Talk:Peter Butterworth

Not "the first recurring Doctor Who Villain"....
The article header claimed Mr Butterworth as The Time Meddler was "noted as being the first recurring Doctor Who villain."

Surely the first recurring villain was/is the Daleks ?

The first appearance of the Daleks was in the second Dr Who story - "The Daleks" - with a reappearance in the tenth story - "The Dalek Invasion Of Earth"

By contrast, Mr Butterworth didn't appear as the Time Meddler until the 17th story - "The Time Meddler".

I've been bold and... erm... exterminated the claim.

Place of birth.
In the infobox, PB's place of birth is given as Bramhall, Cheshire. In the main body of the text, it is given as Ulverston. The latter place of birth is based of the information on his German P.o.W. i.d. card, which has been misunderstood by a Wikipedia "editor." It reads Name und Anschrift der zu benachrichtigenden Person in der Heimat des Kriegsgefangenen which translates as "Name and address of the person to be notified in the home country of the prisoner of war." That is Mrs. W.S. Butterworth of 29 Princes Street, Ulverston. One assumes that to be his mother.

At top left, the card states his name (Name), forename (Vorname), and date and place of birth (Geburtstag und-ort). The last two are given as 4.2.15 Bramhill(sic)/Chesh. Obviously, that would be information provided by Butterworth himself. Hengistmate (talk) 14:08, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
