Talk:Blanche (Victory of the Daleks)

Name
Stop these lies now! Her name is not supposed to be Blanche Breen, but Lilian Breen, and she was played by Susannah Fielding. Check Google images of the publicity photographs of the actresses playing Lilian (Susannah Fielding) and Blanche (Nina de Cosimo) as proof. It was a bit silly to call her one thing in the story and another in the closing credits.

 * There's no justification for calling the article Blanche. That name is, as far as I can tell, never said on-screen in the final edit. This is an in-universe article, so in-universe full names, if provided by the script, take precedence. At the very least, it should be moved to Breen, because that's definitively established by the episode. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong in going ahead and renaming the article to "Blanche Breen", even though Blanche is technically derived only from the end credits. I think we should in general give full names, even if we have to go to the credits to find them. Others may disagree, but, again, I don't think you can disagree with moving the article at least to Breen.


 * But in the cast list on the story page, the way she's actually presented in the credits should take priority. There, she should definitely be listed as only Blanche.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 03:33, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
