Talk:The Caves of Androzani (TV story)

Extended plot
Is the extended plot on this page really necessary? It makes it nearly impossible to read. Tardis1963 11:23, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

A line
Hello, the fifth dr says something in this story i think of which is a reference to the fourth's line in an earlier season. But i cannot resite the exact lines.

However it is something to do with him writing a diary about the events he had seen in chronological order but he didn't have the time to do those things (along those lines). This came from the 16th season when Romana (1st one, mary tam) are looking through the 4th dr's diary and he says the same thing as this one. It be a quite good addition to the coninuity/references section, i go back through the story and see what he said exactly. HumanRejection talk to me 10:22, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Why is Colin Baker being credited before Peter Davison listed here as a production error? Wasn't it done on purpose? I would move it to Story Notes. And Introducing... A Leg ☎  19:53, September 14, 2016 (UTC)

Last Man Standing
"The only characters who do not die during this story are Peri and Timmin, who are also the only female characters: counting the Doctor's regeneration as the death of his fifth incarnation, every male character dies."

No, this isn't true. It's widely believed, but it isn't true. Supporting artist Keith Harvey plays "Thin Stranger". He is sent by Morgus to blow up the copper mines. He even gets to speak - "Yes, Trau". He goes off in the private lift and is never seen again. There's no evidence that he is killed in the mine explosion.165.225.80.75talk to me 16:58, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

Note The Error
"The electronic device that Morgus uses in his office during his first scene in part one is obviously a TV/teletext remote control, with John Normington's thumb conveniently placed to hide the manufacturer's logo." Surely this isn't a production error? It's at the most a story note. They didn't accidently use a TV remote control, it was a deliberate choice.165.225.76.55talk to me 09:42, October 23, 2018 (UTC)

Jesus Christ Superstar
The Doctor's regeneration in this episode is very Christlike. Peri is Mary Magdalene. I wish that part of the story had been better handled, as it all rushes through in about 2 minutes, while less memorable plot elements are dragged out tediously. The fact that he's so stoic when he doesn't know if it would work is reminiscent of AL Webber's JC Superstar, where Jesus has self doubts and isn't quite sure that his salvific mission will work. Webber did this deliberately, because he thought that if Jesus knew firmly that he was God and that his regeneration was assured made it not much of a sacrifice, the story would need Jesus to acknowledge a possibility of failure for there to be any dramatic tension at all.Matthew Babe Stevenson ☎  19:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)
