Trivia

The Doctor Who story "Fury From the Deep" was the first to feature the Doctor's favourite gadget, the "Sonic Screwdriver". The "Sonic Screwdriver" has popped up in Doctor Who stories many times since...even as recently as the 1996 TV Movie of Doctor Who (the one that starred Paul McGann as the Doctor). Sadly, it cannot be seen in "Fury from The Deep" as every episode of that story was destroyed by the BBC in 1977. See more...

The Curse of Peladon (season 9, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: The delegate 'Centauri' is a 'hexapod' - a creature with six legs and feet. ('Hex' = "six", 'pod' = 'foot'.) But throughout this Doctor Who story, 'Centauri' can be seen with all six legs and feet in the air, projecting from the front of the creature...so what is it walking around on?

Continuity: In episode 2, As Jo walks along the castle ledge to escape from the Ice Warriors' room, there is, at one point, a quick shot of a piece of the ledge breaking off under Jo's shoe and falling down the cliff face. However, the shoe isn't Jo's. If you look closely, you'll see that the shoe in that brief shot is more pointed and of a darker colour than the shoes Jo is wearing, and has a strap across the ankle instead of being a slip-on.

The Sea Devils (season 9, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In episodes 2 and 3, watch the clock on the wall in the Master's quarters. When the Master pulls a gun on the Doctor and the Doctor quickly pulls the door shut, the clock shows ten minutes to three. In the next episode, after the swordfight is over and the Doctor is being led out by the guards, the clock now shows approximately eight minutes after twelve.

Edit

Plot hole: The Doctor and the Master both surface in bright orange diving suits and are the only two wearing them. But when the supposed body of the Master is dragged out it is also wearing an orange diving suit, and the Doctor and Master are still wearing theirs, so a third suit appeared from nowhere.

Continuity: The helicopter sent to rescue the Doctor and Jo changes in mid flight. It begins as a grey Sea King marked SO. In the second shot, it has an orange nose and tail stripe and is numbered 56.

The Three Doctors (season 10, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: The Brigadier says UNIT HQ is 'a Top Secret establishment'. It is, in fact so secret that it has a large sign outside informing the world not only of its function, but also the name of the commanding officer...

Plot hole: After UNIT HQ disappears, you can see a patch of grass where the UNIT HQ used to be...but just exactly how can grass grow underneath a building?

Revealing: When the Doctor and Jo see Bessie in the middle of the rocky area, there is the white chalky substance from the ground on her wheels, indicating she was driven to the spot rather than being "transported" to the black-hole.

Revealing: Whenever the TARDIS's scanner picture of the Doctor's laboratory is shown, the TARDIS itself is always in the picture.

Factual error: It's stated that Omega caused the black hole when he created a supernova. Supernovas don't cause black holes, they're created by huge stars imploding.

Visible crew/equipment: You can see the reflections of the camera crew in the monitor used to display the First Doctor (William Hartnell). (This is especially noticeable in episodes 2 and 4).

Revealing: At various times (especially in episodes 3 and 4) you can see actor Stephen Thorne's lips through Omega's mask (and in one profile shot you can also see his jaw), yet when his mask is removed, we find that Omega has been dissipated and has no face...

Revealing: In episode 3, when the second Doctor, the Brigadier and Benton emerge from the TARDIS, the doors are left completely open with the camera looking straight into them for a long time, revealing not only the emptiness of the police box shell, but also that there's a pair of secret doors on the opposite side to the entrance doors. These 'secret doors' come in handy during episode 4, allowing seven people to come out of the police box in the final confrontation with Omega. (Well, it is stated time and again that the TARDIS is "bigger on the inside than the outside". Now we know how that happens...).

Audio problem: When the companions are returning to Earth via the pillar of smoke, you can see and hear each person walk up the steps and then supposedly disappear. Unfortunately, you can then hear them walk down the other side of the steps..

Carnival of Monsters (season 10, episode 2)

⇑

Audio problem: About 10 minutes into episode 1 of "Carnival of Monsters" the sound of a pencil being dropped and rolling across the studio floor can be heard.

Planet of the Daleks (season 10, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: The Doctor followed the Daleks to Spiridon but then is shocked to see the Dalek at the end of episode one.

Visible crew/equipment: In episode four, the Dalek chasing the heroes up the ventilator shaft is supported by strings.

Continuity: At the end of episode one, when the Doctor and Taron spray paint onto the invisible Dalek, they use two different colors. At the start of episode two, the Dalek is suddenly black and painted on all sides.

Visible crew/equipment: As the Daleks plan to release bacteria into the atmosphere, a crew member is reflected in the glass box containing the bacteria.

Continuity: In episode five, Jo's hairstyle changes. She has one hairstyle in the bulk of the episode, which was filmed in the studio. And a different one during the "Plain of Stones" scenes, which were shot on location.
