World War Three (2) - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode there is a side shot of the Doctor leaving the TARDIS in which you can see inside, but the control room isn't visible, just the side of the police box, with light from outside shining through the window. (00:38:00)

Torchwood (2006)

Show generally

Question: If Owen and Toshiko were already working for Torchwood's Cardiff branch before Torchwood One collapsed, what were they doing in London at the time of "Aliens of London"? Surely there must have been another medic in the region.

Josman

Chosen answer: As long as Jack's been in charge of it, Torchwood Cardiff has had a different agenda than Torchwood One. Tosh and Owen were there to watch for signs of the 10th Doctor, however, it was the 9th that showed up when the ship crashed in London.

Help! (1965)

Trivia: Between "Help" and "Help!" the title "Eight arms to hold you" was considered. But The Beatles vetoed this as it would have meant having to write a song called "Eight arms to hold you."

Love Actually (2003)

Question: Why are Girls Aloud credited with being on the soundtrack, when that isn't their version of "Jump" which the Prime Minister listens to?

Josman

Chosen answer: Irrelevant when it comes to soundtracks, Girls Aloud released a version of Jump to coincide with the movie's release and the video for the song featured scenes from the movie, hence its inclusion.

Trivia: Most of what Kryten reads off the DVD cover is all written on the actual "Back to Earth" DVD. But he also reads something about them visiting a sci-fi shop, which isn't written on the cover.
