''A hellicopter's blades could get damaged on the way. '' | *Why didn't the Doctor just ask UNIT to send an all terrain vehicle or helicopter through the wormhole to pick up the survivors?

*Why is this the first episode to mention the recession, the episode is set in 2010, the recession should have been mentioned on the episodes [[DW]]: [[Voyage of the Damned]], [[Partners in Crime]] and the two parters [[The Sontaran Stratagem]] / [[The Poison Sky]] and [[The Stolen Earth]] / [[Journey's End]], which were set in 2009 (except for ''Voyage of the Damned'', which was set in 2008)? ''How many movies made during the Great Depression make direct reference to it, especially when it isn't relevant ot the plot? People in these other episodes likely had something else on their mind (like the whole world being choking to death in noxious smoke or being invaded by muderous robots) than overshadowed their concerns about the recession'' | *Why is this the first episode to mention the recession, the episode is set in 2010, the recession should have been mentioned on the episodes [[DW]]: [[Voyage of the Damned]], [[Partners in Crime]] and the two parters [[The Sontaran Stratagem]] / [[The Poison Sky]] and [[The Stolen Earth]] / [[Journey's End]], which were set in 2009 (except for ''Voyage of the Damned'', which was set in 2008)?

*Early in the episode, it was shown that the wormhole was very close behind the bus in the desert.

*It was obvious the bus was being followed by the police. Why didn't the driver pull over?

*This story is set after the events of [[Children of Earth]], so why doesn't Captain Magambo enquire to where the Doctor was during the 456's arrival? ''She may be under the impression that he did stop the 456; it's possible that some UNIT officals weren't informed that it was Captain Jack Harkness who stopped them.'' | |||
