replies: text: No, this was a 12-parter, produced under one production code. The only adjunct was Mission to the Unknown, which was a one-episode prologue to this (with The Myth Makers transmitted in between), but had a separate production code. --khaosworks 04:45, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:DW021-07-telesnap01.jpg

message: At present, the "Continuity" section has a lot of information that is not immediately useful to understanding the episode. Particularly so the following;
*It is left unclear whether "spar" refers to the classification of Chen's ship, the manufacturer, or something else entirely. The Television Companion capitilises the word, suggesting a make or model. This interpretation is reinforced by a line of dialogue from Episode One referring to a type of spacecraft called a "Spar 740", reminiscent of car models such as the Saab 900 or the Mazda 626. Peel's novelisation, meanwhile, capitalises and italicises the word, as well as referring to it as "a Spar". Notes included with the CD release indicate that it was meant to be a contraction of "SPace cAR," and was a suggestion of script editor Donald Tosh.
But also, the list of "firsts" in Doctor Who, or brief similarities between small plot points in this story and others later on.
Is there anyway to trim it and please everyone? Alastairward (talk) 22:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

message: What's being referred to as a "telerecording" in the cited BBC PasB is the studio taping of the episode in question (3rd December 1965).  The word "telerecording" was used at the time to mean any pre-recording of a television programme to either tape or film.   It does not mean a film recording (i.e a video to film transfer) was made on this date.  Somebody has got the wrong end of the stick. Wonder why Wikipedia has a bad name?

replies: text: Telerecording is not the original recording to videotape, it is the copying of a finished programme from videotape to film. See Telerecording. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the modern usage of the term. On the document in question the "Telerecorded" date is the date the episode was made in the studio and it's followed a videotape number. That was the recording to tape. Timrollpickering (talk) 01:19, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
