* ArtisticLicenceHistory: The events in the story bear only a vague resemblance to actual history. Even the participants in the famous gunfight were largely different in real life.

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: The events in the story bear only a vague resemblance to actual history. Even the participants in the famous gunfight were largely different in real life. The novelization plays with this by framing the whole thing as a story being told years later by a dying Doc Holliday.



* SelfPlagiarism: The story had the same writer as "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E3TheMythMakers The Myth Makers]]" and has the same plot and story structure - the TARDIS arrives in Earth's past with an injured member, the Doctor is mistaken for someone famous, wacky hijinks ensue before a violent climax.

At one point, Cotton's novelizations of the two episodes were even published together in the same book.

Per TRS, this was renamed to Falsely Advertised Accuracy and moved to Trivia


* DanBrowned: Script Editor Donald Tosh once went on record as claiming that the story, set around the 1881 Gunfight at the OK Corral, was historically accurate. Even though it gets such minor details as who was killed during the shootout and who was there wrong, along with making up fictional family members for the real-life participants.
