Doctor Who is the greatest show in all of time and space, but as we've covered in several previous lists, it's not without its mistakes.

Of course, just like any other TV show or movie, mistakes can and do happen. Human error and all that. Nobody is faulting the hard work that thousands of crew members have put into making Doctor Who over the years, but at the same time, it's undeniably a lot of fun to notice these mistakes, and then share them with other Whovians.

So, that's exactly what we're going to do here!

Some mistakes are more noticeable than others, and these ten will have you wondering how on Earth you missed them in the first place...

10. Teleporting Paul (Knock Knock)

Series 10's Knock Knock serves as a valuable lesson in vetting your potential landlord.

The episode takes place in Bill's new home as the Twelfth Doctor drops in to help her move, only for things to get creepy when her new roomies randomly start disappearing.

Maybe the odd nature of the house can explain this blatantly obvious continuity error right at the start of the episode... or maybe not.

After Bill bins the Doctor off after he helps her move her stuff, she gets some more assistance from another Scot - her new housemate Paul.

Boxes in hand, Bill and Paul start walking up a staircase to her room. Bill starts off in front of him (see the image above), but when we see them in the very next shot, they've suddenly swapped places.

How did Paul get ahead of Bill on that very narrow staircase? Did he jump over her, Danny Pink style? Did he fall through a wormhole and transport ahead of her?

This being Doctor Who, yeah it was probably a wormhole.
