Talk: Dave Oswald

Clara's father introduces himself to the Doctor as Bryan Robson at about 2 minutes 20 seconds into the episode. The name Dave Oswald may be in error.

No he doesn't, he says Clara wants to be Bryan Robson, who is a famous English footballer, referring to the Doctor being hit by the football. Geek Mythology ☎ 09:10, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

What? Where, when?

The main article states "Years later, he spoke to the Eleventh Doctor on the telephone while Clara was sleeping." When was this? --206.177.43.72^{talk to me} 17:43, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

"The Bells of Saint John." The Doctor tells Clara about their conversation (we don't actually see it) when she's watching him from her window. If I recall, this is right before he tells her Angie went to sleep over at Nina's. 66.214.104.71^{talk to me} 18:00, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Yep, the Doctor gives Clara a list of things that happened, who phoned (including her dad), and claimed he reassembled/invented the quadricycle.

Remarried?

Do we know for certain that Dave is married to Linda in Time of the Doctor? It does seem the most likely option, considering how she's giving unwanted advice to Clara, but isn't it at least possible that she was just his girlfriend? —Josiah Rowe ☎ 06:39, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

I've watched the episode a few times and there's nothing to say that Linda is Dave's wife as opposed to fiance, girlfriend, sister, or some other relation entirely. Mewiet ☎ 08:15, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
