10 Doctor Who Moments That Make NO SENSE

The thing that sets Doctor Who apart from almost every other sci-fi show is that its writing is consistently great. You don't make it to 60 years on telly without doing something right!

Writers on the show take enormous care to craft likeable characters and amazing worlds, with stories that are big and exciting, but grounded enough to maintain audience investment.

Yes indeed, a lot of work goes into writing for Doctor Who – which is why it's highly annoying when stuff like this happens.

Plot holes, inconsistencies, and silly moments affect every TV show, but in this case there are literally hundreds of them – and these are some of the biggest ones from the modern series.

Character inconsistencies, technology not quite adding up, and huge coincidences are the order of the day here. Some of them won't affect your viewing of the episode too much, but others will make you wonder how you ever overlooked them.

Sorry in advance.

Despite an extended runtime, The Power of the Doctor was bursting at the seams. It had a lot to cram in, including a cameo from everyone's favourite gameshow-hosting companion.

Bradley Walsh returned to the fray as Graham, leading a support group for ex-companions at the episode's end. Before this, he saved the day by helping Ace defeat the Daleks, who were trying to set off numerous volcanoes all at once.

Told you it was a busy episode.

But hang on just a jiffy – how the hell did Graham get here? How does he just show up inside a volcano?

Last we checked, there are no public footpaths into the centre of boiling hot pits of doom. And Graham hardly has the resources or athleticism of a James Bond superspy. And how did he even know which volcano to visit? It won't shock you to learn that there are quite a few of them dotted around the Earth.

It's one of those things you're just meant to accept, but it still keeps us awake at night thinking about it.
