Talk:Deep Breath (TV story)

Mark Benton cameo? Was Mark Benton (Clive from 'Rose') the actor playing the man in the beard whose eyes are stolen at the beginning of the episode? Lordandrei ☎  04:39, August 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Nope, it was Tony Way. Geek Mythology ☎  14:41, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Title question
TBA means To Be Announced right? So why can't we add a title name for the next episode in the infobox? The titles for series 8 are all oficially announced. Just wondering...


 * Please remember to sign your posts. To answer your question, per Tardis:Spoiler policy, we don't post story titles until after the story is released. If you're not familiar with the spoiler policy, please read it — we take it very seriously on this wiki. Shambala108 ☎  15:15, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Doctor's knowledge about regeneration
I may be missing something, but didn't 11 know he didn't have any more regenerations left at the point in the story where he makes the phone call? If so, how did he know that Clara would be with a new him? (Or was this before he had a chance to calculate that he wasn't going to regenerate?) 628548 ☎  17:02, August 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * The phone call was done when the process of regeneration had already begun. JagoAndLitefoot ☎  18:53, August 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * IIRC, the regeneration started when he was old, and Series 7 Clara was there when he partially regened into the younger form. So I don't see where in that he made the call. Maybe I just need to go back and watch again. 628548 ☎  19:03, August 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think he made the call in the moments between the big regenerative explosion and his farewell in the TARDIS. He returned to younger form after the big explosion and was already inside the TARDIS when Clara got there. At least I assumed he made the call right before going upstairs. ~Playsonic2 19:10, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Jobs with not enough variables
 * Prop Buyer - Donna Shakesheff, Helen O'Leary
 * Set Dresser - Jayne Davies, Mike Elkins, Jamie Farrell
 * Costume Assisstant - Katarina Capellazzi, Gemma Evans, Charlotte Beswick

Also, Milk VFX was credited as Milk, so I'm not sure how to handle that in light of T:CREW.  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  22:22, August 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ordinarily, I think a redirect would be used - but in this case it cannot as there is an article about the milk you drink.


 * Maybe I'm not understanding the problem, but why couldn't you pipe switch like this: Milk . Shambala108 ☎  00:45, August 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * The template takes page names, not wikitext markup. I think because of the technical limitations this will have to be an exception to the rule.  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  00:57, August 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Then I suggest asking either User:CzechOut or User:SmallerOnTheOutside if they have any suggestions, as they are the technicals guys on the wiki. Shambala108 ☎  01:10, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

76 or 80 minutes?
What's the correct running time, 76 or 80? I'm seeing plenty of reviews saying 80, which may either be a case of rounding up or it's possible it incorporated the Strax intro seen in the theatres (which is erroneously mentioned as being part of the TV broadcast by some reviewers). We have 76 but it might not hurt to double-check. 23skidoo ☎  02:30, August 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * The correct time is 76 minutes. This can be verified by BBC iPlayer.  Original Authority (talk) 09:21, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

Using the leaks as a source
I don't know if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I'm opposed to using the leaks (scripts and video) as sources for these articles. Let's not give such activity legitimacy. For example, the fact Matt Smith filmed his cameo during the Christmas special production was confirmed by Moffat in several interviews. We don't need to cite the leaked scripts for that information. 23skidoo ☎  17:18, August 28, 2014 (UTC)
