Did anybody else notice the really stupid mistake in the plot of today's episode?
They got all the nuclear powers to link up to blast the Sontaran spaceship, and listed them one-by-one "USA, Great Britain, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, China, North Korea"
Woah!
What's North Korea doing on the list? Why did they miss out Israel?
If they can't get basic stuff like this straight, how are we supposed to take the rest of it seriously?
--------------------
Update, re Dearieme's comment, I watched the relevant bit, starting at 17 m 20 s in (that BBC online player is really smooth!) the list is actually "North America, United Kingdom, France, India, Pakistan, China, North Korea". So they got UK correct, as it happens, but there's no such country as 'North America', they missed off Russia and got India and Pakistan in the wrong order (all the other countries are listed west-to-east).

Why did they say GB not UK? Howler.
And the answer to your closing question is that we don't even watch it if William Hartnell isn't in it.
Wot...no Iraq?
The Israelis would have more sense than to hand over control of their nukes to some shady international organisation. ;-)
Chill... It ain't real, it's fiction. You are supposed to suspend disbelief. After all, North Korea with nukes is no more daft than a time-travelling police box, is it?
Fiction? Why wasn't I told?
I guess the joined in because fascist clone-race dictators always hate other fascist clone-race dictators.
