Talk:Genesis of the Daleks

Costume/Continuity Error
There is a significant costuming error between this story and the last, which makes the continuity of the programme problematic. I've tried to add this to the article, but it keeps being deleted as "fancruft", (whatever that means). Before I am banned from editing, I think it worth noting here that this is a big continuity error and worthy of inclusion. The main characters travel in this story by T-Mat Beam and not in the TARDIS. They have no access to any wardrobe or change of clothes. In between demateralising at the end of the last story and re-appearing at the start of this one, Sarah Jane has undergone a costume change. It's clearly simply a production error, but it could also lead rise to speculation that another unseen story took place between the two adventures. For this alone, it is worth noting. 71.146.16.112 (talk) 18:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Trivia like this is non notable and his considered unencyclopedic per long standing consensus here at Wikipedia. This is a television show made under time and money constraints and continuity errors happen all of the time. That does not make them notable. See WP:TRIVIA, WP:OR and WP:NOTABILITY among many others for why your edits are being removed. Since these are obviously important to you I can only suggest that you would be happier putting these items in a blog or the Dr Who Wikia where there is more room for this kind of trivia.

But trivia such as "There is no mention of Kamelion's absence from this story" is OK, as on The Five Doctors page. Or pointing out that a floor in that episode is a little bit similar to one in a previous story is OK. I think you need to redefine your definition of fancruft and apply your edits consistently. 71.146.16.112 (talk) 19:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I know this is old, but if you watch the story - Sarah finds the clothes she wears in Revenge in a cupboard and spends the last episode of Genesis wearing them - so no error at all!Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:40, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Except that Genesis occurs 'before' Revenge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhorman (talk • contribs) 20:35, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The clothes she wears in Revenge was found in a cupboard in Genesis. DonQuixote (talk) 00:35, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Wow!!
Just getting into Dr. Who, and, wow... GOTD rocks. It's like Stanley Kubrick stole the Tardis, traveled to the studio, and slapped the costume and set designers over the head with a wet fish. Two thumbs up!! !!!! 24.51.217.118 (talk) 05:04, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * While many might agree with you regarding the quality of the serial, neither this talk page in particular, or Wikipedia in general, are a forum for the expression of such views. The Internet provides many sites for just that purpose; this isn't one of them. Please try to keep your talk page contributions focussed on improving the articles to which they relate, rather than general comments. Thanks, Bowdenford (talk) 08:51, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
