Remembrance of the Daleks

[edit]

While the novelisation is questionable in canon terms, at least one interesting reference did make it out into the final program. When the Doctor is discussing the Hand of Omega with Ace, he mutters "...and didn't we have trouble with the prototype." I suspect this comes down to whether you believe he's saying "we" in terms of his race and its history, or whether he's speaking from personal experience.

IIRC, Ace questions his use of "we", and he corrects it to "they". Which does suggest he's trying to cover something up. Daibhid C (talk) 15:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Susan Foreman

[edit]

Where's all this Susan stuff coming from? So she's the Other's grand-daughter? I've never heard about this before in my life. Where's this coming from, guys? W.G.Dude (talk) 07:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC) A novel. It's not canon, just what's in a novel. SCIAG (talk) 07:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a new Cousin

[edit]

No mention of 'Cousin' elsewhere in the article, no way for a reader to understand this. Dougweller (talk) 08:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this, Otherstide and perhaps more comes from a Doctor Who Virgin Adventures novel.[1] Dougweller (talk) 08:06, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Human Nature children's book

[edit]

The way the Human Nature segment is worded sounds like a fairy tale-y story Smith wrote regarding the post-Unearthly Child Doctor himself (and his running away from the Time Lords) rather than anything literal. Is any further context given anywhere for the book than what's explained on this article, especially concerning the Other? TardisTybort (talk) 17:19, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Timeless Child?

[edit]

Is it notable that the Timeless Child arc is very close to being a version of this arc for TV? --StrexcorpEmployee (talk) 20:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You would need to cite a reliable source that discusses that. DonQuixote (talk) 20:24, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
