Revealing: When the red Dalek falls down the shaft, there is a very clear shot of its base with three small furniture casters (though it must be a dummy, as there is no hole for the operator's feet to protrude).

Other: Observing the Dalek saucer, the Doctor notes that it seems to be landing in the vicinity of Sloane Square.

Continuity: In the last scenes, as he is driving away with the three unconscious thieves in the car, Tom looks off to his right and waves to Dr. Who and his entourage. They wave back, looking also to their right, making the points of view incongruous.

Continuity: When Wyler and Susan are escaping in the van, the windscreen is shattered and Wyler punches a hole for visibility. In all further shots of the van, the windscreen is obviously intact with the shattering merely cosmetic.
