Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Black Orchid

You are exploring the Discontinuity Index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.
Please discuss only those whole stories which have already been released, and obey our spoiler policy.

This page is for discussing the ways in which Black Orchid doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, please do not sign your posts. Also, keep all posts about the same continuity error under the same bullet point. You can add a new point by typing:

* This is point one.
::This is a counter-argument to point one.
:::This is a counter-argument to the counter-argument above
* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 

• The Mackenzie Trent police box, which the Doctor's TARDIS is disguised as did not exist until 1929, four years after the events of this story, yet the policemen recognise it.

Police boxes of a similar design had been put into use starting in 1923; police boxes in general had been in use in Britain since 1891.
