Continuity Errors is Steven Moffat's very first Doctor Who story, originally published in 1996 in the short story anthology Decalog 3.Notable for displaying a number of themes that have since popped up in Moffat's tenure as head writer and show runner of Doctor Who, including a Deconstruction of the Doctor's methods. | |

Fiction as Cover-Up | |
| Continuity Errors / int_3cb07b51 | comment |
Fiction as Cover-Up: One of the Doctor's methods of concealing himself, according to Candy, is to insert himself in the fiction of the worlds he visits. | |

Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory | |
| Continuity Errors / int_54d6f53f | comment |
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Andrea has a rudimentary one, as it turns out. Benny has a stronger one, probably as a result of TARDIS travel, as she outright tells Andrea that her history isn't what it was five minutes ago, with none of the confusion and uncertainty Andrea has. | |

AlternateCharacterInterpretation | |
| Continuity Errors / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: Invoked by Professor Candy's view of the Doctor, with specific attention paid to the fact he has a telepathic field that affects his companions' perceptions (the translation circuit). Obviously, we're not meant to agree with him. | |

You Can't Fight Fate | |
| Continuity Errors / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: Played With; the entire story is about changing Andrea's fate in order to change the fate of the people of Deltherus 5, and even though Andrea resists the fight as long as possible, the Doctor ultimately proves that you can indeed fight it. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |
| Continuity Errors / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: On its own, the story is complex but self-consistent, with its take on time-travel being that things the Doctor does in the past alter the present in "real time" for those who can perceive it. However, the conceit of Decalog 3 is that all the stories form a big, complicated Stable Time Loop, so even though the history in which Gwendoline survived and became a doctor doesn't exist when Seventh first arrives at the Library because he hadn't saved her "yet", it somehow does exist when Fourth learns about a drug created by the Gwendoline Talwinning Memorial Institute in the next story, even though that's much earlier in his personal timeline. | |

Tuckerization | |
| Continuity Errors / int_95bca4c9 | comment |
Tuckerization: The Kantrassi philosopher Orcnell, author of Four Seasons and a Wedding, i.e., Paul Cornell, author of the four Doctor Who New Adventures that end "Long ago in an English winter/autumn/summer/spring" and the one where Benny gets married. The first passage of 4S&AW includes the phrase "First there is war, then there is peace. First there is love, then there is heartbreak" and Cornell's second NA, in which he introduced Benny, was Love and War. (Which is also the first appearance of the Doctor's claim that he's what monsters have nightmares about, a line Moffat borrows here and elsewhere.) | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
| Continuity Errors / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: The story is initially set up as a deconstruction of the Seventh Doctor's methods, with much of Professor Candy's lecture seemingly meant to present him as an egomaniacal and monstrous manipulator who ruthlessly twists people's lives solely to present himself as a hero when he's ultimately nothing of the kind, and there is much questioning of his morality, even from his friends. However, the story ultimately reconstructs the Doctor as a heroic figure: his manipulations are ultimately done only to save people's lives and to make the world better, and while his influence on Andrea's life is underhanded it is also ultimately nothing but positive. If he truly was in it only for his own ego gratification, there would be much easier (and more brutal) methods of manipulating the situation. | |
