In the episode ‘Straight Ahead’, there was a shot in which what appeared to be the Inspector dropping their optic pocketknife,
which was supposed to signal that they were dead because Mona wasn’t there to prevent their death.

Whenever a story introduces some seemingly insignificant person that the Inspector interacts with,
you can be certain that said character will end up dead before the story is complete.

While we’ve seen a glimpse into the Inspector’s childhood (two very different instances),
it might be interesting to see how Infinity Knights educate their prospective inductees.

Longtime viewers of the programme know that the Inspector wasn’t born into Infinity Knight society,
but their family must have undertaken a process that led to their induction into said society, education and all.

At least those in charge of government projects know
to locate dangerous experiments somewhere away from major population centres.

Most of the time the Inspector comes across some villain conducting unholy experiments,
said activities take place in the middle of a major city, such as London.

Although the Inspector has visited Blorgonnon a few times while the Blorgons are there,
the Blorgons’ home world is effectively abandoned throughout most of the programme.

Everyone knows how the Inspector feels about goodbyes,
but abandoning Constable Reggie like they did was just cold.

What would the Inspector do if they stumbled upon a planet where
robots had enslaved other robots to perform their jobs for them?

I’m a little uncertain whether Brooke Rhapsody actually married a hologram, as she claimed.
But, I would believe the Inspector would have attempt to have sex with one.

The tooting of the horns from ‘The Beginning of Space’
turned out to be a signal sent by the Infinity Knights to haunt the Sergeant, in hopes that he would bring them back into normal spacetime.

In ‘After the Drought’, the Inspector implies that Salieri was replaced by a time traveller,
as a means of explaining how the Bootstrap Paradox works, though they imply they weren’t actually Salieri.
‘Oh, no, I would never do such a thing. Salieri was quite mad, you see.’

The fact that Infinity Knights, including the Inspector, have no heart was initially included as a way to make the titular character more alien than they appeared.
It was later retconned into their having no such organ as an explanation for why the Third Inspector was less-than-eager to take actions that required a lot of movement. Even later, it was changed to be why the Inspector needed to be fleeing all the time.

At least when it comes to portraying the programme’s history,
Inspector Spacetime doesn’t force the story of its creation into actual episodes of the programme. No, IS just creates non-canon specials, like The Spacetime Adventures.

The Sole Circuit Chap apparently had the ability to generate electrical storms so that it could recharge itself.
But, where did the energy come from to generate the storms in the first place?

The flooding event in ‘Heavy Water’ was attributed to
the aliens that dwelt in the River Thames manipulating the weather,
since they lived off the energy generated by the rushing waters.

The Inspector regularly complains that the EASP system has gone offline for no apparent reason,
only for the BOOTH to suddenly transport herself away from danger, leaving the Inspector and their Associates exposed to said threat.
