Production errors
If you'd like to talk about narrative problems with this story — like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories — please go to this episode's discontinuity discussion.
- The Sonic Screwdriver is clearly seen within the TARDIS in the cut scene when The Doctor asks Rory to retrieve it through a portal.
- Rory is able to pass through one of the walls within the Clock Tower.
- When Rory is asked to repair the EMF, he is able to skip it by walking into the bookcase and into the corridor on the other side.
- When the Doctor and Amy first encounter a Rutan, the Rutan is able to shoot through the boxes you're supposed to be able to hide behind for safety.
- Sometimes, during the brief door cutscene on London Bridge, the door opens and closes without the Doctor passing through it.
- When talking to characters, the Doctor may end up facing the wrong way.
Continuity
- Amy returns to the TARDIS Drawing Room (VG: TARDIS) New objects include:
- The Doctor's cot (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

- A Hypercube (DW: The Doctor's Wife)
- A Silent can appear at any time during the Game, in the parts where the player can free-roam. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon, Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song)
- Sontarans and Rutans return.
- Amy and Rory recognise the Sontarans, having seen Strax in DW: A Good Man Goes to War. However, Rory fully understands the danger they represent despite not encountering them in full force as enemies before.
- Amy once again calls Rory "stupid face." (DW: Day of the Moon)
- The Master's laser screwdriver is still in the console. (VG: TARDIS)
- Considerably earlier in his personal timeline, the First Doctor and his companions Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Vicki Pallister had likewise become embroiled in the events surrounding the Gunpowder Plot in November 1605. (MA: The Plotters)
