History YMMV / DoctorWhoS2E8TheChase

** Vicki, in response to hearing The Beatles ''Top of the Pops'' 1965 performance of "Ticket to Ride" says, "I didn't know they played classical music", to which Ian, bemused, remarks that styles change. The Beatles indeed ''did'' drastically shift styles starting later that same year with the release of ''Rubber Soul'', followed by ''Revolver''.

** Vicki also remarks on The Beatles having a memorial theater in Liverpool by her time, which Ian and Barbara seem confused by, likely since The Beatles were considered a fad pop band in 1965. The first Beatles tribute statue would appear in Liverpool in 1974, and as of 2023 there are ''eight'' separate monuments in the city.

* NotSoCrazyAnymore: The story begins with Ian bopping to Music/TheBeatles on the timescanner. When he jokingly remarks that future girl Vicki has probably never heard of the Beatles she is indignant: "Of ''course'' I know about them. I've been to their Memorial Theatre in Liverpool. But I never knew they played classical music!" The idea of a memorial concert hall doesn't seem so silly in the 21st century.

** The Dalek time machine is designed an optical illusion to make it appear as if its a large, column-shaped craft, but is repeatedly filmed at angles where it's plainly obvious that the rear sides of it are flat plywood.

* BizarroEpisode: A story where each episode takes the characters to a new location at a time where this was not the norm. There is a cameo from Music/TheBeatles. An obnoxious Eaglelander tourist spends half an episode laughing at a Dalek, and the actor playing him comes back playing a companion (!!) later in the story. They have what they assume is a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind which turns out to be a horror theme park, in which the ComicTrio Daleks fight Dracula (and lose). The Daleks make an EvilKnockoff of the Doctor said to be indistinguishable and treated as such by the characters, and he [[ObviousStuntDouble looks nothing like him]]. A Dalek falls off a boat for no reason. Giant killer mushrooms are involved. Robots with flamethrowers try to put Barbara in a robot zoo. [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece It's the sort of thing that could only get made in 1965]] - love it or hate it, they will never make a story like this again.

* HarsherInHindsight: A meta example, as the original conception for Music/TheBeatles cameo would have had them in makeup as old men, doing a 21st-century reunion tour. When Creator/JohnLennon was murdered in 1980, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were actually engaging in talks to possibly do a reunion tour in 1981 or '82. Also, even if John had not been killed, George Harrison only lived till 2001, making a tour in the 21st century with the original Beatles impossible.
