Quick question for knowledgeable #DoctorWho fans. Where does the term "Land of Fiction" come from? It isn't in the script of the #MindRobber (http://chakoteya.net/DoctorWho/6-2.htm) or in the text of the novelization (although it is on the back cover blurb).

@DWUDatabase Interesting. Is it something that was on production documents or in the Radio Times listings maybe? I wonder that the Pixley archive says about this.

@deltaandthebannermen Someone on Twitter sent me these. Appears in the Radio Times listing and then in the RT 10th Anniversary special

Got to wonder how much of what we view as established cannon came from stuff like this

Someone just described it to me as the DW Mandela Effect, they can definitely remember it being in the episode (but accept the transcripts show it isn't)

@RassilonianLegate @DWUDatabase Of course, the thing to remember is that there is no established canon - not one iota of Doctor Who has ever been canonised (except, bizarrely the Adventure Games released on the BBC website back in the day). Everything else is a mixture of script, production notes, Radio Times listings, DWM, fan misunderstandings and fan assertions, interviews and research. The console room, for example, was never referred to as such until the 80s.

@deltaandthebannermen @RassilonianLegate Yeah I'm sure the time rotor was a dial on the console and at some point became another name for the central column

@DWUDatabase Land on the back cover seems to be a simplification of what the Doctor described the place as in episode 3.

"This world that we've tumbled into is a world of fiction. Unicorns, minotaur, Gulliver's travels, they're all alive here."

@Metebelis2 Turns out that the first use was in the radio times summaries of episode 4 and 5
