Doctor Who

Doctor Who (1963)

3 corrected entries in season 15

(3 votes)

Correction: The script specifies - and if you look closely, the action confirms - that Leela jumps out of the way of K-9's show but hits her head on the wall, knocking herself out.

Underworld - S15-E5

Corrected entry: A newly formed planet would be molten rock for several million years and thus totally impossible for human life to exist on (or in). Any spaceship caught up in such evolutionary processes would be crushed immediately.

Correction: This anomaly is explained within the story. The "planet" has formed by the gravitational effect of the ship attracting a build-up of rocks and debris around the outside of it.

Image of the Fendahl - S15-E3

Corrected entry: These events take place on Lammas Eve, 31st July, yet everybody in the bar Leela visits wears winter clothing and the woods are shrouded in mist. It must have been the coldest July on record...

Correction: Perhaps it was. England is not known for its summery spells. This could also have been influenced by the Fendahl.

The Doctor: This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.

Planet of Giants - S2-E1

Trivia: This Doctor Who story was originally scripted and produced as a four-episode story, but, just two weeks before transmission, upon viewing the story, co-creators Sydney Newman and Donald Wilson felt that the final two episodes (Episode 3, 'Crisis'; and Episode 4, 'The Urge to Live') should be combined into a single episode. The new 'condensed' episode incorporated the opening titles of 'Crisis' with the closing credits of 'The Urge to Live'.

Show generally

Question: In which season and episode is Gallifrey destroyed, or is it just a shocking new plot development for the new series?

Answer: It was never destroyed on-screen; it was intact at the end of the TV movie, and destroyed by the start of the 2005 series. It was destroyed in the novel "The Ancestor Cell," but in a completely different manner to what happened in the series.
