Hold the phone a minute. I've watched the DVD, the notes and the commentaries, and all of the documentaries on the second disc, and neither heard nor saw ANY Hitchhiker's references in THIS Doctor Who story (though The Pirate Planet had several). Anyone have proof? -- JohnDBuell 04:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
What happened to Part 3's cliffhanger (Kerensky's death)? -- Jawr256 09:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I've heard it mentioned that the real-life relationship between Tom Baker and Lalla Ward (which led to their brief marriage after both left the series) originated during production of this serial. Can anyone provide a source for this, as it would be interesting to note in the article. 23skidoo 20:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
They seemed to put some emphasis on the fact that "THIS iS A FAKE" was written in felt-tip, especially at the end, it seemed to me. Is there something special about felt-tipped pens, that they are modern of they show up on x-rays or something? -- Howdybob 10:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Answer- It's not so much that the pen used is felt tipped, as it would be the ink used in the pen. The chemical composition of modern inks is very different from those used in the 16th Century.
Is the reference to the Star Trek episode really relevant? Lots of stories resemble lots of other stories. Lots42 ( talk) 13:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree with the tagline. These plot synopses are way too long. Who's going to read all of that? Surely it would be better just as a single paragraph? According to Wikipedia:Plot summaries, the plot summary should be between 200 and 500 words - this one is over 2000! -- Tuzapicabit ( talk) 11:44, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps someone who does see the joke could put me out of my misery? — Tamfang ( talk) 03:53, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Is anyone planning on nominating this for DYK in time for the 50th anniversary? Ruby 2010/ 2013 15:16, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
