Corrected entry: The Brigadier met the Doctor previously in 'The Web of Fear' and 'The Invasion', both Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) stories. In 'The Web of Fear', the TARDIS was trapped in the tunnels, not to be seen until the end of the story...and in 'The Invasion' the TARDIS was invisible. So how does the Brigdier know that the Police Box is anything but an emergency phone booth?

1 corrected entry in Spearhead From Space
Mission to the Unknown - S3-E2
Plot hole: The Daleks announce their secret plan on the city's external loudspeaker system, where Cory hears it. It can hardly be a 'secret' plan if it is broadcast for all to hear...
Castrovalva - S19-E1
The Doctor: That's the trouble with regeneration, you never quite know what you're going to get. (00:12:15)
Planet of the Spiders - S11-E5
Trivia: The first thing the Third Doctor does on-screen is collapse out of the TARDIS, which is also the last thing he does in that incarnation.
Earthshock - S19-E6
Question: In Earthshock, season 19, at the end of episode 3, the Cyber Leader views his troops marching down the corridor. Each column is headed by a Cyber Leader. Is this a mistake, or is there more than one Cyber Leader allowed per army?
Answer: In 'The Five Doctors', three separate Cyberleaders are definitely used. So it's likely that Cyberleaders are like unit commanders, of which a fair-sized army might have several.

Correction: At the end of The Invasion, the departure of the TARDIS, now visible in its normal police box form, is seen by UNIT's Captain Turner. As the Brigadier's right hand man, I'm pretty sure that Turner would relay the information about the TARDIS's appearance back to the Brigadier.
