* SpecialEffectsFailure: The offscreen Daleks manage to be this despite being completely unseen due to some truly awful sound design. Due to the fact that the illusion of many Daleks was created by taking a voice clip recorded at normal speed and then just speeding it up a lot to fit multiple repetitions of it into the very short scene, and the fact that they aren't even ring-modulated, they all have comically squeaky voices that sounds neither cool nor anything like Daleks.

* CommonKnowledge: Despite even bits of official BBC material describing it as such, the Seventh Doctor doesn't actually regenerate as the direct result of his gunshot wounds, which one of the surgeons specifically mentions were superficial and not life-threatening. Had the operating team just patched up the wounds and let him go, he would have been fine. It's actually Grace's poking around inside him in an effort to discover why his heart rate and physiology are abnormal that leads to fatal(ish) consequences.

** Even more of a wasted character was Gordon Tipple's version of The Master, referred to as "The Old Master" in the closing credits. Despite him getting an interesting costume design reminiscent of Creator/RogerDelgado, unique character makeup, and recording an opening monologue establishing him as a unique incarnation from Creator/AnthonyAinley, practically none of this was used in the final film. He is only seen from a distance for a few seconds, with his appearance obscured, and dies within those few seconds without even saying anything. This led most fans to believe that he was simply TheOtherDarrin for Creator/AnthonyAinley despite the initial plans of establishing him as his own incarnation. Even without a major role in the film, giving him ''any'' actual material would have opened up an opportunity for plenty of FanficFuel about this version of The Master, similar to how Geoffrey Beevers and Derek Jacobi also essentially played old versions of The Master only meant to set up the next actor in the role, but were given enough time to still be memorable. This case of the trope even continues into ExpandedUniverse material, as [[AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho Big Finish]] has never brought Gordon Tipple back to flesh out his portrayal of The Master despite them doing that for Creator/EricRoberts' Master.
