Corrected entry: In episode seven the Doctor says that he is sending Zoe and Russell back to the 1917 (World War I) zone, but instead they arrive in the American Civil War zone.

Corrected entry: The Nuton power complex contains a cyclotron which, Winser explains, can accelerate atomic particles to the speed of light and beyond. There's even an instrument which measures the effect, with a scale marked in "x light". Unfortunately, relativity states that you can't accelerate particles to the speed of light (let alone beyond it), because at that point the particles would have infinite mass.
Correction: There is a theory that a cylinder of sufficient density would cause light to loop around it and accelorate. The particles wouldn't be breaking the local speed of light but would be breaking the universal one. The cylindrical nature of the chamber may generate this effect. This is science fiction so you have to assume that scientists found a way around the problem.

Corrected entry: Near the end of episode five, Tommy rescues the Doctor and Sarah from the cellar. The spider-controlled men pursue and start banging on the cellar door. When they do, it wobbles quite a bit.
Correction: Doors often wobble if hammered on, particularly old ones. Not a mistake.

Corrected entry: The Clantons are amazingly bad shots. The Earps walk slowly down the street at the start of the climactic gunfight and don't get hit even once by the hail of gunfire.
Correction: Johny Ringo instructs them beforehand to start shooting before the Earps are within range.
