The Fugitive Doctor’s TARDIS looking like a police box? Problem solved!

There’s nothing Doctor Who fans love to hate more than a good old plot hole. But in a world as outlandish as the Doctor’s, do we really need to scrutinize the logic so closely?

After all, this is the show that gave us a sentient universe masquerading as a frog on a chair; the “last pure human”, comprising a brain in a jar and a sheet of skin; actual, literal cat people; and loads more besides.

Accepting this sort of stuff is par for the course, so why should so-called "plot holes" be any different?

Well in fairness, although the world of Doctor Who is one where lots of things are possible, it’s not one where anything is possible. Indeed, sometimes writers will accidentally contradict themselves, or each other. Or sometimes they have no option but to bend the logic a little.

That said, lots of the "plot holes" that people often point out really aren’t that big a deal. In fact, many of them aren't really plot holes at all.
