Okay, fine. Here, I do understand your strife on the name, so may I suggest we add this continuity point?


 * The members of the Tribe of Gum share the names and identical appearances of the members of the Tribe shown in the original Doctor Who story TV: An Unearthly Child. Furthermore, the group quotes the events of the story. However the tribe in the show had never been known as "the Tribe of Gum" up to this point. It is currently unknown if it is actually them.

There, no agnowlegement of the name connecting them. Why is this an issue? Why can't we have this bit? Even if it's not them, the continuity of them all having the same name is present. Frankly, I could care less about wheather or not the name matches; there is so many other continuity bits that connect this tribe to the one in An Unearthly Child.
