Talk:William Shakespeare

Shakespeare Code reference
I remember reading in DWM that a line of dialogue was written (and possibly filmed) to cover off by the Tenth Doctor acts as though he's never met Shakespeare before, even though the Fourth Doctor had. Unfortunately I don't have a source handy. Can anyone add this information?

The Kingmaker (spoilers)
SPOILERS: I understand that BFA: The Kingmaker has Richard III and William Shakespeare swapping places, so from 1597 onwards, "Shakespeare" is actually Richard. Now, Tardis:Canon policy states that Big Finish audios are a valid resource, so we CAN'T just ignore this. For one thing, that picture is actually of Richard III.--The Traveller 10:52, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Troilus and Cressida
When I encountered it, article said:
 * ... and another, Troilus and Cressida would, unknown to Shakespeare, be actually based upon the later life of the First Doctor's companion, Vicki, who adopted the identity of Cressida. (DW: The Myth Makers)

Thing is, I'm not sure we have a reference to that play in the DWU. If there's no reference to the play, then we can't assume it exists in the DWU, and therefore the link back to Vicki can't be made. We need to positively identify the play first, then make the link. In any case, this isn't the sort of thing that should be in the lead, because it's not talking about the person himself. 17:08:19 Sun 12 Jun 2011
