*Just what is the [[Dalek]] doing in the river in episode 1? (The [[Daleks]] are in [[dalekanium]] shells, and therefore cannot distinguish between air and water. The Daleks are probing the Thames for some reason; possibly a scientific expedition- are the fish a threat to the invasion?!) | *Just what is the [[Dalek]] doing in the river in episode 1?

* During the first episode, while [[the Doctor]] and his companions are exploring their materialization place next to the [[Thames]], you can clearly see the TARDIS windows propped open (inwards). Examples are at 2 minutes 12 seconds through 2 minutes 16 seconds, and elsewhere during the same scene. They were just traveling through space and time with the windows open? | * During the first episode, while [[the Doctor]] and his companions are exploring their materialization place next to the [[Thames]], you can clearly see the TARDIS windows propped open (inwards).

*The 'It is forbidden to dump bodies in the river' sign is visible during the miners' revolt in episode 6, this is because the two sets were next to each other and weren't blocked off. | *The 'It is forbidden to dump bodies in the river' sign is visible during the miners' revolt in episode 6, this is because the two sets were next to each other and weren't blocked off. | ||
* Wouldn't people by this time already have knowledge of the [[Daleks]] considering [[Doomsday]]/[[Army of Ghosts]], [[Daleks in Manhattan]]/[[Evolution of the Daleks]], [[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]] and all other episodes set in the 20th or 21st centuries? ''There's no evidence that they had not heard of [[Daleks]] before the Invasion.'' | * Wouldn't people by this time already have knowledge of the [[Daleks]] considering [[Doomsday]]/[[Army of Ghosts]], [[Daleks in Manhattan]]/[[Evolution of the Daleks]], [[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]] and all other episodes set in the 20th or 21st centuries? ''There's no evidence that they had not heard of [[Daleks]] before the Invasion. And also the events of Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks only affected around 100 people, all which would be dead by now.'' | ||
*If the [[Daleks]] are drilling to the Earth's crust, wouldn't that blow it up? (cf: [[Inferno]]) (''No, because they don't actually break through it completely'') The idea of hollowing out a planet and making it navigable is clearly ludicrous. Though it would have been fasninating for children. | *If the [[Daleks]] are drilling to the Earth's crust, wouldn't that blow it up?
