10 Times Doctor Who Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren’t Meant To See

After having her wedding day interrupted by a giant demon spider, Donna Noble got a proper shot at travelling with the Doctor when she met him again in Series 4's Partners in Crime.

The self-proclaimed "best temp in Chiswick" is doing her own investigating into the sinister Adipose diet pills when she runs into the Doctor doing the exact same thing.

They meet up in the Adipose offices, although, if you went by one particular bit of set dressing, then you might have thought they were actually in a wine bar.

Donna is on the phone to her mum in the Adipose toilets when Miss Foster and her guards walk in. On the left is a large blue sign that reads "De Rossi’s wine bar is dedicated to keeping these facilities clean at all times."

Whoops.

De Rossi's is the name of the establishment Sylvia visits later in the episode, so we assume that the crew filmed this toilet scene there too, and just forgot about the sign. Or they weren't allowed to move it.

Or, maybe De Rossi's wanted to ensure that nine million viewers knew who those lovely clean toilets belonged to. Big-brain marketing, that is.
