In November 2023, Doctor Who will celebrate 60 full years of being on TV. Well, unless you count that blip in the middle where it vanished for over a decade.
However, being on the air that long comes at a price, as that's a hell of a lot of time to accrue various blunders and mistakes.
Yes, Doctor Who is amazing and brilliant and fantastic, but just like any other TV show, mistakes can and do happen. It's a universe-spanning show, but it's made by mere humans, who are prone to, well, human error.
