You are exploring the Discontinuity Index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.
Please discuss only those whole stories which have already been released, and obey our spoiler policy.

This page is for discussing the ways in which Casualties of War (audio story) doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, please do not sign your posts. Also, keep all posts about the same continuity error under the same bullet point. You can add a new point by typing:

* This is point one.
::This is a counter-argument to point one.
:::This is a counter-argument to the counter-argument above
* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 
  • Hex doesen't know about VE Day, but he surely must, as he would have learnt about it in school in 2005.
Perhaps Hex wasn't lying when he said he must've been off sick.
No, surely he mustn't. Many, many people don't know about VE Day, as it's not, in many countries, a specific holiday of any kind any more. Hex, too, is the product of a medical education; he's simply not a history buff. Now, if Barbara were to fail to recognize VE Day, or maybe if Hex came from an Eastern European country, that'd definitely be a continuity issue. But a British male nurse from 2020 failing to know VE Day? That's hardly a big deal.
