Corrected entry: At the climax, the Doctor and Morbius engage in a mental duel. When the Doctor appears to be losing, the faces of the First Doctor appears, followed by several other adult male faces in various period clothing. The suggestion appears to be that these are previous incarnations of the Doctor prior to William Hartnell's version. Indeed, this was the idea at the time the story was broadcast (the faces themselves were those of various production members). However, if the William Hartnell incarnation was not the first Doctor Who, but the fourth (at least) that goes against the entire continuity of every Doctor Who story..

1 corrected entry in The Brain of Morbius
Planet of the Spiders - S11-E5
Plot hole: At the climax of episode 2, the Doctor is about to catch Lupton when the latter simply teleports to safety. So why didn't he do that in the first place, before engaging in a 15-minute chase?
The Doctor: This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.
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.
