Diane

Nadia Albina reprises her role as Diane, briefly, in the episode but is uncredited for it. Does that mean we can't include it in the infobox and if we can, does it need a note to say it was uncredited? Panda815 (talk) 07:12, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would have no issue including her at the end of the list, much like how uncredited cast have been included at "The Unicorn and the Wasp", "Vincent and the Doctor", or "The Day of the Doctor", to name a few episodes. -- Alex_21_TALK 07:16, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She’d still go in the cast list in the prose for sure CreecregofLife (talk) 07:17, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add it for now. Feel free to RV if this is contested in any way. Panda815 (talk) 08:10, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lowest ratings

I know it’s not pretty and I’m not trying to be mean, but this is the lowest rated episode in the revival series, shouldn’t it be mentioned? (204.126.3.183 (talk) 04:35, 21 April 2022 (UTC))[reply]

Certainly, if you have a source that explicitly states so. -- Alex_21_TALK 04:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone please edit the obvious advertising attempt that's biasing the "critical recpetion"

"...On Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website, 50% of seven critics gave "Legend of the Sea Devils" a positive review"

This is just embarrassing. That is a bad review, but skimming this section only has positive words. This is clearly, or identical to, an attempt by someone paid to make the series look good. CrickedBack (talk) 07:10, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
