Who-oops

Some of the entries below were discovered by Jon Preddle; others came via a computer bulletin board listing by Daniel O'Malley in Dublin - thanks to Lee Middleton & David Ronayne for supplying this.

Logopolis
[Part Two] When Adric provides a diversion for the policemen by faking a bicycle accident, he falls and soaks the seat of his trousers - but earlier in the scene, when he exits the TARDIS, they are already wet!

Logopolis & Castrovalva
Continuity between these two linked stories is very poor. In Logopolis the Doctor is wearing boots, but in Castrovalva he is wearing shoes; the TARDIS is parked in a different field; the security guards up on the radio telescope never come down; the others who chase Tegan, Nyssa and Adric take ages to show up, and when they do, they are different men! In Castrovalva, Nyssa and Tegan's handbags are lying on the TARDIS console - but they weren't there when Nyssa and Adric left the TARDIS in Logopolis!

Four to Doomsday
[Part One] A studio technician can be seen crouched behind a console in the foreground during the scene where Monarch tries to open the TARDIS doors.

Resurrection of the Daleks
[Part Four] The studio technician operating the sliding door to Davros's lab can be seen silhouetted behind the semi-transparent wall. When the door shuts, the shadow straightens up and moves away.

Planet of Fire
[Part Four] In the scene where the Doctor, Peri and Amyand gaze down upon the shrunken Master, the shots of the Master's control box are reversed in every subsequent shot. In some the white grid panelling is on the left, and in others it is on the right.

Remembrance of the Daleks
[Part One] The front of a camera can be seen briefly at the top right of the screen in the scene where the Doctor and Ace meet the Headmaster in the corridor.

The Happiness Patrol
[Part One] When the Doctor is repairing the buggy, one of the Happiness Patrol members runs into view in the background. Realising she's taken her cue to early, she quickly runs back out of sight.

The Curse of Fenric
[Part Four] When the Doctor and Ace flee the bunker just as it explodes, the Doctor lands in a muddy puddle. He then studies his rather muddy hand, but later, when he tweaks Ace's nose, his hand is suddenly clean!
