At the end, when the Doctor looks at Amy's clock, it turns to 12:00 pm....
As it's night-time, shouldn't it read 0:00 AM ?? Also shortly before that, the Doctor has one brace down, the magically back up again in the same shot hahaha! And he doesn't pull it up that time XD |

(All times are episode times on i-player):40:04 - Amy pulls down both braces 40:06 - Doctor pulls both back up 40:10-40:13 - Amy pulls both down again 40:14 - Doctor pulls one back up, then shot goes solely on Amy, when he could've pulled up the other He did make a strange movement at 40:27 to pull his brace up again, even though it was still there though.

[quote=Fudd;39997189]If you look closely at the clock it actually says "12:00" with "AM" to the top right, and the date (6/26) to the left.

Amy set her clock wrong... I'm sure that's fairly common.

But the clock jumps from 11:59am on one day to 12pm the next day! That's a 12 hour jump in one second! |

Yet another 'accidental' prop screwup from the production team...?

even if that was an error, which I'm kind of doubting with all the stuff going on in this series if you keep your eyes peeled, it wouldn't constitute a "huge" one.

But the clock actually flipped over from 11:59am to 12:00pm? In which case. how did the date change?
Either it the clock was faulty, someone made a cock up somewhere and they've tried to fix it post production or it was very deliberate. Edit: I've just realised this is another time related "mistake". I'm thinking of Rory's pass here. Are we seeing a theme? |

Maybe AM and PM are reversed in Leadworth? I doubt that's it, but I thought I'd throw that idea out there.

Has to be intentional in my book. I mean I can see flashing Karen's stocking top in Confidential as serendipity but ...
buying a clock that's faulty and just happens to lose 12 hours at the point where they're using it to denote the fact that it's the day when time blows up? |

There's something wrong with time so it makes sense there's something wrong with the clock (and not just because its signalling the date in the incorrect backwards American manner) and I agree its probably another visual clue to the greater story arc

That sort of stuff doesn't matter to me. Its fiction for goodness sake, I'm not gonna let some minor prop malfunctions ruin it for me.

I thought it was a but weak the way he left Amy in the forest, I sure the Doctor and that other guy could have carried her.

There's another error, that probably isn't an error but might be a spoiler. At around 17 minutes in on the iPlayer when the Doctor leaves Amy with the soldiers.

Most of the things that people are pointing out as being errors are more than likely meant to be there for a very good reason. |

I noticed that, too. I think it was deliberate and will be gotten back to later in the series.
Definitely something to do with the over-all series arc, backed up by the line at the end about it all being about Amy. |

12 hours gone in a second.
Maybe thats an explanation for the Doctor not going back to 7yr old Amy and 6 months between visits when its minutes to him. |

Agreed. From the editing alone it seemed clear to me this was no mistake. Blazer-less Doctor leaves with River and the soldier, then is back with Amy wearing blazer, then back with River and soldier as if he never left their side.

Look at the screengrab and you'll see that the date doesn't change. The clock seems to show the change from morning to afternoon rather than from one day to the next.
