Talk:The Star Beast (TV story)

T:OFF REL
So what happened to T:OFF REL? Am I missing something? StevieGLiverpool ☎  19:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Just saw the history thing, ignore me!!! StevieGLiverpool ☎  19:15, 23 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's just that T:OFF REL hasn't been updated since the conclusion of Forum:Temporary forums/Changing the Spoiler Policy. 19:25, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Year
We currently have 2023 as the date the story is set, which lines up with Sylvia's claim that it's been fifteen years since Donna lost her memories. The problem is, thanks to that pesky Aliens of London dating controversy, this should actually place the current year at 2024. WaltK ☎  21:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Rose's age complicates things. Maybe Sylvia was rounding up/down?

 * From DWM 597:
 * "We slightly fudged the years with Donna," confesses Russell T Davies. "But you mustn't forget, uh, that time cloud that descended on Camden in 2017 and dislocated everyone by exactly eight months and three days. We'll tell that story one day. I will come to that in Series Seven," he jokes.

 * So. The date. The End of Time is set in 2010, and, by this point, Donna and Shaun didn't have a child. By the time of The Star Beast, whose date is 2023 as confirmed by the Word of God, has Rose Noble be fifteen years old. This doesn't make a wit of sense, but it's explicitly not set in 2025. This is now a separate issue from the Aliens of London dating controversy, but likely be its own The Star Beast dating controversy. 22:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Summary
Anyone currently working on this? I can get started if not. Najawin ☎  21:55, 25 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Have started but need to go to bed. Will just publish changes, then somebody else can continue. With the credits, I was at either page three or four. Aquanafrahudy   📢   🖊️  21:57, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
