While it's not always possible to convert errors into assets in this way, when it can be done it's useful to do it. DW is by no means the only show whose fans do this, although DW fans have more room to manoeuvre than most -- time travel helps a lot, in that respect. Occasionally, the process of retconning an error can stimulate writers into creating really good stories that just wouldn't otherwise have been written. Sure, it can be done badly -- anything can -- but when it's done well, it's valuable. --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.212.51|89.241.212.51]]<sup>[[User talk:89.241.212.51#top|talk to me]]</sup> 13:56, November 19, 2013 (UTC) | While it's not always possible to convert errors into assets in this way, when it can be done it's useful to do it.

There are, of course, things which cannot be explained away, like how in The Bells of Saint John, when the Doctor and Clara are arguing over how you can/can't track down where the wi-fi controllers are located and pulling the laptop back and forth, the laptop is facing different directions between camera shots that it clearly was not facing a second ago. —[[User:BioniclesaurKing4t2|BioniclesaurKing4t2]] - [[User talk:BioniclesaurKing4t2|"Hello, I'm the Doctor.]] [[Special:Contributions/BioniclesaurKing4t2|Basically, . . .
