Doctor Who blunder: Rose Tyler's debut appearance exposes major problem 'Impossible!'

DOCTOR WHO companion Rose Tyler made her debut on the BBC sci-fi drama over 15 years ago, however, one eagle-eyed fan seems to have uncovered a blunder from the first-ever episode she starred in back in season one.

Rose (played by Billie Piper) travelled in time and space with the infamous Time Lord for two seasons when Doctor Who was revived in 2005 following a 16-year hiatus from screens. The beloved character, therefore, became the Gallifreyian's first companion in as many years and the pair went on to form a strong bond. By the end of her run on the BBC sci-fi drama, the young east Londoner had fallen in love with David Tennant's, 49, incarnation of the double-hearted alien. However, they were ripped apart when she was plunged into a parallel universe following a battle with the Daleks and the Cybermen. Though, it was her first appearance which seems to have left one viewer very confused as they've discovered a continuity error.

Season one premiered with an episode entitled Rose, centred around the companion of the same name having a chance meeting with The Ninth Doctor (played by Christopher Eccleston) which would change her life forever.

Before battling a sinister force later on in the instalment, Rose's debut began from space as viewers got a glimpse of the Earth from above.

The shot then focussed in on London and more precisely, the beloved character's bedroom where her alarm clock was beeping.

It wasn't long before the Time Lord's companion was carrying on with her mundane life and headed off to work at a department store.

However, it was the very first, opening shot which seemed to raise some questions about a continuity error regarding the direction of the sun from outer space and the time on Rose's alarm clock.

Commenting on the moviemistakes.com blogging platform, one eagle-eyed viewer wrote about the opening shot: "Look again at the start of that sequence.

"It shows that it's daylight over the UK - and over the USA. This is, of course, impossible," they explained.

"When it is 7:30am in London, it is 2:30am in New York, as Eastern Time is 5 hours behind UK time. In New York at 2:30am it is not daylight, because it is the middle of the night.

"In addition, later episodes make it clear this episode is set in March. The North Pole is fully sunlit, which it never is in March, due to the equinox that happens that month."

It seems the time-travelling drama might not have been too specific with the placement of the Earth, but the first episode of season one still proved to be full of drama.
