*The Doctor claims that he is 903 years old. This contradicts ''[[Time and the Rani]]'', in which the Doctor's age is given as 953. It also contradicts the 2005 series. In ''[[Aliens of London]]'', the Doctor claims to be 900. From a real-life viewpoint, Series 1 to Series 3 is 2 years and adding [[The Year That Never Was]], the Doctor ages 3 years between Series 1 and ''Voyage of the Damned'', making him 903. However, if one is to include the three years the Doctor spends separated from Martha in ''[[The Infinite Quest]]'', the Doctor is 906 years old. ''It is not certain that the time between Aliens of London and Voyage of the Damned was 6 years for the Doctor. Between Aliens of London and The Infinite Quest could have been a period of months or weeks, and so the Doctor could still be 903 following the events of The Infinite Quest.'' | *The Doctor claims that he is 903 years old.

*When Mr Copper is talking about Great Britain in the final scene, why doesn't the Doctor correct him that the country is actually called the United Kingdom, especially considering that Mr Copper actually referred to the country as the UK earlier in the episode? ''The Doctor has previously referred to the United Kingdom as Great Britain and it is probably just a habit.'' | *When Mr Copper is talking about Great Britain in the final scene, why doesn't the Doctor correct him that the country is actually called the United Kingdom, especially considering that Mr Copper actually referred to the country as the UK earlier in the episode?

*The Doctor explained that the exchange rate from credits to pounds is 50 million to 1 million, respectively. This means that Foon Van Hoff's 5000 credit debt is only 100 pounds, or $147. How is it that they'll never be able to pay off 100 pounds? | *The Doctor explained that the exchange rate from credits to pounds is 50 million to 1 million, respectively.

The Van Hoff's could earn only a credit a year, but that would be enough for them to live comfortably enough on.'' | ||
