The Invisible Enemy:
In Part 1, the info text stated that we were about to see Leela writing on the blackboard but this subtitle came on a couple of seconds after Leela wrote on the blackboard. Hardly a note of anticipation is it.
The Sound of Drums:
While The Sound of Drums had introduced the Toclafane, the first indication of them was weeks before in Totally Doctor Who 2.6.
In this episode of Totally Doctor Who, Adjoa Andoh was asked what is to be expected later on in season 33 and she drew the Toclafane and of course she did kept what she just drew a mystery. Viewers would find out for themselves in The Sound of Drums.

Of all places the TARDIS, albeit a toy of it, materialised on Grey’s Anatomy. In episode 8.4 What Is It About Men the medical staff at Seattle Grace Hospital tends to injured attendees of a comic convention and we briefly see the TARDIS as two attendees argued on the ownership of it. Russell T Davies even got a mention in this episode and I can only speculate what he thought about being mention on Grey's Anatomy that is if he even knows about it. Incidentally a regular on Grey’s Anatomy is Kevin McKidd is a Brit who some years ago was the lead actor of the short-lived time travel series Journeyman. Perhaps a Doctor Who appearance from him is long overdue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lcq6Wqmavg |

The Dalek Collection is the 3 disc DVD release of all the Dalek stories featuring the Ninth and Tenth Doctors except the Daleks’ battle with the Cybermen in Army of Ghosts/Doomsday which is instead in the Cybermen Collection.
If there is one dissatisfaction with this release it is with the DVD montage.
It is the same montage on all three discs and it is not representative of all the stories in this release. The montage is lacking in representation of Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways & The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End.
The point of a montage is to give an overview of what is on a disc. So therefore instead of having the same montage for all three discs, there should instead been separate montage on each of the three discs presenting what is on each of these discs.

2012 Annual:
In a question in the game Word Swirl it asked “The number of regenerations the Doctor has undergone so far.” The answer to this was eleven. This is incorrect since the current Doctor is the Eleventh Doctor it would mean that this Doctor came as a result of his tenth regeneration. Therefore he has undergone ten regenerations.
If the Doctor had undergone eleven regenerations it would mean that his first regeneration was when he became the First Doctor. How can there be a regeneration for a life that hasn’t existed yet.
