Delta and the Bannermen - S24-E3

Continuity mistake: The Doctor can be seen wearing glasses in some long shots of him riding a motor bike. Normally, Sylvester McCoy (who played the Doctor at this time) removed his glasses before filming. Seems as though he either forgot, or could not ride a motorbike without them.

Delta and the Bannermen - S24-E3

Continuity mistake: Due to some sloppy editing of the "cliffhanger ending" at the end of episode 2, and again at the start of episode 3, the Doctor, Mel and Burton are seen to freeze in place for no apparent reason, just BEFORE we see the Bannermen line up and aim their guns at them.

Mistakes

Mission to the Unknown - S3-E2

Plot hole: The Daleks announce their secret plan on the city's external loudspeaker system, where Cory hears it. It can hardly be a 'secret' plan if it is broadcast for all to hear...

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

Trivia

The Chase - S2-E8

Trivia: Such was the popularity of Doctor Who in Britain in the mid-1960s that even the Beatles wanted to make an appearance in the show. So a scene was written into "The Chase" to allow them to appear. The idea had been devised of including a scene on the Time and Space Visualiser depicting a Beatles fiftieth-anniversary concert in 2015, with the Fab Four dressed up as old men. John, Paul, George, and Ringo themselves were interested in the proposition, but it was vetoed by their manager, Brian Epstein. It was then thought that an appearance by the Beatles on Top of the Pops might be used instead, but no such footage was available. Fortunately, the Beatles were scheduled to perform "Ticket to Ride" at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith on April 10th, 1965, and that footage was used instead.

Questions

Show generally

Question: If the Doctor gets a TARDIS, does that mean other Timelords get a TARDIS as well?

Answer: TARDISes are generally available for properly authorised use on Gallifrey; they're not usually assigned to a particular Timelord on a long-term basis. The Doctor stole his when he left his homeworld.
