[edit] The Time on the Master's Tardis
I have a question for khaosworks, 23skidoo, Josiah Rowe and any other of the wikipedians who take such good care of these Dr Who pages. Note #7 about the time on the clock on the Master's Tardis brings up a couple of questions.
- Is this sourced to any of the production team who worked on this story? I am not saying that it isn't possible that this was done on purpose, but
- This is not a digital clock - how do we know that the time isn't 11:55 or 11:54 etc. and how do we know it isn't a.m. rather than p.m.?
- Did the clock have the same time on it when last we saw it at the end of The Deadly Assassin? I know that it is a totally different clock from the one filmed in that episode but I am just curious.
The Keeper Of Traken was actually the first full story of the show that I remember seeing back in 1982 so it has a special place in my affections. I have studied and read numerous books and articles about Dr Who over the years, although not as much as some of you I am sure, and I hadn't encountered this observation before. If it is sourced material I would like to know where it came from so that I might be able to add the book or magazine interview to my collection. Also, I am not against fan speculation. That is one of the joys of being a Dr Who fan as there is so much to speculate about. But, if this is a fandom note I feel that it should be described as such. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help with this.User:MarnetteD | Talk 22:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- When I originally added the note, I put the word "supposedly" because I couldn't find a source showing production team intent. I've reworded the note to indicate that it's a fan interpretation - although I'll continue to look for a source for intent because I'm pretty sure it was done on purpose. —Whouk (talk) 15:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
