Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Smugglers

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 The Smugglers 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. 

• Despite having refused a drink in The War Machines (TV story) because he doesn't drink alcohol, The Doctor accepts and identifies a Madeira in the second episode, while on board the Black Albatross. NEW ADDITION BY OTHER AUTHOR: The Doctor states that he does not drink alcohol in The Gunfighters. He does not refuse a drink in The War Machines. He is offered one, and offers no objection. And yes, he accepts a Sherry Wine in The Smugglers. And what on Earth is all this bunkum about, hmm? "TEXT IN ALL CAPS (sic) is often read as shouting by other users. Please find a more net(sic)-friendly way to add emphasis..." I'm not adding emphasis, I'm separating my addition from the previous entry - END!

I think The 1st Doctor only likes fancy alcoholic drinks including possibly wine
