Question: When the boat first starts sinking, some nameless crew members are shown trying to sort things out. But I don't remember them appearing again, even when the DJs were being rescued. Did they drown?

The Ice Warriors - S5-E3

Factual error: It is stated that removing all the plants caused carbon dioxide levels to drop. But plants absorb carbon dioxide, so removing them would create an increase.

Josman

Trivia: One of AD1's members also played the bank manager in the first film.

Josman

The Invasion - S6-E3

Trivia: In the animated reconstruction, released in 2006, the words "Bad Wolf" can be seen on a wall at one point. The phrase was a major plot point in the first season of the new series, where it turned out in the season finale, "The Parting of the Ways", that companion Rose Tyler had scattered them across time and space as a message to herself while temporarily possessing the power of the entire Time Vortex.

Josman

The War Games - S6-E7

Easter egg: On the second disk, go to the subtitles menu, scroll to the second option down and press right. This will bring up the words "Doctor Who" underneath. Press enter to watch him standing trial before two sock puppets.

Josman

The Chase - S2-E8

Question: It's stated in The Sarah Jane Adventures that Ian and Barbara haven't aged since the 60s. Why?

Josman

The War Games - S6-E7

Factual error: The Doctor meets Jamie at a time after the Battle of Culloden. But here Jamie says he met him in 1745. Culloden took place in 1746.

Josman

Revealing mistake: In many of the scenes which are supposed to be taking place in zero gravity, the womens' hair still falls in the normal way instead of floating.

Josman

The Next Doctor - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When the Doctor grabs the rope there are several metres more behind him. But, as he's hoisted off the ground, he is almost at the end. (00:03:34)

Josman

Season 20 generally

Plot hole: In "The Five Doctors", Susan tells Turlough that she can pilot the TARDIS to some extent. During series 1 and 2, it was clear that she couldn't pilot it at all. She couldn't have been taught between episodes as the Doctor had little idea himself at the time.

Josman

Destiny of the Daleks - S17-E1

Plot hole: The Daleks spend a lot of time and effort mining down to where Davros is, despite the fact that there is a window on that level and Davros is on the ground floor.

Josman

Logopolis - S18-E7

Continuity mistake: The Doctor somehow manages to secure his scarf across the catwalk, despite having only gone on seconds before the Master. He then manages to put it on again during the seconds it takes for the Master to alter the angle.

Josman

Revealing mistake: As the boat is in its final minutes, two of the crew are shown swimming across the deck to get to the dry part. But once they've climbed up, their clothes are still dry.

Josman

Continuity mistake: People are often shown listening to the radio at completely different times of day to the times shown on the boat.

Josman

The Androids of Tara - S16-E4

Revealing mistake: When K-9 is cutting through the wall of the hut, the cut overtakes his laser at one point.

Josman

Show generally

Question: My understanding of The Daleks is that they draw their power from their vertical shoulder slats. The new paradigm Daleks have no shoulder slats, so where are they drawing their power from?

Josman

Utopia (1) - S3-E11

Question: When Professer Yana is beginning to realise who he really is, he hears the voices of previous Masters. Could someone tell me where these audio clips were taken from?

Josman

Revealing mistake: When the Brigadier is using a flare to ward off a dinosaur in the tunnel, the smoke instantaneously vanishes as it hits the split screen.

Josman

Tooth and Claw - S2-E5

Trivia: When the Doctor is pretending to be Scottish, he gives his name as "Doctor James McCrimmon." The Second Doctor had a Scottish companion called Jamie McCrimmon.

Josman

Colony in Space - S8-E4

Plot hole: Jo is surprisingly skeptical about the TARDIS being able to move, considering she saw it dematerialise in the last episode.

Josman

The Mind of Evil - S8-E2

Question: Why does this serial only survive in black and white. If it was made in colour, why did the BBC have black and white copies in the first place?

Josman

Series 11 Episode 1 - S11-E1

Continuity mistake: During Jeremy's timed lap in his police car, Richard and James watch him go from the start/finish line. But, when James comments about Jeremy having unbalanced the wheels, they are standing in a completely different part of the track. They then return to the line as Jeremy finishes.

Josman

Revealing mistake: When the resistance are storming the landing bay, one of them punches at least a foot to the right of a guard's face, but he still collapses.

Josman

Time Crash - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of "Last of the Time Lords", the Doctor flicks two switches on the console just before the Titanic hits. In the same scene in "Time Crash", the last control he hits is a large button.

Josman

The Gunfighters - S3-E8

Other mistake: In part one, one of the gunmen shoots at a bottle behind the bar and it takes several seconds for the bullet to travel only a few feet.

Josman

The Age of Steel (2) - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Pete Tyler holds the sonic screwdriver against a section of rope next to his leg, but it breaks below his feet.

Josman

The Fires of Pompeii - S4-E2

Question: Exactly what part did The Doctor play in the great fire of Rome?

