* CluelessAesop: This is a DrugsAreBad story about intergalactic drug smugglers. It started out quite reasonable and relevant (and in a show that had been and later continued to be quite good at dealing with serious political issues in an allegorical format) but all three series lead actors, especially Creator/LallaWard, were concerned that the script might glamorize drug use to young viewers. The FantasticDrug was renamed from the vaguely fun-sounding 'zip' to the nonsensical 'vrax', and everything about why anyone might want to take the drug was removed, with the result of turning vrax into something instantly addictive and invariably fatal that doesn't even make you very high.

* PoliceAreUseless: The customs agents decide that the Doctor is the drug smuggler when they find traces of vraxoin on his coat, never mind that there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the person who told the police they need to be searching for drugs to have traces of drugs on his clothing - that he learned that there was a need to search for drugs because he found some earlier. Fisk also seems to care more for the publicity of having a high profile case on his record than the fact that there are monsters rampaging through the economy class compartments, killing at least eighteen people and wounding many more.
