Timeline Gaffs
Anyone else spotted anything 'out of time'?
Tonight's episode was in a bit of a time warp. Did anyone spot the British Steel documents on the wall by Amy when the Doc started to whack the Dalek? Given that British Steel didn't start until 1967 it would be a little difficult to have paperwork hanging around in WWII. |

There are too many strange 'mistakes' in the series so far regarding timing anomalies...
I reckon we're in a 'wibbly-wobbly alternate timeline' the 'crack' being the obvious sign. |

This is something to do with the ultimate death of the Time Lords.

Would that explain why one of the WRAF had a single chevron on her arm for rank? That's never been a Royal Air Force Rank designation, no rank badge = AC (Aircaftsman or Woman), 2 bladed propellor = LAC (Leading AC), 3 bladed prop = SAC (Senior AC) (these days there is a 4 bladed prop for J/T - Junior Technician - but that didn't exist wartime), then it was 2 Chevrons for Corporal (the first RAF NCO rank).
That said I enjoyed the episode, wibbly wobbly or not

I think I need to go to bed as I'm on the iPlayer playing and pausing the opening sequence then turning laptop sideways to to see whether the lightening is the same shape as the crack in time... Obsessed? Ask the wife ha ha ha

I noticed that the cup and saucer that the Dalek gave to whoever had a cup of tea are a contemporary design - very common in churches. Light green with 3 grooves round the cup above the handle and on the saucer.
It may be that this is a classic design and/or the props dept is not very good - or that the props dept is not very good so they've had to make up a story about cracks in time to cover all the anachronisms. |

I can just hear Moffat: "They've given me a hospital badge issued in 1990, modern teacups and some paperwork from British Steel...screw it, I'll have to do a re-write..."

![]() Maybe RTD spent up the budget and trashed the props cupboard before he left. |

"If we need to save money sack the props department, I'll work out how to cover it up in the storyline later.'