Josman

Show generally

Question: Out of all the robotic arms The Daleks could have equipped themselves with, why did they select toilet plungers?

Josman

Question: Anyone who's read the seventh book will know that Harry misses something very important in the room of requirement (I'm being vague here to avoid spoilers.) Is said item ever shown in this film?

Josman

Gunmen of the Apocalypse - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: The Cat brings down the town sign by shooting the right hand side of it. Seconds later, when they pick Kryten up, the sign is hanging in front of the Livery building, which would only have been possible if he'd shot the left hand side.

Josman

The Stolen Earth (1) - S4-E12

Revealing mistake: When Torchwood is transmitting a signal to the Doctor, there is an overhead shot of Cardiff in which several shoppers are idly walking through apparently deserted streets. (00:31:55)

Josman

Audio problem: When Marty is playing the intro to "Johnny B. Goode" you can hear some cymbals in the background. But you can see behind him that the drummer isn't hitting any. (01:27:30)

Josman

Show generally

Continuity mistake: At the end of series 13, after Richard uses a cherry picker to stick a cool wall picture out of Jeremy's reach, Jeremy jams the controls and goes to interview Jay Leno. But throughout the interview, the cool wall is visible in the background and the cherry picker has gone. Afterwards, Richard is back in the same place without having had time to move.

Josman

Trivia: Douglas Adams makes several cameo appearences in the series. A drinker in the pub in part one, the man walking into the sea and a member of the Cirius Cybernetics marketing division in part two.

Josman

Other mistake: During the first shot of the 1000 ships, oarsmen can be seen rowing, but their oars are not disturbing the water. Yet as they approach the beach, the shot is from the same distance and now splashes can be seen.

Josman

Trivia: The chase scene through Paris broke The Blues Brothers record for most cars smashed up on screen.

Josman

Backwards - S3-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Kryten ejects Rimmer from Starbug, the cable lifting him up can be seen above him.

Josman

Season 3 generally

Continuity mistake: Starbug 1 is abandoned on backwards Earth. But it still appears twice more in this series.

Josman

Deliberate mistake: When Ringo sprays his assassin with orange juice, it doesn't reach as far as the sofa. But it still splashes over the inch-high Paul. Even if it had flown that far, Paul is on the far side of the sofa and the angle is impossible.

Josman

My Malpractice Decision (aka My MalPractical Decision) - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Doug first enters the quarantine room, the notices on the door don't match the ones visible when Elliot is talking to him.

Josman

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)

Josman

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

Continuity mistake: When Duane and Blaine burst into the monster truck rally, a hub-cap comes off one of the front wheels. But, for the rest of the scene, both hub-caps are still in place.

Josman

Audio problem: During the final concert, Ringo's drumming is frequently out of sync with the sounds heard.

Josman

Factual error: During "School Challenge" the volume of a sphere is given as Pi R cubed. It should be four thirds Pi R cubed.

Josman

Continuity mistake: When the soldiers have the man tied to some wine barrels, they begin filling a metal jug, but then they throw a wooden mug over his head.

Josman

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."

Josman

Time Crash - S3-E15

Question: Peter Davison makes a reference to a group called Lynda. Is this the same group from "Love and Monsters" and, if so, how does he know about them?

Josman

Amy and Amiability - S3-E5

Question: Who did the Shadow's voice when she is pretending to be a man?

Josman

Revealing mistake: When Anabelle smashes the statue, her phone disappears. The statue just seems to spontaneously shatter.

Josman

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

The Stolen Earth (1) - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: At the end, when the Doctor is watching his hand starting to glow, shots from his point of view show that he's holding it vertically. But shots from the opposite view show that he's holding it horizontally. (00:43:39)

Josman

Waiting For God - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer first realises that his files are unflattering, the screen first from the right on the computer bank shows writing. But a change of view later, Holly is on the same screen. He does not have time to move.

Josman

The Runaway Bride - S3-E14

Character mistake: When the Doctor is taking Donna to 4.6 billion BC to watch the formation of the Earth, he says that it is the furthest back the TARDIS has ever been. But in the 5th Doctor episode "Castrovalva", the TARDIS drifted to 13.2 billion BC and the formation of the galaxy. (00:40:35)

Josman

Continuity mistake: When Marvin is holding the point of view gun, there is an empty space behind him where Arthur's caravan was a moment ago.

Josman

Back to Earth (Part Two) - S9-E2

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.

Josman

Amy and Amiability - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When the Shadow shoots at Baldrick to get rid of him, she is aiming over his head but the shot lands at his feet.

Josman

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When The Stig first stops for fuel, during the Caterham challenge, Richard is shown looking at the map of his progress and you can see that he is somewhere between London and Oxford, even though we saw him pass this point earlier.

Josman

The Shakespeare Code - S3-E2

Factual error: The Globe has (and had) 20 sides, not 14.
