Talk:Untitled (1963 trailer)

Page is heavily inaccurate, may not even deserve a page
I know what trailer this is referring to, and it was NOT narrated in character at all.

I have read the DWM issue cited here, and it does not include the full transcript of the trailer this page refers to, but here is the full transcript, taken from the reference book Who-ology Regenerated Edition: The Official Miscellany, which I have also read (and, while the DWM issue doesn’t contain the full transcript, it contains enough more than enough quotes for me to able to identify them as one and the same, as does this page);

"My name is William Hartnell and, as Doctor Who, I make my debut on Saturday the 23rd of November at 5:15 The Doctor is an extraordinary old man from another world who owns a time and space machine. He and his granddaughter, Susan (played by Carole Ann Ford) have landed in England and are enjoying their stay, until Susan arouses the curiosity of two of her schoolteachers (played by William Russell and Jacqueline Hill). They follow Susan and get inside the Ship and Doctor Who decides to leave Earth, starting a series of adventures that I know will thrill and excite you every week."

So, clearly far from in character. Literally the first thing he says is "my name is William Hartnell", and all references to "Doctor Who" or "the Doctor" are in the third person. I think the confusing came from "as Doctor Who, I make my debut…", but the context of the full transcript makes it clear he means "in the role of Doctor Who, who is a fictional character.".

Which brings me to my next point. Since this isn’t in character or particularly narrative, do we even "need" a page for it. I mean, we don’t have pages for random interviews. OK, this was scripted, but we don’t have pages for random statements made by Doctor Who alumni either. Or, maybe this is notable, by virtue of being the first ever scripted (albeit it not in-universe, not even in a "meta-fictional" or "Fourth Wall breaking" way) Doctor Who-released production, its mere status as trailer for the first ever Doctor Who story, and being on of the very few totally missing DW productions, audio and all. I would disagree with that, personally, but I can imagine a reasonably convincing case for that. However, either way, this page should at least be cleaned up, because as it stands it’s peddling false information, intentionally or otherwise.

ok, the first part was "fixed". What about the second part?

Actually, I think I may have been viewing an archive old revision of this page by mistake, looks like it was fixed a while ago. But, in any case, it seems a little… you know…
