Talk:The Pilot Episode

Policeman
On the BBC Production paperwork for this episode Reg Cranfield is credited as the policeman but some websites say Fred Rawlings. Which one should we put?--GingerM 20:03, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Reg Cranfield is probably correct, though to be safe you could include the above in the "Story Notes."

 * Done.--GingerM 16:52, 6 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Third page
I see no need for a separate page treating differences between this and "An Unearthly Child." They can be covered both here and on the other story's page in the Story notes. --Freethinker1of1 17:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Cast and Crew
The pilot episode is just the first episode of the first serial. Why does it have a long list of names of cavemen actors? The only name there should be the stand-in who played the shadow of Kal.

Additionally, there are names of people not linked to on the An Unearthly Child page. Margot Maxine has her name linked a few more places as an extra who walked off to avoid blacking her teeth, which is an interesting note for the serial's page, but if she didn't act, we can't really write a Doctor Who actor page for her. --Nyktimos 03:24, December 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Removed the names. I'm putting them on Talk:An Unearthly Child --Nyktimos 20:11, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Enemy
Why is the First Doctor considered the enemy on this page? TheTARDIScontroller 20:33, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because if you look at this as a self-contained story, which this page does, he is the enemy. That's sort of the point of the narrative.  Barbara, Ian and Susan are our heroes, and the Doctor is set clearly against them.   02:13: Sun 13 Nov 2011

Pilot, Why Not.
If this is not considered a pilot, why isn't it? Its not meant to be the first ep proper as it has no next episode caption, something that would have been present surely? What do you call it? a try-out for the first episode? That's what a Pilot often is of course, or is it just thought of as a poor attempt to record the first episode? Some explanation would be welcome rather than that dopey line about you believeing something I don't nonsense.81.111.124.190 22:17, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
