Ninth Doctor Bloopers

Rose:
NEW (*) -
In the very first (admittedly impressive!) shot, where we we zoom in from outer space to Rose waking up in London at 7:30am, we can see that it's daylight in North America, even though it would be 2:30am in New York!
NEW (*) -
Rose works in Henrik's department store (their logo is clearly visible early in the episode) but after the explosion, the BBC news report spells it Henrick's with a C.
NEW (*) -
In the same BBC news report, the first caption shows the time as 20:45. Two minutes pass and we see the TV again – and the time is still 20:45!
NEW (?) -
When the Auton's arm gets stuck in the lift door and the Doctor pulls it off, what happens to the Auton's sleeve? There's no sound of the shirt ripping and we don't see the sleeve stuck in the lift door afterwards.
NEW (?) -
The Doctor gives away the Auton arm to Rose, so why does he come looking for it the next day (and seems surprised that she has it)?
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor pulls off the Auton's arm in the lift, it's clearly seen to be a right arm. But behold the magical morphing power of sentient plastic – as Rose carries it home you can see it's now a left arm, only to change back into a right arm once she gets home. When Mickey throws it in the rubbish bin, it's a southpaw, but finally when the arm attacks the Doctor it goes back to being a rightie again.
NEW (?) -
Why does Rose's mum blow-dry her hair when it isn't wet?
NEW (*) -
While Rose is making coffee for the Doctor, she picks up the milk bottle with her right hand, then we cut to the Doctor shuffling the cards, then we cut back and we (very briefly!) see that she's got a teaspoon in her right hand instead. Then it's back to the Doctor trying again to shuffle the cards, finally back to Rose with the milk in her right hand once again.
NEW (*) -
Just why did that bloke put his wheelie bin out for collection when the bin is (practically) empty?
NEW (*) -
While Mickey is trying to escape from the aforementioned bin, he turns around 180 degrees, twisting the strands of plastic attached to his hands. Cut to another angle and the strands are suddenly un-twisted.
NEW (?) -
The Doctor shakes the champagne bottle, but manages not to spill a drop when he pops the cork!
NEW (?) -
When Rose sets off the fire alarm in the restaurant, the glass cover doesn't break.
NEW (*) -
When Rose first enters the TARDIS, the camera pans around the console room and we see only one hand rail beside the door (which wobbles like mad when she grabs it). Then as she exits the TARDIS for the first time there are suddenly two hand rails, one either side of the 'gangplank'.
NEW (?) -
As the Doc & Rose run hand-in-hand across Westminster Bridge, two London buses pass by on their right. Cut to another shot, looking at them from across the road, and the buses have disappeared! Followed by a cut back to the original angle and (yup) the buses are there again.
NEW (?) -
Look for a microphone in shot above the Doctor's head, just after the Nestene Consciousness identifies the TARDIS.
NEW (*) -
When the three 'bride' Autons are bearing down on Jackie, we see their hands "fall off" one by one, but look closely as the second one falls off, and you can see that the third one is already off.
NEW (?) -
Rose's hair defies continuity just before she does her gymnastics routine – shielding Mickey and looking down at the Doctor, her hair is a mess, then it's pushed back, then it's a mess...
NEW (*) -
In the aftermath of the Auton attack, the police cars pull up in their usual "arriving too late to be of any help" thing. But earlier on (while Jackie phoned Rose) we clearly see that there's a police station right across the road from the shopping centre!

The End Of The World:
NEW (?) -
After the Doctor fiddles with Rose's mobile phone, he doesn't put the cover on the back before handing it to her, yet it's suddenly there when she phones her mum.
NEW (?) -
When Rose actually phones Jackie, look carefully at the phone's screen. You can see the words 'Contact Name' at the top of the screen, a flashing cursor, and the 'OK' and 'Clear' commands at the bottom of the screen... all of which makes it a dead giveaway that this contact is being created in the phone's memory, not actually being called.
NEW (?) -
At the beginning, when the Doctor and Rose are looking at Earth from the Station while Rose is talking on her mobile, you see them from the outside looking in, and the Doctor has his hands in his pockets. When you see them from behind, the Doctor has his hands behind his back instead, then back to the front view and they're instantly back in his pockets.
NEW (?) -
Also while Rose is phoning her mum, notice that the Doctor has his mouth shut. The camera angle changes and instantly his mouth is open.
NEW (*) -
Why did the 'National Trust' move the continents back to their configuration from Rose's time? Why would this period be considered 'classic' Earth as opposed to any other era out of billions of years of Earth's history?
NEW (?) -
When Rose is walking through the corridors of the station, just before she gets knocked to the ground, her shoes make quite a bit of noise (almost as if she's wearing high heels) – certainly a lot more noise than trainers/sneakers should make!
NEW (?) -
When the exposed sunlight starts making whopping great cracks in the windows, why isn't the air sucked out of the room that Rose is trapped in?
NEW (?) -
When Rose and Cassandra are in conversation, they're shot intermittently from behind, looking out of the Space Station window. In the shots from behind, Cassandra's lips don't appear to move at all, though we still hear her speak.
NEW (?) -
After her chat with Cassandra (the trampoline speech) Rose leaves the observation room with her silver ball in her hand. But she'd already put it down, before the mobile phone speech.
NEW (?) -
At what point did Rose lose the top she was wearing? She had it on for most of the episode but it disappears at some stage. Then at the end, when the Doctor takes her back to present day Earth she's wearing it again. Are we to assume when the Doctor walked her back to the TARDIS, she nipped off to fetch it?
NEW (?) -
The CGI work on the "spider-bots" goes to great lengths to make them seem real (like that lovely moment when the virtual creatures "bump" into the camera) so it's a shame that the illusion is a little spoiled by the spider on the steward's desk not casting a reflection.
NEW (?) -
As the Doctor and Jabe walk along a corridor on their way to sort out the spider problem, you can see them walk through the same section twice: look overhead to spot a distinctive-looking metal frame with wires hanging around it.
NEW (*) -
Why put the system restore switch in such an inaccessible location? Having to dodge giant fans in order to get to such an important control beggars belief.
[So you don't accidentally press it when adjusting the air conditioning?]
NEW (?) -
Little strange that the temperature is hot enough for Jabe to burn to a crisp, while the Doctor isn't even sweating in his leather jacket.
