When the Doctor is about to jump out of Brannigan's car, while he's talking about hardly knowing Martha, his face is lit up blue in the close-ups, but instantly changes to white light when it cuts to the "through-the-hatch" upwards view. Why would hovercars, possessing no wheels, make a sound of rubber tyres squealing on tarmac when they slam on their brakes? (For example, listen out when the Doctor opens the lower hatch inside Brannigan's car and the car underneath pulls to a halt.)
Given that the cars can talk to each other (albeit only to those on their "friends list"), it's straining credulity that the characters haven't worked out via casual conversation that all the exits are closed, no police cars have been seen in 24 years, etc! With nothing to do all day but sit in your car by the CB radio, surely people would gossip a lot more and important information like this would be common knowledge? If the traffic moves so very slowly (Brannigan thinks 20 yards in one day is good progress), how can it be that "in the last half-hour, 53 new cars joined from the Pharmacy Town junction" according to the car-spotting Cassini Sister? Where did so many cars find the space to join the traffic?

Huh? So that means you have to kidnap people? Have you never tried asking nicely? There are a lot of people on the road, so no shortage of willing travellers! Why don't more drivers get together and carpool? The reason not many people use the fast lane is because "not many people can afford three passengers" according to Milo. It's impossible for them to be completely different breeds - unless of course Brannigan's wife has been fooling around with another cat.! Ignoring the implausibility of a human female mating with a cat-based humanoid male to produce 100% feline-looking kittens - what's actually even harder to swallow is that Brannigan resembles an orange shorthair, but one of the children/kittens is clearly a blue point Himalayan.
What good do they think this will do? It can't just be frustration, as they'd be too used to the years of traffic to bother. Has it never occurred to anyone to "escape" from their cars at the nearest lay-by and break out the same way the Doctor broke in? It seems odd that everyone is resigned to just sitting in their cars and seemingly don't ever discuss any possible alternatives.Īnd why, given the amount of time these people spend sitting in traffic, are so many of them beeping their horns? For example, you can hear plenty of beeping when the Doctor's on the lay-by platform, just before Brannigan rescues him. So why don't people abandon their cars and try to walk? To underline the point, the Doctor seemingly manages to get from the under-city into the motorway by opening a single locked access door into the lay-by (not a fancy electronic lock, just a standard interior door lock). But to walk 10 miles would only take a few hours, even if you aren't in any particular rush. driving 10 miles to Brooklyn would take 6 years according to Cheen's guess. As he emerges from the tunnel though (just as their car is taking off), his hair is much drier-looking and blowing around in the breeze.
It's been raining just before Martha gets abducted by Milo and Cheen, and the Doctor's hair is noticeably wet and plastered to his head as he tries to follow them through the tunnel. In the opening TARDIS scene, a boom mike can be seen dipping into frame above Martha's head just before the Doctor says "The sky's a burnt orange".
