Could the ATMOS constantly saying "turn left" have something to do with the upcoming episode with that name? I'm just noting it here incase it is! -Trampikey( talk)( contribs) 19:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
DO you think the Re-use of the Cyber-Conversion Frame and Mind probe props from Torchwood deserves a mention? 82.22.144.78 ( talk) 21:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Could someone with a better memory and/or the DVD confirm my vague recollection that the bit about the female thorax is from " The Sontaran Experiment"? Daibhid C ( talk) 23:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Whilst allowing Donna to use the TARDIS console controls, the Doctor refers to "making a dent" in the 80s, a reference to the manner in which the Doctor Who series was put in hiatus during that time. - i am pretty sure that the statement refers to the season 1 of revied dr who episode fathers day and not the show being on a hiatus. Pathfinder2006 ( talk) 14:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Since this thread seems to be veering off into a general discussion rather than a conversation about how to improve the article, could I remind people of our policy on this? Cheers! [youth-leader hat off] — TreasuryTag— t— c 20:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't see any resposne with more specificity. In particular, what about points 4 and 6 make them OR. I'll leave the tag up for a while to give you a further chance to respond.-- Dr who1975 ( talk) 13:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
I think there should be a reference to The Last Sontaran, since it continues the storyline. -- Kaleb.G ( talk) 04:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
The Colonel, though clearly portrayed as a member of the British armed forces, salutes whilst not wearing head-dress both the Doctor and Donna, something a British army officer would never do. More than this, he salutes the Doctor -- whom he says he is honoured to meet -- whilst the Doctor is not wearing a hat, which a British soldier wouldn't do because it puts the other in the uncomfortable position of not being able to return the salute. Probably just an oversight in the production, but it could signify all is not as it seems with this incarnation of UNIT. -- Coconino ( talk) 19:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
First, is this the first episode in which the Sontarans' home world is identified by the name Sontar? (It may sound obvious, but the Daleks don't hail from the planet Dalek, after all). Second question: is it worth noting that this is the third time this season that an element of The Two Doctors has been referenceds? Time Crash (which isn't officially part of Series 4 but will be on the Series 4 DVD) is the first multi-Doctor story since T2D, Fires of Pompeii was filmed outside the UK, the first regular series episode to be so produced since T2D was filmed in Spain (the 1996 movie was a movie, not a regular episode so it doesn't count), and now we have the Sontarans making their first regular series episode since T2D. Interesting coincidences. 23skidoo ( talk) 00:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Is anyone able to a section of this episode's reception? Pathfinder2006 ( talk) 21:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
It's in the article. Type 40 ( talk) 15:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
A possible reference to The Navy Lark, where Sub Lt. Phillips is always giving CPO Pertwee the navigational order "left hand down a bit". 68.103.9.71 ( talk) 12:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Gabriel, I'll be glad to take this review. Sorry you've had to wait so long for one. I hope to post comments on this in the next day or two... Mrs. Khazar and I have just reached this point in the series, so once we've watched it, I'll be reviewing. Thanks in advance for your work on it, Khazar2 ( talk) 20:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for waiting that extra bit. Mrs. Khazar gives both episodes 5 out of 5 stars, and I'm ready to do this review. On first pass, I only have a few minor concerns that I couldn't immediately fix. Overall, this looks strong; thanks again for your work on it. And let me know your thoughts on two minor points:
