Talk:The Mysterious Planet (TV story)

Link to The Stolen Earth
When I encountered it article had this curious note:
 * The Doctor appears to be unaware (or he's not willing to reveal to 1980s-era Peri) that in the early 21st century the Earth underwent another, much more brief and less catastrophic, relocation at the hands of the Daleks (TV: The Stolen Earth).

Why would the Sixth Doctor be aware of something which not only occurs to the Tenth Doctor, but indeed something that depends on the events of the Last Time War intervening? Another continuity note covering the same ground has been added in replacement.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  08:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * This is absurd to quote the Cybermen DELETE DELETE Dark Lord Xander 08:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Story "numbering"
According to this wiki, the four stories that comprise Season 23 are listed as 143a-d. The DVDs number the stories individually (numbers 144-147). Which would be considered "official"? 76.95.15.69 08:35, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Intro
The intro on this page states:


 * The Mysterious Planet was the unofficial title given to the first four episodes of The Trial of a Time Lord, the season-long story that constituted season 23 of Doctor Who.

...while on the other pages for the segments of The Trial of a Time Lord state:


 *   was the unbroadcast title given to the first four episodes of The Trial of a Time Lord, the season-long story that constituted season 23 of Doctor Who.

My question is whether we should replace the former with the latter on this page or do the reverse on all the other pages for the stories of Season 23? TheMostBoringManInTheWorld  (talk)  15:32, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Eh. Nobody replied so I just changed "unbroadcast" to "unnofficial". TheMostBoringManInTheWorld   (talk)  15:46, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, it's a good question, but, since you're new here, I'll start with a word of advice. Local sensibilities here at Tardis demand that if you start a discussion, you wait for an answer before proceeding. If you feel that your discussion is not getting quick enough attention, you are at liberty — if the issue involves more than one page, as in this case — to go to Board:The Panopticon and start a thread which points to the talk page and says, "Hey guys, can I get some comment here, please?"


 * In this instance, however, there's no need for an elaborate discussion. As I pointed out on your talk page and on the forums in another thread, unofficial is simply an incorrect word. The title is used by the BBC. It is merely a title which was not transmitted.  So unbroadcast is definitely the more accurate word.


 * [Another thing: please don't use the CSS class and id "tech". That's reserved for admin announcements.  You were trying to trigger a quote.  Use  instead.  Or, in a case like this, just indent one level more than the ident level of your message. Generally speaking, our CSS classes and ids have syntactical meaning, and it's important not to dilute that meaning by using them "just cause they look cool".]   17:55: Sun 05 Jan 2014


 * Sorry and thanks. Hope I just didn't cause much trouble. TheMostBoringManInTheWorld   (talk)  07:38, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
