Visible crew/equipment: Once the doctor arrives at the pub in Yorkshire to 'investigate' it (as usual) rains. It is plain visible that the rain is water sprayed from several hoses.

Continuity mistake: The level of liquid in the doctor's beer mug changes noticeably between shots; the mug fills itself up again just before he leaves the pub. (00:47:10)

Question: When David transforms, why do his eyes stay shut through most of the change except when his hand changes?
