Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/Invasion of the Dinosaurs

"
 * When Sarah says the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago the Doctor replied "63 million years ago to be precise." How is that precise?!
 * Saying '63 million' is more precise than just saying 'millions'.


 * The dinosaurs don't 'roar' they just say "roar!".
 * Since no human has in reality ever heard a dinosaur roar, it would be difficult to say what they truly did or did not sound like.


 * If a t-rex did fall over like in episode 3, it would never be able to get back up, and when it does it seems to float.
 * Strong abdominal and side muscles could hypothetically account for the movement. Also, this was before it was known that T-Rex didn't stand upright with its tail dragging.


 * Why send all the dinosaurs when the other humans on board the spaceship are going to a time afterwards?
 * The dinosaurs were to get people out of London so that they would not be protected from the time change.


 * London has been evacuated effectively for sometime before the Doctor and Sarah arrive. What is taking Whitaker so long to begin the final phase of his operation?
 * It takes time for the energy/equipment to build itself up for such a huge time-field to be generated.


 * Also, how would they generate a time-field big enough for the Earth and even if they did, they would have to alter the whole universe as well.
 * No, it is only London that will be inside the field and hence taken back in time to start again on an Earth of the past. Although this does raise the question of how Whitaker and the others were planning to explain to the 'astronauts' what all the buildings and other London landmarks are doing on their strange new world!


 * Dinosaurs may be tough, but bullet-proof is pushing the boundaries of plausibility.
 * Dinosaurs have incredibly thick skin (as recorded in the fossil record), which allows to take many hits. It's not bullet-proof, just able to take a lot of tthem.


 * The inaccuracies concerning the dinosaurs are legion. To be fair though the prevailing idea about dinosaurs at the time of production was that they were sluggish cold-blooded creatures. The T-rex has three fingers on its arms instead of two. But here again, it was not known for a certainty that T-rex had two fingers until quite recently.
 * In 2007, a Tyrannosaurus rex was unearthed with three fingers on each hand.


 * It is painfully obvious that the dinosaurs are just toys.
 * This is a production issue, not a continuity one. The television shows we see are dramatisations, not documentaries.


 * If the group creating the dinosaurs are so concerned about the Doctor trapping a dinosaur - why not just stop bringing dinosaurs? They've already got London cleared.


 * There are some incredibly quick cross London journeys - particularly Yates (who manages to get from UNIT to the other base in a few minutes - several times.)


 * In episode 6 when there are supposed to be lots of dinosaurs about characters seem to be able to travel with no difficulty.


 * When Sarah returns to the "spaceship" in episode 6 she tells Mark that they are "somewhere" under London. (She even stresses the word "somewhere".) This seems odd as she knows exactly where they are.


 * When the doctor and Sarah arrive in the wrong place - why not just try again?
 * It's specifically because that simply how the Doctor works. If there's a problem, hefixes it. How do you not know this?


 * Why not use the tardis instead of vehicles during the story itself? (particularly in episode 6 where the doctor is racing to get to the base as quickly as possible)
 * This is one of those phases in the machine's history where it is particularly poor at managing "these short hops".
