The most missing?
"Following the destruction of its colour telerecordings, Evil became the "most missing" serial of the Jon Pertwee era, in that not even a frame of it survived in colour on any broadcast-quality medium."

This is a bit of a clumsy read. There never were any colour telerecordings. The B&W telerecordings were always retained. The PAL colour tapes were erased and reused, not destroyed. The NTSC colour tapes were still in existence when the PAL colour tapes were wiped. No frame of Silurians survived in colour on any broadcast-quality medium either. Perhaps Evil became the "most missing" serial of the Jon Pertwee era when the telerecording of Invasion part one was discovered, who knows? Is being the "most missing" at one point in time even notable? This comment doesn't appear on the page for Invasion of the Dinosaurs, and that had a whole episode entirely missing at one point.165.225.80.225talk to me 16:54, January 4, 2018 (UTC)

Mind Your Language
"The Doctor speaks Cantonese very well."

I'm sure he does, not that you can tell from his brief chat with Chin Lee. However, in the story, it's made very clear that he speaks Hokkien very well, which is probably more notable.165.225.80.225talk to me 16:35, January 5, 2018 (UTC)

Continuity
"The Master plants a telepathic amplifier behind Captain Chin Lee's ear to control her mind. The Daleks would later utilise a human controlled remotely by a transmitter/receiver planted behind the victim's ear."

Also, the Marshal is controlled by the Shadow in a similar fashion. Neither example really seems to have continuity with Mind of Evil, though, they are just similar ideas.165.225.80.225talk to me 16:44, January 5, 2018 (UTC)
