Talk:Mission to the Unknown (TV story)

First paragraph
If it's a prologue to The Daleks' Master Plan, wouldn't that make it the zeroth episode rather than the 13th? --Andrew Nagy 04:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I think its just a reference to an extra episode in the serial not it's actual placing Dark Lord Xander 05:20, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Shortest episode?
A previous editor claimed that this is the "shortest episode" (edited to "story"). That wouldn't, however, account for the charity specials that are much shorter. What I wonder, though, is how short this actually is compared to others? Since it's being compared to multi-episode stories, does this still fall into the area of one of the shortest "stories"? -- Immora 06:00, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Uncredited cast
I have moved the uncredited cast to the talk page until they can be properly sourced (no IMDB). Shambala108 ☎  00:52, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

 * Planetarians (all uncredited) - Johnny Clayton, Pat Gorman, Sam Mansary, Len Russell

Varga Plants
The article currently claims they were created in Dalek labs - where does this information come from? In the episode they just say they came from Skaro, backed up by the Varga plant article, where it says they existed since early in Skaro's history (and later mutated, but no mention of laboratories).

 * This is a (hopefully accurate) quote from Marc Cory from the televised episode: "The only place in the universe where Vargas grow naturally is on the Daleks' own planet, Skaro." Maybe the labs are mentioned in the novelization? Shambala108 ☎  00:16, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Removed info
I removed the following from the article:
 * It is one of only two Doctor Who stories in which the Doctor is not the main character (the other being Love & Monsters)

If you want to say that in Love and Monsters the Doctor is not a main character, then you have to count Blink and Turn Left as well, and with that many examples, the fact loses its importance. Shambala108 ☎  04:54, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
