*In Episode 7, the Doctor refers to Bromley as "that technician, the one who went berserk and started killing people." Unless Bromley claimed any victims since we last saw him, then it seems like the Doctor is confusing him with Harry - who he knows is dead. Considering he dazedly refers to the Brigadier as "Brigade Leader" when asking this, it's possible he's mistaking the original Bromley for his Inferno Earth counterpart, who ''did'' kill a guy... except the Doctor saw him get killed. And even if the original Bromley ''did'' kill some people, he'd have to have done it while the Doctor was gone, hence he wouldn't know about it and wouldn't describe Bromley as having killed anyone. Is it a script error, or were they trying to retcon Bromley into the original infectee hoping the audience wouldn't remember Harry? | *In Episode 7, the Doctor refers to Bromley as "that technician, the one who went berserk and started killing people."

::... except the Doctor also saw the Brigade Leader get killed. If he can make that confusion, he can do the same with regards to Bromley. | ::... except the Doctor also saw the Brigade Leader get killed. If he can make that confusion, he can do the same with regards to Bromley. | ||
*It's hard to imagine any domestic UK fascist regime offing the royals, who'd make ideal and probably quite pliant figurehead rulers, and carry a lot of the population with them. So it's arguable that the Inferno Earth regime is a communist one, but there's nothing really suggestive of that in the script or the mise-en-scene. It could be a non-denominational military dictatorship, but that brings us back to the 'figurehead' problem. Another option is that, since the evil ruler of the Inferno Earth is the Doctor, maybe he just didn't like the Royals that much. | |||