[Granted, he's standing next to a whopping great fan at the time.]
NEW (*) -
Those fans were huge, and spinning very quickly. Surely they would have created a very strong breeze (which is what they were there for!), but the Doctor was standing an inch away from the last fan when it was at full speed, and there didn't seem to be any turbulence whatsoever.
NEW (*) -
Why exactly does Jabe have to sacrifice herself? Why couldn't she or the Doctor jam the lever thingy with its cover, or a shoe, or snap a bit off Jabe's head and wedge it in? Or use the sonic screwdriver to fuse the thing in place? Even if Jabe was so determined to sacrifice herself for the greater good, rather than just lean on the lever, why didn't she sit on it? (Keeping it pressed down even after she burned to a crisp)
NEW (?) -
When Rose is about to be fried by the sun's rays, she runs up and down the stairs to bang on the doors and avoid the rays. While she does, the long shots show most of the doors as being incinerated, but in the close-ups (as she starts banging again) they look fine.
NEW (?) -
How did the Doctor free Rose from the viewing suite she was trapped in? She gets out when he lowers the force field, but are we meant to believe that switch is a melted-door-opener as well?
NEW (?) -
Cassandra's back-up plan seems a little strange. How will she explain her survival without being punished for using a teleportation device?
NEW (?) -
How come when Cassandra bursts into bits, none of it hits the Doctor and Rose? They are quite clearly facing her/him at the time.
NEW (?) -
After Earth blows up and Cassandra dies, there's a scene where Rose and the Doctor stare out of the window at the Sun. Staring at the Sun will blind you pretty quickly (as any fule kno) but Rose and the Doctor were staring for twenty seconds or more without having to break out the guide dogs.
[Rose did the same thing earlier when she nearly got roasted – doesn't she ever learn?]
NEW (?) -
The Doctor is noticeably paler and more unshaven in the final scene on present-day Earth.
[Was it a long and rough journey home?]
NEW (?) -
At the end, it looks like the TARDIS materialises on a busy street in broad daylight without anyone batting an eyelid!

The Unquiet Dead:
NEW (?) -
In the opening TARDIS scenes, as the Doctor and Rose are chatting, the changing camera angles make Rose's hair alternate between being behind her ear, hanging free, behind the ear, hanging free...
NEW (*) -
Dickens looks much younger than he should – in 1869 he was 57, with greying hair and beard, and looking increasingly haggard as he approached the end of his life. Whereas Simon Callow's Dickens looks fine and healthy, with no visible grey in his hair – resembling Dickens as he would have looked in his 40s.
[Ironic, given that Simon Callow was himself grey-haired and in his mid-50s when the episode was filmed!]
NEW (?) -
How did the old woman get into the Dickens show? The poster clearly says "Admission by Ticket" – was she conveniently buried with tickets in her pocket?
NEW (?) -
How does the Doctor buy the newspaper? As he thought he was in Naples, wouldn't he have tried to offer Italian lira to the newspaper-seller, instead of pounds/shillings/pence?
[Maybe he has some slightly-psychic coins to go with his slightly-psychic paper?]
NEW (?) -
Look out for a red postbox in the background at one point – while it's the correct shape (hexagonal) for the time period, it's the wrong colour – all British pillarboxes were green until 1874.
NEW (?) -
If Sneed "didn't plan any of this" what's he doing with a chloroformed rag in his pocket?
NEW (?) -
In the scene where Sneed and Gwyneth are on top of the hearse, the street lamp in the background moves about between shots of Sneed talking.
[Presumably the horses moved about between takes.]
NEW (?) -
Look out for the modern lightswitch in Sneed's house – painted green to avoid detection, but still there all the same.
NEW (?) -
Look out for Redpath's eyes moving when Dickens opens the coffin.
[Maybe he had gas? Ho ho.]
NEW (?) -
In the pantry scene, right after the "big bad wolf" bit, we get a long shot of the pantry, and in the bottom-left of screen you can see the Doctor's jacket in shot – not only is this before he appears, but it's in the wrong place to boot.
NEW (?) -
Why isn't it possible for the Gelth to open the door to get to the Doctor and Rose? The Doctor simply pulled the door closed earlier, and simply pushes it open later.
NEW (?) -
If the Gelth need the gas from decomposition to animate human corpses, surely Sneed couldn't have come back to "life" so quickly after having his neck broken?
NEW (?) -
How does Dickens get back into the house after he slams the front door? There's no-one inside who would open the door for him.
NEW (?) -
Dickens couldn't have taken the "mail coach" back to London – mail coaches were phased out in Britain during the 1840s-50s (in favour of trains), so by 1869 they were ancient history. Besides, we saw from earlier in the episode that Dickens has his own coach – why doesn't he take that?

Aliens of London / World War III:
NEW (?)ep 1 -
As the TARDIS arrives for the first time, look through the bottom opening of the building behind the TARDIS to see a running person suddenly appear out of thin air!
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Rose must be blind not to have spotted all the "missing" posters with her picture hanging on the walls outside her front door. We clearly see them later when the Doctor hands her the TARDIS key – so they were obviously there when she returned home at the start of the episode!
NEW (?)ep 1 -
As the ship passes over London, the "ship's-eye view" shows it flying North-East, from roughly overhead London Bridge towards Tower Bridge with Shad Thames just beyond to the east. We then cut immediately to the ship flying North-West from over Shad Thames towards Tower Bridge, i.e. coming from almost completely the opposite direction.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When the alien craft is about to crash, we see a shot of it flying very low in front of Tower Bridge. The very next shot (from the ship's perspective) puts it much higher, far above any other buildings.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
The missing posters say Rose vanished in March 2005, and this is a year later, so this episode must be set in March 2006. But when the alien ship flies down Whitehall, it passes the Trafalgar Studios theatre showing a poster for Sweeney Todd, which ran there from July to October 2004.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When Big Ben gets smashed, in the effects shots you see only one tail-wing-thingy smashing into the clock. However other shots establish that the spaceship has two wings on each side.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
During the Big Ben close-up, look carefully to spot that the face on the clock and the text beneath it are both backwards – for some reason, the director must have decided to reverse the shot during editing. This also makes it look as if the clock is still running after the crash, since it appears to be 10 o'clock during the crash but later shows 2 o'clock when we see the ruin on BBC News 24 – really though, it was 2 o'clock during the crash and only looked like 10 o'clock because the shot was reversed.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Not to harp on about what is a bloody brilliant effects shot, but there's one final problem with the Big Ben demolition – after the spaceship impacts and the tiles fall off, you can see what appears to be MDF that the clock is made from, and also some of the blobs of glue that were holding the tiles on.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
The BBC reporter tells us that the 'alien' body has been taken to (fictional) Albion Hospital as it's the nearest hospital to the crash site. In reality St. Thomas' Hospital is only a couple of hundred yards away, just beyond Westminster Bridge.
