''The guards might have thought that the item they were guarding wouldn't of got stolen as soon as they started the job. They were probably just getting settled in.'' | ||
*Would the security lasers around the relic in the museum not have a roof of somekind? Haven't they worked out that thieves can enter the museum from above? ''The museum might | *Would the security lasers around the relic in the museum not have a roof of somekind? Haven't they worked out that thieves can enter the museum from above? ''The museum might have thought that the guards would look out for that sort of thing. Referring to the point above, they obviously didn't.'' | ||
* When the bus is originally shown, it has a number plate of W974GHM, but later, when flying, its number plate has changed to RUA467W. ''This could be, if the rumor is to be believed, that the Doctor Who team had a bus stolen while they were filming in Dubai and had to replace it'' This is most likely because, as seen in the confidential, the team used two separate buses (one for shots in Dubai, one for shots in the UK). ''However, in-Universe, this point stands, and is still a continuity error.'' | * When the bus is originally shown, it has a number plate of W974GHM, but later, when flying, its number plate has changed to RUA467W.

*The Doctor claims that it will take the Swarm 20 minutes to reach them 100 miles away. So therefore they were moving at 300mph. However, when Christina was being chased by one it could not catch up despite her moving at a much slower speed. ''This one had been inactive for an unknown amount of time, due to the low temperature of the ship, so it's reasonable to assume this is why it was so sluggish, as most beings become slow if they are exposed to cold for a certain amount of time.'' | *The Doctor claims that it will take the Swarm 20 minutes to reach them 100 miles away.

*Why did the Tritivores have ear pieces? They clearly don't have ears. ''The "ear pieces" were referred to as a means to communicate, not that they were meant to fit over the ears. They could just as easily have been fitted to be over the Tritovore's mouths, meaning that the fact that they fitted on human ears could have been a coincidence'' | *Why did the Tritivores have ear pieces?
