Talk:The Mind Robber

message: My apologies if this seems a nitpick to most Dr Who/wiki members. I just thought that if someone was new to Dr Who and had come to wikipedia to find out more about this story that this fact was worth mentioning. When I first saw this story in the 1980's I thought that I must be seeing a heavily edited version since it was so much shorter that any other five parters (few as they were). Also apologies for not making the entry under my user name (I don't know how I got bumped out) but here it is for any who might want to comment.User:MarnetteD | Talk 23:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Episode running times 

message: At one point during this episode, the doctor meets an englishman who first speaks to him in latin and all sorts of other languages, and the doctor asks him if he speaks english. This contradicts later claims that the TARDIS translates everything. Of course, an explanation for that might be that they were outside reality itself. Anyway, might be worth mentioning in the "continuity" section. --Mithcoriel (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

message: "removed reference as it has nothing to do with the SJS episode...".
Really?  I was pointing out that The Doctor doesn't know everything, which he sometimes thinks he does.  The Gorgons were/are real, yet The Doctor doesn't know/believe this.  Why can that not be pointed out? [User: Stripey].  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.5.231 (talk) 09:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a TV show not reality. The creators of the SJS episode were not referencing this story at all. Your posts would go well on a blog or a fan page, but not an encyclopedia.MarnetteD | Talk 14:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Gorgon

message: The nature of their entry into this realm was quite avant-garde and does deserve mention here, not to mention the fact that it includes one of the hottest scenes ever performed by a Doctor Who babe, with Zoe draped across the console in that catsuit in a very suggestive pose.

thread_title:  Why no mention of the end of Part 1 

message: The makers of the Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas are big fans of Doctor Who and they know the history of Doctor Who well.
Therefore there was nothing coincidental when they cast Bernard Horsfall and Wendy Padbury together in Davros providing them with a reunion from their experience working on The Mind Robber. Hence why this reunion is relevant in being mentioned in this article.

replies: text: And you have reliable sourcing for this assertion from where? As it stand this is WP:OR/trainspotting and does not belong in the article. WP:INDISCRIMINATE applies as well. MarnetteD|Talk 20:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

text: That has no bearing on the situation, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 23:36, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Without a statement that it was deliberate, it is coincidental. And if coincidental, is it notable? But what is needed is a source to note that it is deliberate. I find the interviews with the production team and actors included in the Big Finish dramas generally cover such things. GraemeLeggett (talk) 15:40, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

message: can someone edit it so that it is clear that the Master mentioned in this article is not *THE* master?

replies: text: A) You will have to provide proof of the "several" that have come to this page wondering about this. B) You seem to have missed that this is explained in the lede. C) The master in this story has nothing to do with schoolteachers. MarnetteD|Talk 23:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I for one was confused then I read the synapsis of this episode in an early edition of Doctor WHo: The Episode Guide as the only "Master" I knew of was the Time Lord of that name.--2606:A000:131D:6018:885D:3300:232B:DBC1 (talk) 19:21, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
