10 Doctor Who “Mistakes” That Were Totally Intentional

[@DrewGJackson]

What we know as the Elizabeth Tower was only named as such in 2012. The Slitheen ship would have hit the St Stephen’s Tower in the 2005 episode of Doctor Who.

[@gavla-82]

But at the time of writing the script and recording this video, Elizabeth Tower is correct. So both are correct. 👍🏻

[@SleepyHarryZzz]

It's rare I get to correct a correction, but "St Stephen's Tower" was itself just a popular nickname. In as official a capacity as it could be at the time, it was simply called "Clock Tower" prior to the 2012 renaming.

The Vikings in The Time Meddler also had horned helmets ("What do you think that is? A space helmet for a cow?") so making Capaldi's Vikings have them too is good continuity.

[@selvahechicera4292]

There were a LOT of Vikings. More of a job than a nationality if what I have been told is correct. And, while I now that they did not, in general, have horns on their helmets, there is no reason that one particular group of them might have that as their signature motif. Why is this a reply to Solar Penguin instead of it's own post? I do not know. But I'm not retyping it. Sorry S.P.

[@selvahechicera4292]

@@jonathanday6692 I've heard the "they would get grabbed in battle" argument before. Does not hold water. Vikings did not tend to use weapons that would let people get close enough that the advantage gained by the enemy would outweigh the coolness factor of having the horns. And bad traditions I hope do get abandoned. But it can take forever. (Has Alabama gotten rid of it's "Romeo and Juliet laws" yet?) Could one or two viking groups have had horned helmets? Certainly. It's not like there was one unified Viking nation that all wore the same outfits. But one or two smaller groups probably did. Statistically it's even relatively likely since there were a lot of them. An entire town? Eh... probably not. But it's not impossible.

Technically, Paul McGann is the longest serving Doctor - he took on the role of The Doctor in 1996 and regenerated in the Night of the Doctor in 2013 - 17 years between regenerations. Whilst he only appeared on screen during this time on two occasions, he kept Doctor Who fans appetite for new stories in the audio adventures and his eight incarnation of the Doctor appeared in many books.

Intentionally leaving a "error" in the final edit is not the same as deliberately putting an error in... you could have had Clara say "oh she's removed the stairs, thanks dear!" and the error is noted (and rendered a "not error") in one swoop. Clearly they just assumed no one would notice... making it an UNintentional error.

[@benlime1235]

Came here to say this. Almost none of these mistakes are 'intentional'. One of the few that was, when Eleven had his jacket back, wasn't a 'mistake' at all.

[@9nikola]

In the case of the stairs, it's not really an error when the set is deliberately changed to accommodate the scene. At worst it's an intentional continuity error, but really it's just a detail showing that the TARDIS can and will change itself to let a motorcycle pass through.

[@mousermind]

*an "error" *"Oh, she's *Clearly, Also, strictly speaking, it's not an error if it's left intentionally. The video is about _perceived_ mistakes that were actually intentionally left, either as red herrings or because they didn't feel the issue was worth redoing a shot, prop, or whatnot, which is why the word is in quotes in the title. Your point is pretty moot.

[@Cludnugget]

In amongst all this pedantry, I find it quite amusing that you've all missed the fact that the word used in the video title is not "Error", but actually "Mistake" 😉 Edit: Apologies, @Benlime1235 did actually get the wording right.

To the nuWhovians who haven't explored the classic Series yet (it's all on BritBox!) both "Genesis of the Daleks" (4th) and "Battlefield" (7th) are awesome stories. I don't really like "Logopolis"; 4th Doctor deserved a much better ending. "Battlefield" brings back the now-married Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, and also has a scene in which Sylvester McCoy literally saved Sophie Aldred's life (water-tank scene).

I can think of one 'error' that might be intentional. In "Dr. Who and the Dalek's" starring Peter Cushing as the Dr. the Tardis doors open outward in keeping with the words on the sign on front, but in every other case that I've seen the doors open inward.

[@Croftice1]

The sign is for the compartment with the phone, it doesn't relate to the actual door. While the real police boxes did indeed open outwards and not inwards, the TARDIS only uses them as disguise, so it's free to open its door any way it feels like. Which brings us to the Doctor's wife episode, where Idris (the living matrix of the Doctor's TARDIS in a human body) is scolding the Doctor about this exact thing. Again she uses the phone compartment instructions as a reason, which simply is wrong. And while the real world boxes do compliment her argument with the Doctor, she herself does the very same thing, whenever the Doctor snaps his fingers, what way does the TARDIS open? Yep, inwards!

[@michaeltortorice9876]

"Timelordyness" - the word I never realized I needed, but 100% needed.

[@mkdrivingzone]

Not sure if it was intentional but when Harold Saxon gases the cabinet, his gas mask is initially upside down and is then flipped the correct way later in the scene.

