5 mistakes in Delta and the Bannermen - chronological order

(3 votes)

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.

Delta and the Bannermen - S24-E3

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.).

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.
