Talk:Inferno (Doctor Who)

KTEH broadcasts
Is this really notable? I suppose it features prominently in the memories of people who watched Doctor Who in California in the '80s, but is that a large enough sector of the public for it to merit mention in Wikipedia? —Josiah Rowe 23:47, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I like it. I think's it just as interesting an anecdote as the thing about the transmission hacker on Horror of Fang Rock. Besides, while there's a blustering amount of BBC broadcast information available (and most of it has been transfered here), there's strikingly little on the PBS broadcasts, so we should have as much as possible :).--Sean Jelly Baby? 00:46, 15 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. —Josiah Rowe 00:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Plot
The plot is waaaay too long. I thought the synopsis would be a good replacement, but it reads as advertising copy and that itself is frowned upon. Lots42 (talk) 20:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Mirror, Mirror (Star Trek)
Is it worth mentioning the numerous similarities between this episode and Mirror, Mirror (Star Trek)? 151.197.226.214 (talk) 20:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It is certainly citable, via Paul Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping's book, Doctor Who: The Discontinuity Guide. --Ted Watson (talk) 20:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

The credits sequence
The title sequence showing the credits being displayed over stock footage of lava flows, harks back to the black and white era. Of the Troughton Era series I have seen both The Seeds of Death and The War Games use custom opening title sequences. The same is true for the Hartnell Era serial The War Machines.Graham1973 (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Primords
It should probably be made clearer in the article that, although it is being used in the story synopsis as if it’s a given, the creatures are never called “Primords” during the story - that name doesn’t occur “in-universe”, but can be found in production documentation, and in the end credits (I think - I don’t have a copy of the story to hand to check the latter). It is later retconned into the continuity of the Big Finish spin-off audios, by having a character derive the name from the word “primordial”. Jock123A (talk) 16:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
