A seemingly insignificant detail in classic Doctor Who's Ace's wardrobe led to a humorous continuity error.
Doctor Who aired episodes out of order back in 1988, and created a ridiculous plot hole . Modern Doctor Who viewers are used to the idea there's a loose narrative flow running through the series, one that typically builds to a climax in a season finale. Sure, there's some debate over whether Doctor Who season 14 was broadcast in order, but otherwise everything seems to flow pretty well. Classic Doctor Who was a little different.
Stories ran through multiple episodes, but tended to be stand-alone. There were occasions where continuity mattered, usually involving major events in a companion's life, but otherwise the stories were all designed as fresh jumping-on points. All that began to change in Sylvester McCoy's Seventh Doctor era, which foreshadows modern Who in quite a few ways. Unfortunately, this caused a subtle plot hole that remains rather amusing to this day. Ace's Jacket Has The Wrong Pin In Doctor Who Season 25 The issues flow from Sophie Aldred's Doctor Who companion Ace, a character who was something of a trailblazer. Introduced as a waitress working on the planet Iceworld, Ace was a far cry from the'damsel in distress' trope seen in some of the older companions. She could hold her own against the most terrifying enemies, tossing Nitro-Nine grenades at her enemies and even beating a Dalek up with a cosmically-charged baseball bet. Ace sported a (then) fashionable jacket with numerous pins on it, and was frequently seen sporting a cool rucksack. Unfortunately, as ridiculous as it may sound, these outfit details caused a subtle continuity problem. Ace was shown wearing a new pin on her jacket in'The Happiness Patrol' and'Silver Nemesis' - one she wouldn't acquire until the later story'The Greatest Show In The Galaxy'
