Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors

 * The Cybermen know of Lady Peinforte but they have never encountered her before. How they know of her is unclear.

Continuity

 * This is the last episode to feature Cybermen before Doctor Who's cancellation.
 * So far in the new series, these Cybermen haven't appeared. Only Cybermen from Pete's World have been featured.


 * Lady Peinforte shows her servant, Richard Maynard, his grave. In Revelation of the Daleks, the Doctor explains to Peri that if he took her to Earth after she had died, she could see her own gravestone.


 * The Doctor plays chess against an unknown opponent, thought to be Fenric. The Doctor battles Fenric later on in The Curse of Fenric, but before this, in the story Battlefield, Morgaine speaks of how she always beat the Doctor at chess, Morgaine and Fenric both powerful beings from another dimension.
 * Battlefield also deals with Time as a major factor. Lady Peinforte's tomb does not contain her bones because she is destroyed in space when the Nemesis explodes. In Battlefield, the events occur because of what the Doctor will do in the future, leading to the Doctor writing himself a note and claiming that he should have given himself more warning.
