Talk:Doctor Who (Classic Series)

I only have The Seeds of Doom and City of Death on DVD, but I figured that for now I should contribute what I could. - Kooshmeister

I've made a few updates, but for now the only source I have for images of the Sterling is a streamed review of the serials in question. If anyone's got the DVDs for the episodes I cited, could they get some screencaps? The Wierd It 08:28, 14 December 2011 (CST)

M1911

I think that this is not a M1911, it is a SIG P210.--Flavio 06:19, 14 December 2011 (CST)

Thanks! Kooshmeister

I noticed that too, without seeing above comment. Took the liberty to correct this and also reset all imagesizes; 400px for gunpics and 600px for screenshots as per IMFDB standards. Thanks for the page, --PeeWee055 06:58, 14 December 2011 (CST)

Rename proposal

I'm proposing this be renamed "Doctor Who (Classic Series)" and have the generic page put up as a disambig between this one and Doctor Who (New Series). Thoughts? The Wierd It 13:06, 14 December 2011 (CST)

Works for me. - Kooshmeister

All those P38's in City of Death

Anyone else find it strange that except for the Countess' little revolver, all the guns in City of Death are P38's? The DVD audio commentary offers no explanation for why every single time a character uses a pistol, good or evil, it's always a P38. Why is this? My only theory is that this was all the show's armorer could get on such short notice, given the series' tight shooting schedules, but it still seems a bit weird. - Kooshmeister

The P38 seems to be a popular pistol in Doctor Who especially for villains. It turns up in "The Invasion" and "The Daemons" as well. - Drawward

Firearms in Multiple Serials

What about firearms that turn up in multiple serials? As a doctor who completest I would want to see screen caps of each instance a firearm appears in Doctor Who however would this contravene the image rules? I do see some firearm entries getting rather long with all the stories they are featured in. For example I've just screen capped the 1968 Patrick Troughton (2nd Doctor) Story “The Invasion.” The P38, M1911 and the L1A1 SLR turn up in this story. Also three serials come to mind featuring the Steyr AUG alone. At the very least I suggest a table below each weapon detailing which serials the weapon has appeared in and used buy whom. Any thoughts? - Drawward

If the screencaps are clear I say throw 'em up there. Kooshmeister (talk) 09:58, 15 May 2013 (EDT)

Not a G 43

The rifle identified as a Gewehr 43 is clearly an SKS. - Phillb36 (talk) 23:15, 14 May 2013 (EDT)

Having said that, you didn't change it yourself because...? I mean, I know I was incorrect, but having noticed the inaccuracy of my guess, I'm just left wondering why you didn't correct it yourself. Kooshmeister (talk) 09:57, 15 May 2013 (EDT)

Many times I will correct the page and then leave a message in the talk section as to the change I have made. I didn't do this last night as it was late and I was tired. I know it would have only taken a few minutes to update the page but really I just wanted to go to sleep. If I wasn't going to make the correction I at least wanted to let you know of the mistake. - Phillb36 (talk) 10:58, 15 May 2013 (EDT)

Ah, well, my thanks, my friend. I tend to be a bit iffy about ID'ing guns. Kooshmeister (talk) 16:03, 16 May 2013 (EDT)

3032 Tomcats actually Jetfires or other?

The page currently lists the Beretta 3032 Tomcat as appearing in Inferno (1970), but wikipedia lists the 3032 Tomcat as having starter production in 1996, obviously wikipedia isn't the most reliable source but is it likely the guns were actually misidentified Jetfires? I'm only on season 2 so far so it will be a few months before I watch Inferno and maybe will know more then, but I was just wondering if anyone knew if Tomcats were produced before 96.
