Everybody makes mistakes, even the Doctor, who at least has a time machine and infinite regenerations with which to make amends.
In the high-pressure world of television production however, there's never enough time and never enough money. That's often how mistakes get made, as the constant grind to get something up onscreen supersedes any concerns over how that thing will look, or how poor the script is.
William Hartnell's line fluffs were legendary, but they were the product of a time where second takes were nigh-on impossible. But if we're honest, those line fluffs helped to humanize the First Doctor, making him the cuddly grandfather figure that he quickly became.
Not all of the mistakes in Doctor Who have led to unintended positive results, however. Some mistakes have overshadowed a lead actor at a time when they should have been front and center, while others have threatened to ruin legendary Doctor Who monsters for good.
However, almost all of these Doctor Who mistakes were made out of a desire to improve the show or push it in new directions. But as the old saying goes "The road to Fear Her is paved with good intentions..."
