Talk:Spearhead from Space (TV story)

Did 1995 release include the song?
It says the 1995 VHS release was unedited. Does that mean the Fleetwood Mac song was included? I was under the impression the 2011 DVD release was the first time the song had been included in a home video edition of the story. 68.146.64.9 14:26, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was mistaken in my earlier edit. Oh Well did appear on the 1995 VHS release. A quick Gallifrey Base search cleared this out. Mennenennen 17:08, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

I hear you knocking
During the DVD Special features, there is an interview with Jon Pertwee in 1994, there is a brief period where it sounds as though someone is hammering something. Is this on all DVDs? 137.158.153.203 09:47, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Blu-ray
"It is the first and only Doctor Who story of the classic era to be released in the Blu-ray format." This isn't correct. The first Doctor Who story to be released in the "Blu-ray format" was Pyramids of Mars. A SD copy is included in the Sarah Jane adventures, season 4. 165.225.80.59talk to me 09:32, August 11, 2016 (UTC)

John Woodnutt
"John Woodnutt (Hibbert) would subsequently appear in Doctor Who with Jon Pertwee in Frontier in Space (as the Draconian Emperor) and with Tom Baker in Terror of the Zygons (as both the Duke of Forgill and Broton, warlord of the Zygons)."

It seems odd to have mention of Frontier in Space, and Terror of the Zygons, but not The Keeper of Traken.165.225.80.225talk to me 12:29, November 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Please feel free to add this info if you feel it should be there. I have a guess regarding why it wasn't on the page. The sentence is more focused on the Doctors Woodnutt played with than on his roles. So he played with the Third Doctor again and also played with the Fourth Doctor is the main message.

 * Actually, we don't allow cast notes on story pages. The information has been removed. Shambala108 ☎  13:08, November 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I was thinking the same thing: why would such detailed info on one of the actors be on the story page rather than the actor page. Amorkuz ☎  13:13, November 17, 2017 (UTC)