[If there's another hospital nearer to the scene than that, it's no wonder the NHS complains of being under-funded!]
NEW (?)ep 1 -
How did the reporter got from Big Ben to the morgue so quickly? The body was being driven away with the reporter standing in the foreground – then as the body is being taken out of the van at the morgue, the same reporter is already there! How would the BBC crew have time to load all their equipment into a van, drive across (gridlocked) London, and get to the morgue and set up... all before the van (which would have had a police escort) could arrive?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
The TARDIS does that "wind blowing" effect (as well as its usual wheezing and groaning) when it arrives or departs. So how did a small room of soldiers not notice when it arrived in an even smaller room next to them?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Also, when the TARDIS appears in the hospital, notice that the "BAD WOLF" graffiti is clearly missing from the side panels. Also, look closer and you'll see that the right hand side of the "Police Public Call Box" sign over the door is missing.
[Chameleon circuit acting up again?]
NEW (?)ep 1 -
The Slitheen seem to be using common-or-garden zips to hold their skin-suits shut, so how exactly did they cobble the general's skin together so quickly? Shouldn't there be a scene where they break out the sewing kit?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
As the Doctor, Rose and Mickey leave the TARDIS (before heading to No 10) and are surrounded by the military, as Mickey steps out and closes the door, it looks as if the "Police Telephone" notice on the door comes unstuck and slips downwards.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When Rose and the Doctor arrive at Number 10, we see a quick montage of four photographers snapping. For whatever reason, the shot of the fourth one has been flipped mirror-image – notice the Nikon logo on the camera is backwards.
[This director loves his backwards shots, eh?]
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When the door to No. 10 opens as the Doctor and Rose arrive, you can clearly see a lighting rig (or possibly a reflector) on the stairs.
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
Why does the policeman's head have a visible zip on it, but none of the other Slitheen's heads do? Also, the zip disappears from the policeman's head by the time he shows up again in episode 2.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When the Slitheen are revealing themselves to the Doctor and the room full of experts, it seems they have the ability to dim the room's lights while emitting their blue glow – then the lights in the room then fade back up once they're fully revealed.
[Perhaps they've got someone whose job it is to stand by the light switch and dim the lights on all their invasions?]
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
The doors on the conference room close at very different speeds at different times: When the Slitheen realise that the Doctor has tricked them with the alcohol nonsense, the Doctor presses a button which causes the huge metal doors to slam shut, instantly blocking every window and doorway. However, when the Doctor and the others are talking to the Slitheen later, the doors seem to close at a much slower speed.
[Perhaps they "know" to close faster when there's a load of aliens charging the door!]
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
During the various Slitheen electrocution scenes (in Jackie's kitchen, in the Cabinet room, etc.) we see large Slitheen shadows thrown onto the walls. But since the source of the illumination is meant to be the aliens themselves, how could they cast a shadow?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
At one point when the Doc gets the sonic screwdriver out, something detaches from it (or possibly comes out of his pocket) and falls to the floor.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When Mickey snaps the picture of the Slitheen, the resulting image on his phone shows the Slitheen looking towards the phone – but it was actually sideways-on when the picture was taken.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
After General Asquith and Mr. Acting-Prime-Minister tell the guards to shoot the Doctor on sight and go into the lift, you can see a boom mike reflected in the head guard's goggles.
[Or else 10 Downing Street has some very odd-looking hall lamps.]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
So the Doctor has studied huge lists of what types of life-form lives on which planet, right down to how they name themselves, but he hasn't bothered to look at any pictures of them?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
How does Rose know what the Slitheen's farts smell like? None of them fart when she's around.
[They may be psychotic warmongering aliens, but at least they know how to behave in front of a lady.]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
In the wide panoramic shot of London just before the BBC News 24 reporter appears, you can see that Big Ben has been miraculously repaired.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When the Doctor drags the body of Indra Ganesh into the Cabinet Rooms cupboard, the Prime Minister's body is sprawled partly face down. When he exits a mere second later, we can see the PM's body propped up in a half-sitting position.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Later on, the Doctor et al take refuge in the same cupboard, but the bodies of the Prime Minister and Indra Ganesh have completely vanished!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
In some scenes where you can see the feet of the Slitheen, you can also see the shoes of the people wearing the costumes.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Why does the Slitheen policeman visit Jackie Tyler to kill her in the first place, and then go out of its way to pursue her to Mickey's flat? She was hardly going to jeopardise the U.N. handing the missile codes over, was she?
[Not that any of us would need an excuse to kill Jackie.]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Rose says that the vinegar is "in the cupboard by the sink, middle shelf". The cupboard Jackie gets it from only has two shelves.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When Jackie and Mickey "explode" the Slitheen, both end up covered in alien goo. Towards the end of the episode, when she sees the missile, Jackie is completely clean. How did she find time for a shower and change?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
If the Slitheen family's plan was to flog the Earth as radioactive spaceship fuel, then why bother with their elaborate plan? Why not simply nuke the planet from space? If they have the technology to manufacture spaceships, augment pigs, and impersonate lardy humans, then surely a few nukes aren't any bother for them? Furthermore, why on Earth (pun intended) would they pick an inhabited planet, with all the extra hassle that entails? Why not nuke one of the millions of lifeless rock-planets in the universe?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
How come UNIT's Web site had picked up the Slitheen's 'advert' but no one had done anything about it?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
How is it the nation's missiles can be controlled from one easily hacked Web site?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Presumably the family Slitheen would have needed to scarper back to their ship to avoid nuclear fallout – they're hardly going to instigate a full-scale nuclear attack with nowhere to escape to, right? So why didn't the Doctor have Mickey target their ship instead of 10 Downing Street?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Since the Doctor was locked in a room, how did he know that a) all the Slitheen were gathered in Number 10, and b) that all the humans would evacuate in time? Or did he just not really care if they died? And while we're at it, since when does the Doctor resort to using a missile to solve his problems?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When Mickey is hacking, it's painfully clear that the Royal Navy website author can't spell "override".
