Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors
- At the start of episode 4 (on asking whether Peri was Dead) the Doctor is specifically told that she isn't. So why at the end of that episode does everyone believe that Peri has died.
- How does the Inquisitor know the events at the stories end - she's supposed to be imparsial, and is supposed to be watching this for the first time.
- Why hasn't Leela or Romana testified for the Doctor as there are on Gallifrey
