Talk:Episode 1663 (22nd December 1976)

Vera's "divorce"
I have to take issue with the change made to the note on this episode. The rationale for changing it was "just because Fred said Vera was divorced doesn't mean she was. People get things wrong, get told lies, make things up, etc". There is a great deal of supposition in that statement. The overall reason for the statement is almost certainly that Vera's back history hadn't been established yet by the writers (it was only her second appearance) and a one-line statement was forgotten by the time that the writer's decided that Jack existed. I think in changing the meaning of the note which previously highlighted a continuity error, to one that supposes that the line could be right and an unstated rationale by the characters lies behind it, is wrong.--Jtomlin1uk 16:08, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
