Correction: It is implied that she is in control of the space station. More importantly, the Matrix is the key to Time Lord power. In the episode, the Master cites his control of the Matrix as justification for ruling Gallifrey. Restoring it would be the first step toward restoring Time Lord power.

The Trial of a Time Lord 13-14 (aka The Ultimate Foe) - S23-E4

Corrected entry: The first time the 2nd Mr. Popplewick refers to the 1st Mr. Popplewick, he calls him the 'Very Junior Mr. Popplewick'. Then, for the rest of the scene he is simply referred to as the 'Junior', not the 'Very Junior'. Then the 2nd one refers to himself as a SENIOR clerk, implying there are two of them. So why say the 'Very Junior'?

Correction: They are meant to be confusing.

Correction: The term "crown" implies royalty. Gallifrey is ruled by presidents rather than kings and queens. Therefore the relics of Rassilon don't count, as he wasn't a king as such. The Doctor is splitting hairs, of course, but then the Sixth Doctor was a very pedantic incarnation.

The Trial of a Time Lord 13-14 (aka The Ultimate Foe) - S23-E4

Corrected entry: In episode 13, Glitz refers to the bronze coloured metal that decorates the court room as Maconite, saying it is very valuable. But in episode 14, he refers to a Maconite overcoat, meaning a form of restraint. The question is, why would you make straight jackets out of valuable metals?

Correction: I think the Maconite he's referring to is actually a type of wood; therefore the 'Maconite Overcoat' would be a coffin.

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'.

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.
