Theory:Doctor Who audio discontinuity and plot holes/The Resurrection of Mars


 * At various stages Graeme Garden's character says that he is called "The Monk". Except that he isn't. It is made clear in various media, that "The Monk" is not his name the same way that "The Doctor" is for another Time Lord, but rather just a disguise he used once.


 * "The Monk" offers to take Tamsin to have cakes from Marie Antoinette's kitchen. Of course, 18th Century France didn't have British-style cake. In fact, the French didn't even have a proper word for what we call "cake" at the time. This is based of a total misunderstanding of the so-called 'Let them eat cake' myth, which a)wasn't cake, and b)was never said by Marie Antoinette.
 * The Monk is aware that Tamsin's grasp of history is sparce at best, and so is claiming such things in a way she would understand them. i.e., the 'Let them eat cake' myth is one Tamsin has likely heard and believes, so the Monk decides to humour her view of history.


 * "The Monk" also offers to take Tamsin to eat a Caesar Salad with Julius Caesar. Of course, Of course, the Caesar Salad is a 20th Century American creation.
 * Perhaps the Monk was going to supply the Caesar Salad.


 * At one point the Doctor warns that something is "flammable". While this is an acceptable American form, it is highly unlikely that the Doctor(grammar Nazi that he is) would say "flammable" rather than the correct British English word "inflammable".


 * The Doctor and Lucie are put under guard by Ice Warriors, who simply disappear.
