Image of the Fendahl - S15-E3

Continuity mistake: In the opening TARDIS scene, after the TARDIS lurches from the time scanner, the Doctor's hat rack can be seen standing upright. Then Leela picks it up in the next scene.

Underworld - S15-E5

Revealing mistake: The CSO caves are awful throughout, but one of the worst incidents is in episode three when Leela talks to Idas about a revolution and they both run right through a rock.

Underworld - S15-E5

Continuity mistake: When the Doctor races out of the R1C with the fission bombs in episode four, Leela follows, carrying a shield gun. She steps into the cave and is only holding her knife. Later, she has her shield gun back.

Underworld - S15-E5

Factual error: While it's true the centre of a planet would have no net gravity, the weightless condition would be everywhere, not concentrated in a convenient shaft.

The Invasion of Time - S15-E6

Plot hole: In the middle of chasing the Doctor, Stor abandons the idea of controlling Gallifrey in favour of destroying it for no readily apparent reason.

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.

The Chase - S2-E8

Trivia: Such was the popularity of Doctor Who in Britain in the mid-1960s that even the Beatles wanted to make an appearance in the show. So a scene was written into "The Chase" to allow them to appear. The idea had been devised of including a scene on the Time and Space Visualiser depicting a Beatles fiftieth-anniversary concert in 2015, with the Fab Four dressed up as old men. John, Paul, George, and Ringo themselves were interested in the proposition, but it was vetoed by their manager, Brian Epstein. It was then thought that an appearance by the Beatles on Top of the Pops might be used instead, but no such footage was available. Fortunately, the Beatles were scheduled to perform "Ticket to Ride" at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith on April 10th, 1965, and that footage was used instead.

Season 1 generally

Question: I wanted to know what was the name of the episode where these cancerous creatures suck the bones out of you and turn you into a pile of mush - it was one of the first episodes I think.

Answer: Your right it is, "Island of Terror."

Answer: I don't think this was a Doctor Who story. It sounds more like the 1966 film "Island of Terror" (although it did star Peter Cushing who played Dr Who in two Dalek movies around the same time).
