Should these have a breif description added to the main page {Ucebaggie (talk) 17:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)}[reply]

"Featuring the Doctor and Donna."

why would Donna be in this story? ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ (talk) 13:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. I've removed this book from the list of stories featuring Donna. Digifiend (talk) 12:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Martha could meet her during the year that never was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.181.192 (talk) 19:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If Martha met Donna during the year that never was, surely Martha would remember this when she meets Donna in the Sontaran Stratagem.Sama4 (talk) 12:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

but the book might not be canon ♥Fighting for charming Love♥ (talk) 15:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The books usually work hard to suggest they could be canon, though, and I'd have thought that'd go double for one specifically set during a certain point in the series. Of course, Martha may simply have given up telling people she's met them but they don't remember it, but until we get more details, it's all speculation.

The Story of Martha Jones?

In DWM 399, there's a picture of this book but it has Martha's surname on the cover...Are there two versions of the book, or was there a name change? Could someone double check this for me please? Sama4 (talk) 13:53, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions

Do we have any contributions from people who have actually read the story, or betters still worked on it?

Citation needed for audiobook claim

This article is the only online source I've been able to find to support that the CD audiobook contains only the framing narrative. At 2 CDs that seems an awful lot of space for a framing story, and having the components of the book removed doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I've been unable to obtain a copy of this CD myself for verification, and the Amazon and TARDIS Wikia listings make no mention of this. We need another source. 68.146.64.9 (talk) 18:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

The trivia section seems potentially unnecessary per WP:TRIV. Fortunately I think the information can be incorporated into the body of previous sections. I made a few copy edits but think I will leave it to someone who knows the story better to decide whether the trivia should be incorporated elsewhere, and in which ways it might be best incorporated.
