, not the key. No president between Rassilon and the Doctor have ever touched it. Rassilon was a wily old bird.165.225.80.75talk to me 18:01, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

Don't Bin Nesbin
"On the way back to the TARDIS, Nesbin is killed by a Sontaran." He looks alive and well at the end of part 6, when he watches the TARDIS dematerialise.165.225.80.75talk to me 13:42, June 13, 2018 (UTC)
