Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Smile

You are exploring the Discontinuity Index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.
Please discuss only those whole stories which have already been released, and obey our spoiler policy.

This page is for discussing the ways in which Smile doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, please do not sign your posts. Also, keep all posts about the same continuity error under the same bullet point. You can add a new point by typing:

* This is point one.
::This is a counter-argument to point one.
:::This is a counter-argument to the counter-argument above
* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 

• Nardole acts coldly towards Bill, even though he showed no animosity towards her in the previous episode.

I think this is because he knows that the Doctor is planning to go "off-world" and is perhaps simply annoyed with the situation as a whole.

• Why does the Doctor neglect using his TARDIS to fly straight into the ship in the city? Why run the risk of being attacked by the bots again?
