* The gates to the junkyard bear the label "I.M FORMAN", as a nod to the junkyard seen in the first ever episode ([[An Unearthly Child]]), and as a continuity link. (The Doctor also has knowledge of the geography of the junkyard). The junkyard in Unearthly Child however, is "I.M ''Foreman''" ''This is due to a time blip, as explained in [[PDA]] [[The Algebra of Ice]] and elaborated on in [[EDA]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two]]''. The sign was mispainted with a spelling error. This happens often to real life signs.'' | * The gates to the junkyard bear the label "I.M FORMAN", as a nod to the junkyard seen in the first ever episode ([[An Unearthly Child]]), and as a continuity link.

''We never see the book leave the school in [[An Unearthly Child]], so its presence (if it is indeed the same book) there is not inconsistent.'' | * Various details, such as the "French Revolution" book in the science lab, match up with [[The Pilot Episode]] but not with [[An Unearthly Child]].

* The Doctor says that the Daleks are dependent on rationality and logic, whereas Daleks are actually driven by xenophobia and race hatred (it seems an ''especially'' odd statement as one of the story's core themes is racial purity). ''The Doctor is most likely referring to their battle strategies, not to their psychology.'' | * The Doctor says that the Daleks are dependent on rationality and logic, whereas Daleks are actually driven by xenophobia and race hatred (it seems an ''especially'' odd statement as one of the story's core themes is racial purity).
