How do we know that it was a production error, and not something caused by the [[Time Field]]? --[[user_talk:trlkly|trlkly]] 03:22, May 2, 2010 (UTC) | How do we know that it was a production error, and not something caused by the [[Time Field]]? --[[user_talk:trlkly|trlkly]] 03:22, May 2, 2010 (UTC) | ||
: Well, if you're going to include the jacket thing, which has a very logical explanation (look at the [[The Eleventh Hour]]), then I think the clock should go back. Apparently it is policy to count it an error until it is officially explained. --[[user_talk:trlkly|trlkly]] 12:16, May 2, 2010 (UTC) | |||
: Is this regarding clock Amy's bedside clock at the end of the episode? Because that is''' totally''' wrong!! In the episode It's 11.59am, then changes to 12.00pm, with a date change;and clocks just don't work that way!! (If it's approaching midnight then the Clock should say 11.59pm then change to 12.00am, with a date change; if it's approaching midday the clock should say 11.59am then change to 12.00pm, but the date should remain the same.) What the hell is going on? Granted it's probably not a production error, because you would have to fiddle to get a clock to display like that, but it deserves a mention.[[Special:Contributions/86.138.134.150|86.138.134.150]] 20:23, May 2, 2010 (UTC) | |||
: It is definitely not a mistake. Go back and watch The Eleventh Hour. At timestamp 1hr:01minute:26seconds (approximately) there is a clock in the TARDIS that exhibits exactly the same behavior. It jumps from 11:59am to 12:00pm... but the TARDIS is vanishing from the middle of the night outside Amy's house. I'm going to go ahead and move this "discontinuity" out of the Production Errors section -- there's no way that they'd make the same "mistake" twice in 5 episodes.

:: Agreed, IMHO there's an 'It's a wonderful life' thing going on here. The Doctor repeats about Amy getting married in the '''morning''', then the clock changes from 11.59 to 12 pm ie noon, so the morning doesn't happen and therefore Amy can't get married. | |||

:: Also if i may point out when the doctor comes back to Amy he places his hands over hers, note well the lack of shirt sleeves. In the previous shot the sleeves are down and when we go back immediately to the doctor his sleeves are still down and he is not out of breath and has seemed he was there for the whole time. One last thing he has his jacket on as he kisses Amy but the angel's clearly stole his jacket and they weren't going to let go of that. | |||

:: Also at 28.32 the camera moves closer to focus on Amy's face as she concentrates and remembers whatever it was the Doctor told her when she was 7, just as she's been thinking about angels, the cleric not remembering the others and so what happens if you never existed at all. What would be the repurcusions if Amy never lived? Bracewell would have exploded, Prisoner Zero would not have been recaptured, so twice already Amy has effectively saved the human race / Earth from being totally destroyed! (Yes, it's a bit Turn Left!). So what is she and/or Rory destined to do at the opening of the Pandorica that the crack is trying to stop ?

: 12pm is not noon. Neither is 12am. "12 Noon" and "12 Midnight" are the official designations.Technically, the clocks, being digital, should move to 00.00, but hey.... [[Special:Contributions/86.178.234.243|86.178.234.243]] 10:56, May 3, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:: Technically true, but try finding a clock where am and pm vanish at noon or midnight lol.<br /> | |||

Nice spot on the Clock in 'The Eleventh Hour' - it is doing the same (showing noon, when it's clearly midnight). Are we now accepting that these little 'production errors' that have bugged us from the start aren't errors at all? I'm now almost certain Moffat lied about that, and they all hold some significance - I won't go any further because that would be forum speculation, but there is something about that particular time.

: Plus. Quote from Moffat: "a television series which embraces both the ideas of parallel universes and the concept of changing time can't have a continuity error—it's impossible for ''Doctor Who'' to get it wrong, because we can just say 'he changed time'". Proof enough, I think so ~Coolio~ | |||
: Well, we finally have a strong clue that this is fully intentional: In [[The Pandorica Opens]], when the Doctor and Amy arrive in ancient Britain, the Doctor says something like "1.02am ... no, pm! No, A.D.!" [[User:Hack59|Hack59]] 12:14, June 20, 2010 (UTC) | |||
