CONTINUITY COCK-UPS

1. Pg 28 "He thought back the moment when Grace was..." Surely that should be "back to the moment"?
2. Pgs 158-159 "A microphone was ready for him on a little podium." Shouldn't that be "on a little lectern"? A podium is the platform you stand on, while the lectern is the stanted high desk that you stand behind.
3. Pg 202 "Ryan wouldn't ever brag about it, but of course he knew how to hot-wire a car - he was a mechanic." Except that in The Woman Who Fell to Earth, he explicitly says that he's not a mechanic, merely trying to be one.

PLUGGING THE HOLES [Fan-wank theorizing of how to fix continuity cock-ups]

1. Graham's tears are getting in the way of his syntax.
2. Mykados carefully balanced himself on the tiny podium and bent down to speak into the microphone. He looked quite ridiculous.
3. Ryan's bragging is really strong today.

IN SUMMARY - Robert Smith?
This is an excellent book, and a great start to the thirteenth Doctor adventures. There's an excellent examination of religion and misogyny, with fun time-travel hijinks and a great twist early on. The regulars are mostly well done, with the Doctor and Ryan being the best, although Graham talks like a stereotypical cockney and never once sounds like Bradley Walsh. But there's a depth here that's been largely missing for the New Series Adventures, and it's greatly appreciated.