[@S-Fan2006]

I noticed that mistake myself. I’m not sure how it happened without anyone noticing but I know that every shot was done with the same camera, and, although I’m not certain and could be wrong about this, I think the way they’d film each scene is that they’d have the actors repeat what they say in every shot while the producers shoot said scene from a different angle each time and then the editors would look at everything before isolating and using what they think are the best of each shot before putting those shots together into one complete scene (if you know what I mean).

It's not an intentional mistake, but in the second half of the series 3 two parter Human Nature and The Family of Blood, there's a shot where the scarecrows are about to attack the school and the camera pans back. If you look at the character Son of Mine, for a few seconds it's not the same actor, but when the camera pans back in, and he looks the same again. I think the reason was the main actor wasn't available at the time they filmed those scenes. Doesn't matter though, still a fantastic episode! Great video by the way, really interesting! ❤️😊

[@Croftice1]

The Son of Mine, is that his name? I mean they do indeed use that to identify themselves, but only refering the other characters of the family like the son saying "Mother of mine", or "Sister of mine". It sounds weird as the actual name of the character. They are actually credited as their original characters before the alien family took over them, like Jeremy Baines, instead of Son of Mine.

Regarding the boots, when Tom was given a new costume for season 18 designer June Hudson paired It with a pair of shoes and also socks. Tom had worn his buccaneer boots since The Deadly Assassin and he did wear the shoes for The Leisure Hive and Meglos but switched back during the E-Space set of stories (Full Circle, State of Decay and Warriors Gate) then kept 'em for The Keeper of Traken and Logopolis. Peter's first full story was Four to Doomsday and so when it came to Castrovalva the full season 18 costume was worn as it was originally meant to be, resulting in Pete wearing shoes and then discarding it as he wandered around the TARDIS dealing with the after effects of the regeneration, before finishing up with the cricket outfit which had been made four stories previously.

The oft-cited change of clothes from 13 to 14 is a practical matter that Tennant is a head taller than Whittaker. In-universe, it could be that reverting to a previous face means they already knew what to wear and didn't need to select a new outfit after they'd seen the new body.

[@russellmartin242]

The Newman part of the name is after Sidney Newman who commissioned Doctor who in the first place

[@Croftice1]

Joan Redfern basically named her daughter after "John Smith's mother". In the episode "Family of Blood" (the second part of the two parter "Human nature" & "Family of Blood") Joan is interrogating John Smith about his past (in order to find out, if he's really this mysterious Doctor character) and he stated, that his parents were Verity and Sydney (a nod to Verity Lambert and Sydney Newman indeed). And this daughter then married someone called "Newman" (preferably with Sydney as their first name) and named their daughter also Verity. It's not uncommon, that some people share their names with their parents. So there you have Verity Newman, the granddaughter of Joan Redfern.

[@brianartillery]

I always wondered if Verity Newman knew who The Doctor was - had he made himself known to her in the interim? Or when he saw her in the bookshop was that the first time they had met?

[@ivymoon5084]

I think the idea is that they had not met but based on the way the Doctor seemed to care personally about Joan and what Verity knew from her grandmothers accounts, she seems to work out who he is, accept that its some weird miracle meeting him or whatever and get on with life, believing the impossible.

There other continuity errors between Logopolis and Castrovalva too such as its clearly a different time of year and the trees are green now (L filmed Decemeber '80; C Sept '81), his hair has gone from brown to blonde and something to do with the ambulance saying sussex on the side and the Pharos enclosure being established in Cambridge I think (tbf, they're at a completely different location altogether so amazing that didn't end up being more jarring xD). Also the presence of Tegan's bag when they enter the TARDIS contradicts as she wasn't carrying it in previous scene/s. But oh well xD

Was the name Verity in honor of producer Verity?

The iron cross may have been the German military symbol but was not a symbol used by, and corrupted as the svastika was, the Nazi party. Vikings is a modern term. In their time, they were called Norsemen.

[@jonathanday6692]

Old Norse manuscripts used the word viking, but as a verb. You could go a-viking. Norsemen refers to people of a specific region (btw, of both genders, a fifth of all vikings were women) but people from outside that region were also said to be a-viking if raiding.

[@KaptainCanuck]

@@jonathanday6692, yup, and modern people can INTERPRET old and ancient languages but are, in good probablily inaccurate or plain wrong. Also, a verb does not(always) make it also a noun. I bet you the Latin taught today would be laughable to the original speakers.

While some of these have in-univetse explanations, most of the explanations were behind-the-scenes. While still interesting, I confess that I find that slightly disappointing.

[@jandraelune1]

5:00 That is Norse, Dan, or Northman. Viking means raiding, Vikingr means raider.

[@stevetheduck1425]

The Norse and Danes were of a number of tribes, including the Geats, or the Rus (who did quite well in Rus-sia).
