Doctor Who

The Curse of Fenric - S26-E3

Revealing mistake: When Fenric (having possessed the body of Judson) knocks over the chess pieces on the board, watch one piece (The King) in particular. You can see a 'hinge' made of white sticky tape attached to the board and the base of the chess piece, presumably there to stop the chess piece rolling away onto the floor.

Survival - S26-E4

Revealing mistake: The shot of the two motorbikes colliding with each other and exploding into flames is very unconvincing. Watch carefully, and you can "see the join" where a shot of the two motorbikes passing each other (and NOT colliding) is replaced by a "staged" fiery explosion.

The Three Doctors - S10-E1

Other mistake: The Brigadier says UNIT HQ is 'a Top Secret establishment'. It is, in fact, so secret that it has a large sign outside informing the world not only of its function, but also the name of the commanding officer.

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.
