Talk:Planet of the Ood (TV story)

At one point Donna compares the Ood's translators to "Persil balls". Aside from Cassandra's erroneous mention of the iPod, can anyone think of other commercial products mentioned in the series? (Real-world products, that is; nothing from International Electromatics or Auto Plastics, please!) Quornhog 22:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you mean television shows and films as well? Because if you do, I can think of many. The evil dudeArnie 22:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Plenty, even if we just restrict it to commercial products within all Doctor Who media it's probably a long list. Though to be fair the term iPod is used now as a umbrella term for all mp3 players (though if you're looking for iPod mentions it's mentioned also in BFA: Memory Lane, again not actually referring to specially Apple's music player but just a digital music player. --Tangerineduel 04:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't thinking of other TV shows and films, but the sort of things you might find in a supermarket or department store (apart from the DVD's!)

And I would question the assertion that iPod is synonymous with MP3 Players (yet; brand names like Walkman, Hoover and Tannoy do seem to have become generic). Quornhog 12:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

does it make sense to have a unlinked [src] next to --The Doctor?
"i don't think so"

the last parameter only makes sense when referring to another page: "Now they have the children, they won't need the nanny anymore!"
