Doctor Who

The Robots of Death - S14-E5

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of episode four, when the Doctor is surrounded by robots, we initially see SV7 with *blue* eyes. Clearly someone forgot to add the glowing red-eye CSO.

The Robots of Death - S14-E5

Revealing mistake: When the Doctor and Leela are confined to the officer's quarters, look at Leela's eyes after she sits down; one of her brown contact lenses has fallen out, revealing her real blue eye.

The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6

Revealing mistake: At various points in the series, Mr. Sin is obviously a dummy and not an actor. But the most obvious is during the last fight when Sin jumps the Doctor. After a struggle, cut to a forward angle and the Doctor grabs and throws an obvious dummy to the ground.

Underworld - S15-E5

Revealing mistake: The CSO caves are awful throughout, but one of the worst incidents is in episode three when Leela talks to Idas about a revolution and they both run right through a rock.

The Pirate Planet - S16-E2

Revealing mistake: There are times in this episode where the strings holding up the Captain's trophies are visible. Additionally, the "billions of tons" of planet sways back and forth slightly.

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)

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.
