Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Gunfighters


 * Episodes one and two have the world's quietest gunshots, and in episode four's climactic gunfight Earp and Masterson apparently walk through a withering barrage of fire unscathed.(it helped that nobody was aiming at them).
 * This is part of Johnny Ringo's plan to distract the Earps while he attacks from behind: he orders the Clanton's to open fire while still out of range. When the Earps get close enough, however, they take cover.


 * The Clanton gang have amazing accents, Billy obviously having been to finishing school, and Johnny Ringo to the RSC.


 * Johnny Ringo, Kate and Steven arrive back in Tombstone before Doc Holliday and Dodo yet they departed first.


 * At the end of the first episode, the Doctor is seen outside the Saloon yet Kate gets there before the Doctor and she left the dentist after the Doctor.


 * There are several historical errors. Johnny Ringo did not take part in the gunfight, and was not killed at this time,Pa Clanton died weeks before,There is no Reuben Clanton or Warren Earp,Ike Clanton survived and Phineas Clanton did not take part.
 * Some events in the Whoniverse are different than in the real world and the events of the Gunfight are likely not a fixed point in time and can be altered.
