Lost episode? edit

The article claims:

The story was adapted for the 1968 BBC series with Peter Cushing. The episode is now lost.

How can this be? This particular episode was shown on PBS just a few years ago (about 2008). Bill Jefferys (talk) 18:40, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

My apologies. That's the 1986 series that was shown recently, not the 1968 series. I'm not dislexic, but my eyes played tricks on me. Bill Jefferys (talk) 18:46, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ironic foretelling of World War I edit

  • Ironically in 1914 [ten years after the story was published] World War I did break out..due to part to Wilhelms hasty actions [among others]...it did indeed bring about the beginning of the end of the British Empire..a hundred thousand lives...and expedidure of a hundred million pounds just as the Prime Minister had feared...would happen! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.5.89.217 (talk) 15:32, 13 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
I'm afraid I've had to revert your addition, interesting though it is. If you can find a reliable source making that connection, we can include it. EEng 23:39, 13 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