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When Mickey launched the missile, he didn't actually give the missile a target, it just automatically headed for Number 10! Are the Navy in the habit of targetting missile strikes at the Prime Minister?
[They must all be Tories.]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
And how does Mickey miraculously neutralise all the intercepting firepower (presumably including scrambled fighter pilots, etc.) without any help from the Doctor, by typing madly on the keyboard while the map is still displayed on his monitor? Not only can't he see what he's typing, but he isn't typing it into any window or field on screen!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The Navy used the wrong type of missile to destroy Number 10: the Harpoon is primarily an anti-ship missile. Although it can be used against land-based targets, it can't dodge buildings as shown on screen, and has a range of only 60 nautical miles – judging from the map, London looked further away than that when it was launched. The Tomahawk (a cruise missile) would have been a more appropriate choice.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Right before the missile hits, we clearly see that it's daytime. Yet, when the trooper sounds the fire alarm, and the troops run outside just before the missile hits, it looks as though it could be the middle of the night.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Before the missile explosion, the door to Number 10 is wide open when the policeman tells everyone to run, but when we see the actual explosion, the door has closed itself.
[Granted, it gives the explosion a nicer effect with the door closed.]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When the Doctor, Rose & Harriet emerge from the wreckage of Downing Street, they don't have so much as a hair out of place: no soot or debris on them anywhere.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Watch out for street traffic and busses in the background following the destruction of Downing Street, when London is supposedly "empty".
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Anyway, regardless of how relatively "empty" London is, surely when Downing Street is destroyed by a missile you'd see at least someone coming to have a look? How come Harriet has to walk half a mile to find anyone?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
After the Doctor gets the kid to clean off the Bad Wolf graffiti, we see two long shots of Mickey sitting down with his feet apart, interspersed with two medium shots showing his feet much closer together.

Dalek:
NEW (?) -
At the start they mention that a previous technician who touched the Dalek burst into flames. So:
a) Why didn't the Dalek absorb his DNA?
b) Why didn't Rose burst into flames?
NEW (?) -
OK, so the story is set in 2012, and Van Statten's bunker is chock full of alien technology and artefacts... so surely they'd have something more advanced than a bloody chain to hold the Dalek prisoner? Or a drill to torture him??
[What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?]
NEW (?) -
So who exactly turns the lights on in the cell when the Doctor goes in to talk to the "Metaltron"? If it was Van Statten or his staff, why didn't they flick the switch before the Doc entered the room? Or is it the Dalek who controls the lights??
[You can just imagine Van Statten saying "OK, we're going to chain you up and torture you, but on the bright side, you can turn the lights off when you want some rest!"]
NEW (?) -
With a security breach that major, surely the guards would have had a sniff around and noticed the great big blue police box standing about twenty feet away from them under a spotlight?
NEW (?) -
On a related note, the TARDIS is left with its doors apparently open – the light is still spilling out when all the guards rush to capture the Doctor and Rose – but nobody in this Museum of Alien Artifacts is remotely interested in it even being there, let alone noticing that there's something odd inside. (Plus, at the end, the doors are seen to be shut and locked as the Doctor lets himself and the others in.)
NEW (?) -
OK, so it's somewhat plausible that a Dalek can somehow sample DNA to rebuild itself – but it's inferred that this will also transfer emotions, experience and ideas...??
NEW (?) -
When Rose goes to touch the Dalek, in the wide shot she places her hand to the right of his eyepiece. Then in close-up, her hand is touching to the left of his eyepiece.
NEW (?) -
The guard who announces that the Dalek has escaped from the cage says "I repeat – this is not a drill"... but it's the first time he's said it!
NEW (?) -
The map of the US is incomplete – some state borders are missing, so the country appears to have only 42 states instead of the current 48 continental states. Also, the map is missing a big chunk of the state of Michigan – the area known as the "Upper Peninsula" (on the southern shore of Lake Superior).
[OK, this is set in 2012 so some political boundaries could well change in the next few years. Is it likely that Canada will annex part of Michigan though??]
NEW (?) -
The escaping Dalek fires a shot into a series of canisters marked "flammable", which then emit some kind of fog into the room. Just a few seconds later, sprays of sparks should have ignited the so-called "flammable" gas, but there was no explosion at all.
NEW (?) -
How can the Dalek 'calculate' the combination code? To be pedantic, you can't calculate a random code! There's nothing to calculate – it's just randomly chosen. The Dalek could've used a scanning device to physically check the actual setting (or to ascertain the response of the system to different wrong codes – a common way of hacking electronic systems). Or it could've simply tried combinations very quickly (though most such systems only allow new attempts after a specified period, to stop people doing that). But it certainly couldn't 'calculate' it, super-genius or not. All it can do is guess!
NEW (?) -
Furthermore, the lock has got 100 million combinations, not a billion. (8 digits, not 9)
NEW (?) -
The Doctor didn't exactly rush when the Dalek broke free... he took time to change back into his jumper and leather jacket.
NEW (?) -
When the Dalek turns on the sprinklers, there's no steam, even though a few minutes earlier it was hot enough to vapourise bullets. I know it can obviously turn off this shield, allowing Rose to touch it, but surely something that hot couldn't cool down so fast?
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor starts raising his voice in Van Statten's office, his voice seems to echo a lot more than you would expect it to in a room that size, almost as if it was really just a set in a large warehouse.
[Surely not!]
NEW (?) -
The security forces are wearing their American flag patches backwards on their right shoulders. The flag "looks" correct, in that the stars are to the left, but in reality, American troops wear the flag patch back-to-front on their right shoulders, i.e. so the stars are on the right (so they can be closer to your heart, apparently.) See this page if you don't believe me.
[Hard to fault the Beeb for getting this wrong, but we're not here to give them an easy time!]
