Suggested correction: In the Doctor Who universe, the saying "The Doctor lies" is a well-known concept, particularly highlighted by River Song. While not a literal rule, it's a reminder that the Doctor is capable of deception and often uses lies or half-truths to achieve his goals, even if it's for the greater good or to protect others. This isn't necessarily malicious; it's often a pragmatic approach to complex situations, especially when dealing with time travel and high-stakes scenarios.

Delta and the Bannermen - S24-E3

Continuity mistake: Due to some sloppy editing of the "cliffhanger ending" at the end of episode 2, and again at the start of episode 3, the Doctor, Mel and Burton are seen to freeze in place for no apparent reason, just BEFORE we see the Bannermen line up and aim their guns at them.

Plot hole: In episode 3, the swarm of "bees" attacking Gavrok and his men look nothing like real bees, being far too large when they approach the camera's position. (In fact, stock footage of a swarm of locusts was used.).

Terror of the Zygons - S13-E1

The Doctor: You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle, if you pardon the expression.

Planet of Giants - S2-E1

Trivia: This Doctor Who story was originally scripted and produced as a four-episode story, but, just two weeks before transmission, upon viewing the story, co-creators Sydney Newman and Donald Wilson felt that the final two episodes (Episode 3, 'Crisis'; and Episode 4, 'The Urge to Live') should be combined into a single episode. The new 'condensed' episode incorporated the opening titles of 'Crisis' with the closing credits of 'The Urge to Live'.

Logopolis - S18-E7

Question: If The Master had closed the CVE it would have resulted in the total destruction of the universe. Would he have really closed the CVE if the peoples of the universe hadn't responded to him? Isn't that the complete opposite of what The Master wants, i.e. complete control of the universe? Also, if the universe had been destroyed, who and what would he have left to control?

Chosen answer: The Master is insane. If he can't control the universe, he'd rather see it destroyed.
