Doctor Who (1963)

3 corrected entries in season 15

(3 votes)

Correction: The script specifies - and if you look closely, the action confirms - that Leela jumps out of the way of K-9's show but hits her head on the wall, knocking herself out.

Underworld - S15-E5

Corrected entry: A newly formed planet would be molten rock for several million years and thus totally impossible for human life to exist on (or in). Any spaceship caught up in such evolutionary processes would be crushed immediately.

Correction: This anomaly is explained within the story. The "planet" has formed by the gravitational effect of the ship attracting a build-up of rocks and debris around the outside of it.

Image of the Fendahl - S15-E3

Corrected entry: These events take place on Lammas Eve, 31st July, yet everybody in the bar Leela visits wears winter clothing and the woods are shrouded in mist. It must have been the coldest July on record...

Correction: Perhaps it was. England is not known for its summery spells. This could also have been influenced by the Fendahl.

Doctor Who mistake picture

The Three Doctors - S10-E1

Revealing mistake: (Part 4) After Omega takes off his mask and looks in the mirror, when he sees that his physical body doesn't exist he puts his mask back on and screams, but when he shouts, "If I exist only by my will, then my will is to destroy," Omega's mask pops up off his face, and we can see the actor's blackened face as he shouts the last bit of his dialogue. (00:07:10)

The Doctor: This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.

Show generally

Question: In which season and episode is Gallifrey destroyed, or is it just a shocking new plot development for the new series?

Answer: It was never destroyed on-screen; it was intact at the end of the TV movie, and destroyed by the start of the 2005 series. It was destroyed in the novel "The Ancestor Cell," but in a completely different manner to what happened in the series.