NEW (?) -
After the Dalek has escaped and is roaming free, Rose and Adam encounter the armed guards. As they run in, Rose is standing at Adam's right, but when the camera angle changes, she's standing to his left.
NEW (?) -
Why did all the guards die despite having bloody great rubber soles on their boots? The camera even lingered on one soldier's boots – clearly rubber (an excellent insulator) and not even slightly melted!
[Though, in fairness, streaming wet rubber soles might just do the trick]
NEW (?) -
So the Dalek is clever enough to float up the stairs, but not clever enough to just float up the gap in the middle of the stairwell, in a fraction of the time?
NEW (?) -
When the Dalek was going up the stairs several levels behind them, why couldn't Rose and Adam double-back in the lift and make a run for the TARDIS?
NEW (?) -
When they're tracking the Dalek's progress on the monitor, the dot representing the Dalek appears to travel up one flight in around three seconds, when in reality it appears to take more like 20 seconds.
NEW (?) -
The computer used for closing the bulkheads with had a UK keyboard (look out for the pound sign).
[You won't find many of those in Utah!]
NEW (?) -
Why didn't the Doctor & Van Statten just shut the bulkhead door halfway down and let Adam and Rose roll underneath it to escape the Dalek?
[The Daleks may have conquered stairs, but they haven't learnt to limbo]
NEW (?) -
Also, Rose and Adam literally run for their lives as the doors were closing. So Rose should have been out of breath when she reached the closed door – but she was able to talk normally on the phone.
NEW (?) -
Rather odd that there was such a huge kerfuffle about having to use emergency power quickly to seal the bulkhead door before it failed, then once the Doctor decided to open it again, all it took was pressing "Enter" on a keyboard.
NEW (?) -
When Rose steps back from the Dalek at the end, there's an audible sound of polystyrene as she treads on some debris on the floor.
[All the best nuclear bunkers are made from polystyrene, didn't you know?]

The Long Game:
NEW (?) -
Judging from the windows on the external shots, Station 5 doesn't look like it's got anywhere near 500 floors.
NEW (?) -
One of the extras in the "newsroom" can't manage the simple task of placing their hand into the moulded handprint on the access globes.
NEW (?) -
If Suki is supposedly a rock-hard freedom fighter, why does she act like such a girl when she first reaches Floor 500?
[No offence to any girls in the audience.]
NEW (?) -
When Suki finds the decayed corpses on Floor 500, it sounds like she drops her torch, but immediately afterwards it's in her other hand.
NEW (?) -
If it's so cold on Floor 500, why are the bodies decayed? They should be better preserved. Also, how does anyone move (particularly the Editor)? The water inside his body should be frozen solid.
NEW (?) -
For that matter, why do they go to such trouble with the air-conditioning to keep Floor 500 cold? They're in space, for heaven's sake. It's close to absolute zero out there – open a window!
NEW (?) -
We're told that you need a key to travel in the lifts between floors – so how does Adam get down to level 016?
NEW (?) -
The dead Suki blinks while sitting at her console.
NEW (?) -
If Max can control zombies through the wireless implants, and humans can absorb data subconsciously through their Mark II chips, why doesn't Max simply control humans directly through their implants? Why be subtle through the media when you have a mainline to peoples' brains?
NEW (?) -
How did Cathica get to Floor 500 in order to save the day? Wouldn't she have needed to be promoted?
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor sees Adam with the chip in his head, why did he automatically assume that Adam had done this by his own volition? Surely it's equally plausible that Adam had been forced into the operation and made to "talk" by the Editor?
NEW (?) -
In the scene towards the end where the Doctor marches angrily towards Adam, and as Adam says "I'm alright now, much better. I've got the key..." you can clearly see a boom mic above Adam's head coming in from the right of the screen.
NEW (?) -
After the Doctor returns Adam home, and needs to get rid of the phone machine message that Adam sent from the year 200,000 – why does he blow the machine up? Why not simply erase the message?
NEW (?) -
Futhermore, if the Doctor was so concerned about the phone message disrupting the timeline, why did he do nothing about the great big wodge of 200,000AD technology implanted in Adam's head? Since the "chip" is anachronistic to the 21st century, surely this is bound to cause major problems – as we see almost instantly when his mum snaps her fingers and notices it at the end of the episode!
[He'll never be able to watch The Addams Family again, for starters.]
NEW (?) -
Also at the very end, when Rose and the Doctor are snapping their fingers, notice Adam's hair is parted from left to right. When Adam's mum comes in the door and he turns, his hair is suddenly parted the opposite way.

Father's Day:
NEW (?) -
The south of England suffered a severe storm in October 1987, only a few weeks before this episode is set. With it being the worst storm in nearly 300 years, you'd expect to see some lingering signs of storm damage during the episode – missing tiles on houses, fallen trees / tree stumps, etc.
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor & Rose visit the scene of the paradox the second time, they must have travelled back in time a bit, even if it was only ten minutes or so. So presumably the TARDIS couldn't have materialised at the same physical location as the first visit – it would either end up occupying the exact same time/space co-ordinates (which sounds like a big no-no), or if it was next to the "first" TARDIS it would look odd to both innocent on-lookers and the "first" Doctor and Rose. Hence it must have materialised somewhere else but close by. And yet, when the Doctor returns to the TARDIS after leaving Rose's flat, he goes to the original landing location.
NEW (?) -
Look among the parked cars in the background to spot a 21st century Toyota Yaris, rather out of place in 1987!
NEW (?) -
After the Doctor and Rose argue in the flat, he starts to leave. She runs out into the hall and blocks his exit while she speaks. The Doctor then walks past her on her right. The camera angle reverses to follow him and suddenly he's walking past her on the other side.
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor realises that the TARDIS is empty, he heads back down the street. To the left of the shot, as he starts running, there's a distinctive yellow Volkswagen camper van parked in the street. In the very next scene, where Rose and Pete are driving to the church, the same VW van (with a white tyre cover on the front) is following them a few cars behind.
NEW (?) -
Speaking of reappearing cars, there's a brown Rover 3500 parked outside the TARDIS when the Doctor discovers the TARDIS is just a police box. But it's also following Rose and Pete when they're driving to the church and it's parked outside the church when they arrive and when Pete is killed.
