Doctor Who

Planet of Giants - S2-E1

Character mistake: The miniaturized TARDIS crew never interact with the other characters in this story, because, as the Doctor points out, the 'giants' will be unable to hear them, as their voices will be on a different wavelength. So why does the Doctor later suggest using the telephone to try to call for help?

The Dalek Invasion of Earth - S2-E2

Other mistake: Ian has completely forgotten the distinctive shape of a Dalek. It's only when the Dalek starts speaking that Ian says to the Doctor, "that voice". Yet later when they are at the saucer, he talks to the Doctor about the new back of the Dalek having a disk on them now.

The Chase - S2-E8

Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 5) When Vicki is in the jungle she happens upon the TARDIS and bangs on the door begging to be let in. In the next shot we can see the boom pole/mic hovering in the background, then a hand appears which seems to guide the actress to head in that direction. (00:07:45)

The Chase - S2-E8

Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 4) After Ian shudders from the apparition he continues to follow The Doctor down the hall, and the camera casts a shadow on Ian. Then, when The Doctor finds the stairs leading to the laboratory he tells Ian he must see what's on the table. Just as Ian states his displeasure at the thought, the boom mic (and its shadow) pops up into view at the bottom of the screen, in front of Ian. (00:05:15)

The Dalek Invasion of Earth - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: In episode 1, one of the windows on the TARDIS is leaning in, but by the time we get to episode 6 it has managed to fix itself. Also when the bridge falls down you can see the poster through the gap, showing that there is no back to the TARDIS.

The Space Museum - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: In episode one, Vicki passes her hand through a museum display, making the point that the crew cannot interact with their environment. A moment later, she bumps into a statue, making it wobble.

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

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).
