Season 20 generally

Corrected entry: The Cyber leader (black handlebars on the head) is seen being destroyed by the raston robot. It is then seen following the master accross the chess-board. The master then kills it, yet it is later seen giving the order to blow up the TARDIS.

Correction: There are three cyberleaders in 'The Five Doctors'. Each one controls a team of cybermen. Admittedly it is a little confusing as the same actors play each cyberleader and cyberlieutenant.

Arc of Infinity - S20-E1

Corrected entry: In episode 4, the Doctor Who producer at this time (John Nathan-Turner) can be seen passing behind the telephone box as the Doctor is consulting the phone book. (He's the one wearing a sheepskin coat). Nathan Turner wandered into the shot while he was "shooing" away "rubberneckers" who had gathered to watch the filming. Nathan-Turner subsequently claimed that his appearance in this Doctor Who story was a deliberate Alfred Hitchcock-style cameo...but was it? It could have been simply Nathan-Turner trying to 'cover up' the mistake.

Correction: It could have simply have been the "rubberneckers" ruining John's cameo.

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

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'.

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.