[Could this be the Master's TARDIS?]
NEW (?) -
Rose's Dad has a D-Reg car, meaning it was registered between August 1986 - July 1987, so the car was somewhere between 3-15 months old when this episode is set – but it was decidedly shabby-looking (the wheels in particular), and looked like it'd had a dodgy respray – all on a car scarcely a year old?
NEW (?) -
When we hear Alexander Bell's famous first phone call on-screen, it says "Watson, come here, I need you". The actual message was "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you". In addition, Bell has the wrong accent – he was born in Edinburgh and didn't move to Canada until he was 23, so he should have had a distinct Scottish burr.
NEW (?) -
When Mickey is on the swings, a Reaper supposedly swoops down and eats all the children... so why didn't it eat him as well? And how did it happen so quickly? The other times we see the Reapers, it takes seconds for them to eat someone – here the disappearances happened in a blink of an eye. And finally, why didn't anyone scream or shout?
NEW (?) -
As we see the Reapers for the first time and the Doctor yells to everyone to get in the church, Jackie picks up the carry-cot from the ground. With the ease with which she snatches it up, there's no way there's a baby inside!
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor is about to use his sonic screwdriver on the church door but gets interrupted by the couple getting married, he switches the screwdriver off – but about a second later, the screwdriver flashes.
NEW (?) -
Why do the Reapers go round 'eating' people left right and centre – won't those peoples' deaths cause further anomalies? Why didn't they just zero in on Pete?
NEW (?) -
The original accident saw the car turning left around the corner before hitting/missing Rose's dad, but once we're at the church it's always turning to the right as it rounds the corner.
NEW (?) -
The last time the fatal car comes around the corner there's a pigeon on the street, which wasn't present during any previous time the car came around the corner.
NEW (?) -
Pete and Jackie both have blue eyes – but Rose has brown eyes. Hence it's practically impossible for her to be their daughter as the "blue eyes" gene is recessive.
[Did the milkman have brown eyes?]
NEW (?) -
Why didn't Jackie, or someone else apart from Rose, run out to Pete after he got hit?
[Surely Jackie would have assume the overly-concerned blonde was a mistress?]
NEW (?) -
Why does the bride give a big smile when she sees Pete lay dying on the ground?
NEW (?) -
Why wasn't there a dent in the car after the accident, nor any blood (or even scratches) on Pete's body?
NEW (?) -
Originally, the driver of the car just sped off, whereas in the "mended" version he stopped and was arrested. How is this "leaving the timeline unchanged" exactly??

The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances:
NEW (?)ep 1 -
At the very start, the TARDIS occupants are experiencing a bumpy ride. The camera tilts anti-clockwise as it often does, to indicate the TARDIS has violently tilted in one direction – but the actors don't react properly: Rose leans forward, the Doctor leans in the other (wrong) direction. And none of the cables (loosely run about the control panel) move even slightly.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When the Doctor first discovers he's in London during the Blitz and exits out of the club, then up the alleyway towards the camera – before turning the corner, you can clearly hear someone (presumably the animal handler) issue the command 'Stay!' to the cat in the basket.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When Rose grabs the rope and begins to drift up and away from the rooftop, look at the first wide shot of her. She's flailing her legs while hanging onto the rope in front of some plain-looking buildings. However, when we cut to a closeup, her head is in a different position and she's no longer flailing her legs.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Barrage balloons were put up to protect from low flying aircraft... So why did we see the aircraft fly underneath the balloons? They should have had their wings ripped to pieces by the steel cables hanging from the balloons. Speaking of which, technically that's another blooper – the balloons should have had steel cables attached rather than ropes, though these wouldn't have been as easy for Rose to hang onto!
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When Nancy first goes into the kitchen, there's half a cake on the cooling rack, but when she picks it up, it has reformed into a whole cake.
[The nanogenes' handiwork again?]
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When Rose is about to fall off the rope, there's a shot of her hanging with her arms above her head – then in the next shot her arms are lower, at chest level. Then back to above her head again!
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When Captain Jack lowers the hatch inside his ship (before he and Rose ascend to the top of the craft), in the shot of him standing next to it as he descends from Rose's POV, the hatch is just about to brush his shoulder. But when the shot changes to behind him, he has somehow moved further away.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Jack introduces himself as coming from the 133rd Squadron of the Royal Air Force, which in reality wasn't formed until the end of July 1941, a couple of months after the Blitz ended (mid-May 1941).
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When she goes outside to fetch the kids, how does Nancy manage to do a (very good) two-fingered whistle whilst wearing her woollen gloves?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
That cat looks suspiciously well-fed considering that the episode was taking place during a time of massive food shortages...
[Then again, maybe it was just a very resourceful cat.]
NEW (?)ep 1 -
The "Charley Chimp" toy (the classic cymbal-crashing monkey) is an anachronism. Charley Chimp wasn't first made until the 50's, and doesn't belong in 1941.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
If mauve is the Chula colour for danger, why do the attack alarms on their ambulances flash red?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
All the way throughout Rose and Jack's scene outside the ship, Big Ben remains frozen at 9:30.
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
Somebody needs to tell Captain Jack that there's no such rank as Captain in the Royal Air Force. Group Captain, yes. Captain, no.
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
People's air raid preparations are shockingly lax compared to how real Londoners behaved during the Blitz – watch out for many examples of lights left on unnecessarily, windows wide open with no curtains, etc!
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
Not to mention, doesn't it seem at all dangerous to light up Big Ben like a lighthouse in the middle of an air raid?? Why didn't the German bombers start swarming in like flies?
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
Albion Hospital's big iron gates are unlikely to have lasted 2 years into the war, as there were big drives to reclaim iron for munitions and bomb manufacturing.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Nancy asks to use the "bathroom" – however, most London houses (at least, of the rather old type the Lloyds have) wouldn't have had bathrooms until after the war: they'd have had a privy or outhouse instead.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Tape recorders were invented by the Germans during the war – and didn't fall into Allied hands until 1944 or thereabouts as the Allies pushed into Germany. Shame really, as it ruins that wonderfully creepy scene with the tape running out...
