Talk:2009

DWF closure - link rationale
Just for the record I chose to use a TrekBBS forum link to cite the announcement of the closure of the Doctor Who Forum and Outpost Gallifrey since the original DWF and OG announcement pages will no longer be accessible as of 31 July, making them invalid as citation sources. Trek BBS is likely to survive for awhile yet, and they quote the announcement in full. 23skidoo 17:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Children of Earth
Children of Earth appears to be set in September 2009, any reason this is not mentioned? HollyM 12:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Because every Doctor Who/Torchwood/Sarah Jane Adventures episode is set a year past transmission date, since the Doctor dropped off Rose in 2006, after a year missing in the 2005 episode Aliens of London, so Children of Earth broadcast in 2009 would be set in 2010. MercM

But a newspaper in Part Two of COE clearly reads "September 2009".


 * I've changed my mind on this again, RTD is not stupid, he clearly meant to put September 2009, mainly because it is some time after Journey's End in early 2009. Therefore, it is not a continuity error and should be included. The thing with Donna saying about The Doctor saving the world in 2008 could be referring to any of the times he did so in that year. Children of Earth takes place months after TW Series 2 (Jan-Feb 09), DW Series 4 (Feb- Mar 09) and SJA Series 2 (Summer/late Summer 09). Whoniverse93 22:55, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
