Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)

Continuity

 * The Hand of Omega makes its first appearance.


 * At this stage, the Daleks are seen to have split into two factions - Imperial (lead by Davros) and Renegade (Lead by the Black Dalek) Davros has augmented the Imperial Daleks with cybernetic implants, whereas the Renegade Daleks have remained 'pure'. Although not explicitly stated, it can be reasonably inferred that the Imperial Faction have control of the Dalek home planet Skaro


 * The Daleks use a human child linked into their battle computer in order to provide a random element to their battle strategies. This tactic was developed after the stalemates of the Movellan war.


 * The Doctor states his age as 900, and also describes himself as "The Doctor, President elect of the high council of Time Lords. Keeper of the legacy of Rassilon. Defender of the laws of Time, Protector of Gallifrey."


 * This is the first time Davros has encountered the Seventh Doctor, as he remarks upon the change in his appearance.


 * Skaro is destroyed when the Hand of Omega transforms its sun into a supernova.

Errors and Plot Holes

 * The gates to the junkyard bear the label "I.M FORMAN", as a nod to the junkyard seen in the first ever episode (An Unearthly Child), and as a continuity link. (The Doctor also has knowledge of the geography of the junkyard). The junkyard in Unearthly Child however, is advertised as "I.M Foreman"


 * When the Doctor is counting ten seconds until the Nitro-9 he obtained from Ace explodes, you can clearly see where the re-dubbed audio doesn't quite match the original footage.