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
Jack says that there's a seven-storey drop outside the window of Albion Hospital. Previous shots of the building establish it as having five storeys and a one-storey tower.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
In one or two shots, we see a gas-mask person in a wheelchair, which if you stop and think about it, doesn't make sense. Shouldn't they also have been repaired like the one-legged woman?
[OK, perhaps they were repaired, but it never crossed the victim's mind to get up and try walking?]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
All the children are facing the typewriter, so why do none of them notice it typing on its own?
NEW (?)ep 1-2 -
In The Empty Child, when the Doctor is chasing the Chula ambulance, the computer monitor is on the far side of the TARDIS console (away from the doors). When the Doctor and Rose come back into the TARDIS in The Doctor Dances, the computer monitor is missing entirely. The Doctor walks all the way around the console and it's nowhere to be seen on any panel. Finally, when Jack comes on board and the Doctor and Rose are dancing, the computer monitor is back – but on the panel facing the door this time!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
There is NO way on Earth a picket of soldiers would be gathering around a bonfire during an air-raid!
[Why not just paint targets on their helmets and be done with it?]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
It looks as though Captain Jack's spaceship windows are covered with CSO material. Did someone forget to add the stars?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
If the nanogenes repair injuries, why do all those 'infected' still have a scar on their hands? Even if Jamie had had a cut on his hand when he was killed, surely it would have been healed by the nanogenes while they were turning his face into a gas mask?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
In a similar vein, if the nanogenes assumed the gas mask was part of Jamie, then why not assume all his clothes were part of the human body too and incorporate them onto all the humans they modify? Or, to take it a step further, why didn't they try to turn everyone into little boys... or at least males?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
This might be a new Doctor, but it seems he hasn't lost the ability of many of his previous incarnations to regenerate his clothes between scenes. He's wearing his red jumper on Jack's ship, but when he releases the nanogenes towards Jamie and Nancy, all of a sudden he's wearing his blue jumper.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
In the railyard, after Jamie becomes human again, the Doctor looks at his hands and moves away from the group – then he's out of shot while Jack is praising Rose's T-shirt. But after Jack's ship flies up, the Doctor is back behind Jamie and Nancy again.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Captain Jack's ship is a marvel of 51st century technology, so why can't it defuse or otherwise dispose of a crude 1940's bomb? Why does Jack think it's a great plan to take the bomb physically on board his ship and fly out light years into space (an extremely long way as there's no large nebulae that close to Earth) and risk blowing himself up, rather than simply dropping it off with his tractor beam somewhere convenient (middle of the ocean should do) and letting it explode harmlessly?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
After Rose asks the Doc to dance with her, he comes over and starts inspecting her hands. As the camera cuts back and forth between views, Rose's hands are facing the wrong way up or down as he turns them over – for a second it makes you wonder just how flexible her arms are!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The Doctor might be able to dance, but he can't click his fingers in time to the music. :)

Boom Town:
NEW (?) -
Mickey is supposedly arriving from London, but the train arriving at Cardiff Central at the beginning of the episode is moving towards London (i.e. from Swansea).
[This is Mickey we're talking about, so let's face it, he probably fell asleep... or forgot to get off at Cardiff and had to travel back.]
NEW (?) -
Noel Clarke fluffs his lines when Mickey is talking to Rose about waiting for her.
NEW (?) -
The newspaper the Doctor snatches is the (real) Western Mail, yet the reporter is from the (ficticious) Cardiff Gazette.
NEW (?) -
The newspaper article with the picture of Margaret on gets printed and distributed within a matter of hours of it being taken – seems slightly odd that it would happen the same day.
[Though the marvel of digital photography does make it at least faintly plausible.]
NEW (?) -
The picture on the front of the paper shows Margaret with her hand covering her face in reaction to the photographer, but when the photo is taken, we hear the shutter click, then Margaret puts her hand up to shield herself. The photo would have been one of Margaret unawares - it's only when she hears the shutter that she becomes defensive.
NEW (?) -
The Doctor doesn't seem to have planned his visit to the Mayor's office very well – why does he bother talking to Margaret's secretary? Why not just flash his good old psychic paper to gain admittance? And surely he would have anticipated Margaret trying to escape out the window, so why not wait for Mickey, Rose & Jack to get into position outside before he announced himself?
NEW (?) -
Why did Margaret have her hi-tech surfboard built as part of the model of the nuclear power station? Wouldn't it have been more secure to keep it, oh I don't know, in a safe? A cupboard? Behind the sofa?
NEW (?) -
OK, so "Blaidd Drwg" (Welsh for "Bad Wolf") was used for the project name – but why did no Welsh people ask why the project is called "Bad Wolf"?
NEW (?) -
How does someone get elected mayor of Cardiff without getting their photo taken once?
NEW (?) -
As for how she got elected Mayor of Cardiff and got a nuclear power station planned, all within 6 months of emerging from a skip in the Isle of Dogs? All of that would take more like 6 years!
NEW (?) -
If the Slitheen can kill by shooting poison darts or breathing on people, why go to all the trouble of spending half an hour climbing out of a suit and hoping your victim is dumb enough to have stood around while you do it?
NEW (?) -
When the Doctor and Margaret rush out of the restaurant to investigate the rift eruption, she complains about getting electrocuted by the limiting bracelet due to being a slower runner than the Doctor, so he takes it off her. But then they run the rest of the way holding hands! Where was the need to take the bracelet off then? She's never going to be more than 10 feet away while holding the Doctor's hand!
NEW (?) -
Why did no authority figures surround the TARDIS when it was emitting a light display that lit up the sky and caused havoc in Cardiff? Or afterwards when the TARDIS was still hanging around? Police, army, Torchwood, anyone??
NEW (?) -
If Margaret can quickly shed her human arm/sleeve in order to menace Rose with her Slitheen arm, why doesn't she do that to get rid of the limiting bracelet...?
NEW (?) -
Speaking of Margaret's human arm, how can a three-fingered Slitheen correctly operate a five-fingered hand while wearing a human skin suit?
NEW (?) -
As Rose runs towards the TARDIS at one point, a crack appears in some stone columns as she passes. Later, when she leaves the TARDIS to find Mickey and passes the same place, the crack on the front of the left column has disappeared.
NEW (?) -
So what closed the rift exactly? There it goes ripping the planet apart and then suddenly, oh, it's stopped! Did the TARDIS just absorb all the energy as fuel, or were we not supposed to notice after being distracted by the "soul of the TARDIS" turning Margaret into an egg?!
