Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/In the Forest of the Night


 * The Doctor's theory and supposition that the trees don't burn due them collectively acting to withhold Oxygen is dubious at best. Trees don't consume oxygen, they produce it. Simply arranging for the trees in a given area to not produce oxygen once a fire is lit would not extinguish the fire, as there is still oxygen already present. Failing to add more wouldn't extinguish it. Think fires in office buildings, apartment complexes and the like. No trees around to continually produce oxygen, yet fires still burn.
