Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/A Fix with Sontarans

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
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 A Fix with Sontarans 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. 
  • Why is Tegan still wearing her air hostess uniform? She isn't an air hostess any more.
She may have put it on, and then was captured. She could have liked the fasion of the cut or something.
Fixing a Hole explains that Tegan got her job back. 22:37, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Where does Tegan get the box from? Surely she would have gone through the door further into the TARDIS to find one?
We never see the other side of the console room, never in the classic series I think, so there could be all manner of things there.
Actually we do on a couple of occasions, most prominently during The Web Planet (TV story), where it's seen that there is an alcove with various things stored in it; so, Tegan finding a box over there is entirely reasonable.
  • Why doesn't the doctor go back in time to see if Jim is a Paedophile?
  • Because what?
When has the Doctor ever used his TARDIS to vet someone's background or future? Why would he have any reason to do something special in this case? Like millions of Britons, he had no reason to believe Jim was anything other than what he appeared.
  • I am not sure if the last part with Jim Vile is canon. Come to think of it, an expanded universe story claims this was a dream the Doctor had.
There is no canon and no story said that this minisode was a dream. 22:37, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
