Possible WP:OR

The mention of Robert Wise's film of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting needs a source that the production team was referring to it on purpose. The mentions could be a coincedence. In particular the "Help Me" wording has occurred many time over the years - The original version of The Fly and The Exorcist to name but two. If they did do this on purpose than please add a ref. If not then the item should be removed. Thanks for you time in looking into this. MarnetteD | Talk 01:35, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural References.

A line in the Cultural References section for this article mentions Jon Pertwee’s role in the Navy, during the war.

Could this ALSO have been a reference to Dougray Scott’s appearance in Enigma (2001 film), the film about the Bletchley Park code breakers, that Scott appeared in … ? Their part in protecting those convoys is highlighted in the film. Cuddy2977 (talk) 12:50, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There was a reference to Nigel Kneale's "The Stone Tape", which the episode draws a lot from, too. The stuff about soldiers leaving tins of spam and letters for the ghost is all taken straight from that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.30.124.180 (talk) 12:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted that because it's nothing direct...The Stone Tape is mentioned as an influence in "Production". Glimmer721 ^talk 18:04, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the Jon Pertwee reference, Glimmer … ? Cuddy2977 (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Metebelis

It's not clear that the 11th doctor "mispronounced" Metebelis. He could have just pronounced it differently or the natives of the planet could have changed the way they pronounced it (like Englaland changed to England). Wouldn't saying 11 and 3 pronounced it differently be more accurate? NameetSurana (talk) 10:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and have done it, mainly on the principle that "mispronounced" is an opinion. Saying he pronounced it differently is a statement of fact. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 10:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