NEW (?) -
If Slitheen grow from eggs, why do they have a belly button?
[Related to the Crazy Frog perhaps?]
NEW (?) -
When Rose is trying to pronounce "Raxacoricofallapatorious", the Doctor is standing against the door frame, but when he tries pronouncing it, he's standing in the middle of the door frame. Finally, in the next shot of the Doctor, he's back to standing against the door frame again.

Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways:
NEW (?)ep 1 -
The transmat used to suck the Doctor & co. out of the TARDIS and bring them to the Game Station didn't just transport them across space, but roughly 200,000 years through time too. If the Daleks have this technology, why are they so scared of the Doctor? Why not dispose of him by transmatting him 200,000 years further back into the past (or the future) without his TARDIS? Or just transmat him into the vacuum of space?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
It's meant to be the year 200,000 – i.e. 197 millennia in the future – and yet the Trinny & Susannah robots describe Jack's clothes as "so 20th century". That far into the future, wouldn't they'd be more likely to say "so 2nd millennium"? If they're still using the same century-numbering scheme as we do, then they'd refer to their own time as the "2001st century" which doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. Whereas if they're not using the same numbering scheme (e.g. if they "reset" the century count every few thousand years) then multiple "20th centuries" would have passed since our time.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
How did Jack know about the "games" (plural) when he first turned up to meet the Doctor? He only experienced What Not To Wear, which isn't a game show.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
Did anyone think it was strange that they had higher security in the studios than in the brig? The BB house was super-escape-proof – resistant even to the sonic screwdriver – meanwhile, dangerous escapees were placed behind a wire mesh with only a couple of dozy guards to mind them.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
For that matter, why would a society kill people for not knowing their trivia, but merely imprison armed and dangerous criminals?
NEW (?)ep 1 -
When the Doctor and Jack look at the expanse of space where the transmat beams terminate, the Horsehead Nebula is clearly visible in the background. Very pretty, but the Horsehead Nebula is almost 1,500 light years away, hardly "on the edge of the Solar System" as Jack notes.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
It's pointless for Station 5 to mask sonar to prevent detection of the Dalek ships... sonar relies on sound waves, which don't travel through the vacuum of space.
NEW (?)ep 1 -
So why would the Daleks with 200 ships need to spend 100 years messing with the Earth's TV shows – how or why did they expect the Doctor to turn up again?
[Or are they just huge gameshow fans?]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The forcefield only seemed to extend a short distance away from the TARDIS when the Daleks shot at the Doctor. He then walked off to a point closer to the emperor – didn't he move outside the forcefield?!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
What happens to the smoking remains of the Dalek who gets blown up inside the TARDIS? Seems implausible that the Doctor, Rose or Jack would have time to move it before they arrived back on Satellite 5 – and it isn't there when the Doctor sends Rose home.
[Does the TARDIS have a housekeeper?]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Rodrick (the Weakest Link winner) mentions that the Daleks were destroyed. How did he know about them?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
About 12 minutes in, while Captain Jack is trying to get his posse together, the boom mike is clearly visible in the bottom third of the shot in front of his black leather trousers.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The crowd on the left, down on Floor Zero, don't exactly look terrified do they? That one in the middle is laughing!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Captain Jack's force field only protected the top 5 floors of satellite 5, so why didn't the Daleks just blow up the remaining 496 floors?!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Mickey said that he heard the TARDIS from a least a street away – did nobody else hear it? The streets are conveniently deserted – surely you'd expect to see at least a couple of curious bystanders, especially when Mickey starts making even more of a racket burning rubber in his Mini?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Speaking of which, you clearly see Mickey shredding his Mini's front tyres on the road, so where are all the skid-marks? The road is plainly visible in a couple of shots and there's no burnt rubber anywhere.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
So Mickey's sitting in his Mini giving it full throttle when the chain breaks. The car then does a little roll backwards and halts, as if left in gear when the engine is switched off. Surely when the chain broke, the Mini should shoot off and crash into the opposite wall?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The Daleks make sound in space. Except when they break the window.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
How come the Daleks hovering in space could use a puny little laser to smash the window of the room Lynda was in, when the Doctor said that it was built to be "resistant to meteors?"
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Speaking of meteors, while it makes sense for the window to be meteor-proof, why would the interior door need to be??
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Never mind the fact that it should be referred to as meteoroid-proof – they're only called "meteors" once they enter the atmosphere of a planet.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The chain that Mickey used to open the TARDIS console is lying on the console room floor one minute, and is suddenly on the ground outside the TARDIS in the next shot when the doors close.
[Obviously the 'TARDIS maid' who also tidied up the Dalek remains moved this too.]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
The Doctor said something to the effect of "If I build a Delta Wave machine then I have the chance to wipe the Daleks out right here, right now, once and for all". Are we to believe that every Dalek ship in existence just happens to be parked next to Earth at that moment? What about the Dalek ships that are off conquering other galaxies / on holiday that week / popped out to Alpha Centauri for some shopping, etc. etc.?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When the Doctor slips his hands off the Delta Wave lever, he does it twice. Once in close-up and again on the mid-shot – you can even hear it!
NEW (?)ep 2 -
For someone who was blind and had been hooked up to those cables since she was 5, the Controller was remarkably steady on her feet, wasn't she?
[Maybe she was allowed out for loo breaks?]
NEW (?)ep 2 -
If the two different women can both be transmatted off floor 500, why can't they just grab everyone else too there at the end? Why isn't the Doctor worried about getting grabbed? Is the transmat "offline" without the controller in place?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Neither the Doctor nor Rose know Jack has been exterminated – why don't they wonder where he is or attempt to find him before they leave?
NEW (?)ep 2 -
When TARDIS/Rose arrives back on the Game Station, the Doctor throws his hands up to protect his face, and he bends to his left, towards the nearest console. When the camera pans back, the Doctor is bending to his right, towards the opposite bank of consoles.
NEW (?)ep 2 -
Although she appeared as the Floor Manager in both Bad Wolf and The Parting of the Ways, actress Jenna Russell's name was accidentally left out of the closing credits for The Parting of the Ways (the broadcast version, at least).
