Talk:The Power of the Daleks (TV story)

Vulcanis?
The "Myths" section is incorrect. At no point on Star Trek is Spock's world ever called Vulcanis. Spock is called a Vulcanian, but the name Vulcanis is never used for his planet. This should be changed.

First Doctor TV story
Currently this page is in the "First Doctor television stories" category. I realize that it is because a picture of the First Doctor momentarily appears when the Second Doctor looks at himself in the mirror. However, my question is "why are we using this kind of criteria to consider this a First Doctor story?" By this reasoning, shouldn't we also consider every episode where 1's photo appears to be a First Doctor story? That includes episodes like The Eleventh Hour, Nightmare in Silver, Vincent and the Doctor, and The Vampires of Venice. That reasoning sounds silly to me, but I wanted to post here before removing the category. -- Bold  Clone  00:15, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

Archive status
"All six episodes are missing. The original broadcast video was wiped, and no 16mm telerecordings exist in the BBC Archives." This only applies to the first five episodes. There never was a broadcast video for the sixth episode. It was transmitted from a 35mm film print (obviously since destroyed), recorded from 625 line cameras. Of course, the 16mm copies made for overseas sales of part six have also been destroyed. 165.225.80.59talk to me 11:50, August 9, 2016 (UTC)

Time period?
I noticed that all of the characters from this story are categorised as being 21st century individuals, yet I've seen no indication on this page, or in the episode itself (from what I can recall) that lends credence to this label. The novelisation's page says "the near future." Does this page need recategorising or do the character pages? Memnarc ☎  06:48, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * From recollection a date of 2020 comes from contemporary Radio Times articles and it's been pretty much embedded into fan consciousness that it's been so standard in chronologies, spin-offs and the like and even chronologies that opted to set it later came up with ideas such as the colonists having arrived after a century in a deep sleep ship and carried on using their old calendar.
