Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes/The Power of the Daleks


 * Not only does the Doctor regenerate, but his clothes do as well.
 * A side effect of a first regeneration?


 * A Dalek crashes into a camera in one of the few surviving scenes.


 * How do the colonists not recognise the Daleks after the events of Doomsday and Journey's End?
 * It is revealed in The Time Traveller's Almanac that the events of Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways, and therefore all Dalek stories since, didn't "happen" until after Dalek had "happened". Also, it is speculated that there are two Dalek histories in different timelines. The first ends with the events of The Evil of the Daleks. The second begins with the Fourth Doctor interfering in Dalek evolution in Genesis of the Daleks and includes the events of Journey's End. The Power of the Daleks may belong to the first timeline, in which case Doomsday and Journey's End never happened.''
 * Also, now as of DW: Victory of the Daleks it appears Amy Pond does not remember the Daleks, implying the timeline has been messed with at some point, so what this means in relation to these events is yet to be seen.
 * It's pretty well established that even many people from the early/mid 21st century--from Zoe Heriot to Henry van Statten--didn't know about the Daleks. If this does get explained away, it seems likely that people from farther in the future wouldn't know about those events either.
