Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (continuity error): When Prisoner Zero is disguised as a mother and two children the younger daughter is on the mother's left and the older daughter is on her right. However when the Doctor crashes the ladder through the window the daughters have switched sides with the younger one on the mother's right. A few moments later they have switched back again.
- Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When The Doctor says "Am I people?" to young Amelia, his mouth does not match.
- Goof (continuity error): During the Doctor's rooftop conversation with the Atraxi, Rory can be seen standing behind him holding a selection of jackets and ties. As the Atraxi are reviewing the various incarnations of the Doctor, one of the jackets (a dark reddish brown jacket) can be seen on the ground to Rory's left. When the Doctor says the line "Hello, I'm the Doctor", the coat is still on the ground, but the scene immediately cuts to a closeup with Rory still holding the jacket in his arms.
- Goof (continuity error): When the Doctor leaves Amelia for his TARDIS-stabilizing, five-minute hop into the future, Caitlin Blackwood's closeup shows her hair being whipped around by the TARDIS' departure. When it cuts immediately then to an over-the-shoulder shot of Blackwood watching the departure, her hair is totally unaffected.
- Goof (continuity error): Rory's Mini Cooper was in the parking lot next to the duck pond, but when he and Amy got into it, it had moved in front of the book store, where previously there was no car.
