Correction: It wouldn't be the first time he's got the coordinates wrong.

The Dominators - S6-E1

Corrected entry: The chart of the radiation on the island is wrong. The dialogue says it has steadily decreased over the past 172 years then suddenly disappeared. But the chart says it initially dropped rapidly for a few years, then started to fall at a slower rate for about a hundred years, then changed again and dropped to zero over fifty years. However, the way radiation disperses is anything but steady. It will continually slow down in its dispersal, forming a curve on a graph.

Correction: Actually, radiation will decay from an atomic bomb explosion at varying rates, depending upon which radioactive elements are dominant.

Correction: The Doctor studied medicine under Joseph Lister in 1885. While he presumably hasn't taken the exams required to officially become an MD, he does have the skills to be considered qualified.

The War Games - S6-E7

Corrected entry: After the second doctor's regeneration, the TARDIS lands in a field with trees around it. When the third doctor comes out of the TARDIS, the background changes completely.

Correction: Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the Third Doctor not actually appear at the end of "The War Games"? As I understand it, the serial ends with Two being punished by the Time Lords by being made to regenerate, but the results of the regeneration aren't seen until Three arrives on Earth at the beginning of "Spearhead From Space."

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'.

More trivia for Doctor Who

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.
