Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Faceless Ones


 * It does seem somewhat short-sighted of the Chameleons to leave so many of their personnel's 'originals' behind in car boots, when their well-being is so vital to their survival and the success of the grand plan. Especially when the personnel in question are the very ones who are in the perfect position to arrange their safe transport up to the space station, instead of being satisfied to simply leave them behind on Earth and hope they remain undiscovered until they are no longer relevant.
 * Why does the Doctor and his companions run out the TARDIS? Why not just go somewhere else?
 * How has it taken so long for someone to notice that people go missing on the flights? With the amount of children that have been taken, surely someone would notice that they had been gone for too long
 * The planes go up to a space station - so how do they arrive in the other places (as the airports claim that they do)
 * Sam claims that one of the places doesn't actually exist - surely someone would notice that in the adverts that they place up in papers.
 * The Chameleons plan involves taking all their people on to the plane yet they've converted 25 people in key airline positions and expect no-one to notice that they have gone?
 * Why do the Chameleons leave the Doctor, Jamie and Sam to the laser rather than shoot them
 * Why don't the Chameleons notice that Meadows is missing?
 * What exactly are the children for?
 * Where did they get all the foreign stamps and postcards from?
 * Just how long have they been planning this? They'd have to have been on earth for a while to set up the fake orginisation, start up the centres in athens and other places that the fake postcars get sent to, get securiy vetting, get planes, get permission to use gatwick airport for the tours for the flights.
 * With all the children that the Doctor has to take back, it would take several flights to ensure that they all return
 * How does the Doctor and Jamie fail to notice Polly being taken, and why do they decide to go to the hanger to look for her.
 * The police in the airport must be a bit thick - they ask for descriptions, so surely they'd have been told that Jamie had a kilt - yet they don't notice a person with a kilt hiding behind a newspaper
