The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Factual error: The Doctor mentions at one point in the story that he had once been fishing in the River Fleet with the Venerable Bede. The Venerable Bede was a distinguished 7th century scholar, who lived his entire life at Jarrow, on Tyneside, and never at any time came to London.
Continuity mistake: The Gatherer gleefully states that being on the roof is a fine of 500 talmars. Later, Cordo says it is 5 talmars.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor smashes the crystal lattice on the floor, the deactivated Mr. Sin flinches.
Continuity mistake: In episode 4, approximately 5 minutes from the end of the story, Soldeed is shot after he pulls the lever that sets the complex on overload, and then crumples to the ground dead beneath the lever. Then, after the Doctor and everyone else get out of the complex, we see a selection of shots taken inside the complex - one of which is the room with the lever that Soldeed pulled, except he's no longer there...
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor finds the vraxoin vial in episode 1, he puts it in his right coat pocket, from where it is then removed by Stott. However, at the end of episode 2, Costa's scanner finds vraxoin traces in the Doctor's LEFT coat pocket.
Visible crew/equipment: Episode 5, while Zoe and Jamie are at the Weather Control Station, when they hear the Ice Warrior approaching they both hide, and the actor's T-mark is visible on the floor. (00:18:00)
Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 5) When Vicki is in the jungle she happens upon the TARDIS and bangs on the door begging to be let in. In the next shot we can see the boom pole/mic hovering in the background, then a hand appears which seems to guide the actress to head in that direction. (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: (End of Ep. 3 and start of Ep. 4) When The Third Doctor fights the dark side of Omega's mind, the rings that The Doctor wears on the pinky fingers of both hands switch to his ring fingers, then back again to his pinky fingers, between shots. Then as Omega chokes The Doctor, the ring on his right pinky vanishes between shots.
Revealing mistake: When Noah bangs his green arm down, in a close-up you can tell that the arm has green bubble wrap around it. (00:02:30)
Remembrance of the Daleks - S25-E1
Character mistake: The gate to I.M. Foreman's scrapyard reads "I.M. Forman."
Factual error: It is stated that removing all the plants caused carbon dioxide levels to drop. But plants absorb carbon dioxide, so removing them would create an increase.
Plot hole: In "The Five Doctors", Susan tells Turlough that she can pilot the TARDIS to some extent. During series 1 and 2, it was clear that she couldn't pilot it at all. She couldn't have been taught between episodes as the Doctor had little idea himself at the time.
Continuity mistake: The Doctor somehow manages to secure his scarf across the catwalk, despite having only gone on seconds before the Master. He then manages to put it on again during the seconds it takes for the Master to alter the angle.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Ian's pen vanishes, as he checks to see if he is being followed you can see a boom mic shadow on his coat.
Attack of the Cybermen - S22-E1
Visible crew/equipment: Just after the Cyber Leader orders that Flast be thrown out of the refrigerated room, one of the floor crew can be seen kneeling behind some crates. (01:20:50)
Continuity mistake: The countdown clock in Marius' lab speeds up and slows down as needed for the plot.
Underworld - S15-E5
Factual error: While it's true the centre of a planet would have no net gravity, the weightless condition would be everywhere, not concentrated in a convenient shaft.
Visible crew/equipment: When Susan runs out into the console room in a panic, the shadows of two crew can be seen on the wall.
Deliberate mistake: When the Doctor and Benton are throwing fungus at the maggots in episode six, a shot of a chunk of fungus rolling down a hill between two maggots is repeated.
Visible crew/equipment: In episode four, when Ian and the Doctor descend the stairs into Frankenstein's lab, you can see a boom operator and mic behind Ian, at the left side of the screen.
Answer: TARDISes are generally available for properly authorised use on Gallifrey; they're not usually assigned to a particular Timelord on a long-term basis. The Doctor stole his when he left his homeworld.
