Other mistake: In episode two, when Poul enters the room where Uvanov and D84 are holding Leela, the body of Cass breathes.
Revealing mistake: When Taren Capel is modifying a Voc robot, there is a shot of the robot's agitated hands as he reassures it. On the robot's silver gloves, the "Marigold" logo is visible. ('Marigold' make rubber gloves that are used when washing dishes). Perhaps that particular Voc robot had been assigned to dish-washing duty that day...
Continuity mistake: From time to time in episode four, the "frozen" robots on the command deck can be seen to wobble - the most noticeable is when SV7 is threatening Uvanov over the communicator.
Visible crew/equipment: In episode three, when Toos talks about the disposal of robots, a crewman can be seen behind her, toward the back of the set.
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor confronts D84, the robot is shown in profile as the Doctor forces it to speak. The movement of the actor's jaw is visible behind the mask.
Revealing mistake: Immediately after the Doctor stabs SV7 in the back of the head and the robot crashes to the floor, the next scene shows the fallen figure of SV7 in the background - breathing heavily, with his chest moving up and down.
Revealing mistake: Near the end of episode one, the Doctor peers into a hopper and sees ore piling up inside. The image of the ore wobbles back and forth.
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of episode four, when the Doctor is surrounded by robots, we initially see SV7 with *blue* eyes. Clearly someone forgot to add the glowing red-eye CSO.
Revealing mistake: In Episode 3, when Dask is cutting the wires, the second explosion happens too early.
Continuity mistake: In episode four, when the Doctor is patching the communicator into the android's head, he takes off the communicator's top, yet it is back on a few seconds later.
Visible crew/equipment: When Leela bandages Toos' arm, a member of the crew is visible on the edge of the set.
Continuity mistake: When Toos is being hunted by a robot, she shuts the door on its hand. When you see this scene from the inside of the room, the robot's hand is trapped at a different place to the next shot, which is from outside the room.
Continuity mistake: When Uvanov captures Leela he says she has killed three people, but he only knows Chub and Cass are dead. Then Poul tells him about Kerril.
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor is trying to unlock Uvanov's cabin door, Leela goes to join him and grabs the edge of the metal railing, which bends badly and then goes back to its original shape.
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor and Leela are confined to the officer's quarters, look at Leela's eyes after she sits down; one of her brown contact lenses has fallen out, revealing her real blue eye.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Continuity mistake: Magnus Greel puts Leela in the distillation chamber and switches it on. Cue red lights, special effects, and Leela writhing about. Then the Doctor arrives and throws a battle-axe into the works. Sparks fly, and the machine stops, presumably broken. Later, however, when Greel is pushed into the chamber, it turns on and does its thing just as if nothing had happened to it. Oh, and the axe thrown earlier disappears too.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Revealing mistake: A 1970s newspaper - the headline concerns Denis Healey, Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1974-79 Labour Government - can be seen in Litefoot's laundry basket in episode three.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Continuity mistake: In episode 1, when the Doctor and Leela leave the TARDIS, the door is open and is not moving. They then walk away from the TARDIS for a few seconds. When they hear the attack on Bullard (the Cab Driver) and run past the TARDIS again, the door is magically closed.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Factual error: When The Doctor questions the arrested Chinaman in the Police Station (in episode one), the Doctor claims to be able to speak several Chinese dialects. What the Doctor actually says to the Chinaman is "How Are You?" in Cantonese, but the rest of what the Doctor says is completely improvised gibberish that SOUNDS Chinese, but is, in fact, complete nonsense.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Revealing mistake: There are *modern* power points, covered with masking tape, visible on the walls of Litefoot's laboratory. The story is set in the 1890s.
Answer: TARDISes are generally available for properly authorised use on Gallifrey; they're not usually assigned to a particular Timelord on a long-term basis. The Doctor stole his when he left his homeworld.
