Talk:The Infinite Quest (TV story)

Heart's Desire?

I just watched "The Infinite Quest", and hoped to find somewhere some sort of discussion what the Doctors "heart's desire" might have been. Since there didn't seem to be a clue in the episode, I guess there is no official answer to it - so this question might be out of place here. However, if somebody knows of such a discussion or anything like that in some forum or elsewhere, please let me know. Or would it be ok nevertheless to start such a discussion or rather speculation here?

 * Well I'd suggest the various Doctor Who Forums out there; The Doctor Who Forum at Gallifreyone.com actually that's the only one that comes to mind at the moment. You could alternatively start a post in the Forum:Reference desk Forum. --Tangerineduel 13:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I reckon the Doctor's heart desire was the return of the Time Lords and Gallifrey. The evil dudeArnie 14:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I gather from this conversation then that this passage I removed is entirely speculation then? I'm also not 100% sure what it even means, but I don't recall the Doctor's desire appearing on screen. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:00, July 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * The Time Lord knows the ship would furnish a reality without a Time War, and refuses the allurement.

Is it definately canon?
Is it definately canon, or on the same rank as the origonal novels/ short stories/ audo plays/ webcasts etc.? 121.72.207.139 20:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * more canon than those, actually, if you go by the fact that it has gotten referenced in places like The Doctor Who Encyclopedia alongside live action televised stories. --Stardizzy2 20:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yet there are still some issues if we pay attention to the Tenth Doctor's age, so I regard it as non-canon, unfortunately --Bob Dallas ☎  05:15, August 21, 2017 (UTC)

DVD Problems?
Just got the North American release on DVD, and it wouldn't play. Thought it might be due to scratches on the disc (it was loose in the case when it arrived) so exchanged it. Same issues with the second one. Start to play the main show and it just stops. Everything stops. No vid, no sound, DVD player seems to be rejecting it. Anyone else? 67.237.236.75 00:15, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * The Gallifrey Base forum might be a more appropriate place to ask this question. I haven't had any problems with mine and I've played it on at least 3 different machines, including an old PS2. Try getting a copy from a different shop, as sometimes a print run error may occur within a specific lot of product. 23skidoo 19:28, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

timeline error
Evolution of the Daleks and The Lazarus Experiement say it takes place between them but this page says it's between 42 and Human Nature. What is the correct placement?

I think that the standard timeline this wiki is using is the one on Tenth Doctor - Timeline via the Doctor Who Reference Guide. By that nature, this story's between Evolution and Lazarus. 94.2.176.183 07:51, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
