The Wheel in Space: | ||
 | ep 3 – | The pseudo-science in this story is so preposterous it requires not so much a suspension of disbelief as a total obliteration of it. All the stuff about the Cybermen's plan to "ionise" a star (?), thereby causing it to go nova (?!), which somehow causes meteor storms to be sent towards the Wheel (??!!) is actively painful to listen to. |
| ep 3 – | When the Cybermats attack Rudkin in the power room, he sprays one of them with quick-seal plastic. We see the plastic covering only a thin layer of the top of the Cybermat before the spray is knocked from Rudkin's hand, but when we see the Cybermat later, it is covered inside a thick cocoon of plastic all the way around! |
 | ep 6 – | The characters keep referring to 'meteorites,' which is incorrect. They should be called 'meteoroids,' as they only become meteorites after they land on Earth (or some other planetary body). |
| ep 6 – | Patrick Troughton makes the mother of all Freudian slips (no pun intended) when telling Leo Ryan that many lives will be lost unless they "switch over to sexual air supply."
[He should have said "sectional", apparently.] |
| ep 6 – | When Jarvis Bennett struggles with a Cyberman, he rips off some of the creature's external plumbing, which can be seen hanging from its right arm. However, after the fight, the Cyberman moves off down the corridor showing no damage whatsoever. |
