Okay, I remember the screws on the catflap being knocked out I think. I can accept that; perhaps I just missed the connection there. I do remember the arm rattling around in the bin all right.

The next bit is slightly more complex because you need to have seen the 2 Jon Pertwee stories in the 70s that explain all this.
The Nestine insert commands into the plastic like a computer program to activate it at a certain time. Maybe they only activated the dummies first because they're armed (Literally haha) for the reason below....

They took over a plastics factory and made them and supplied them, that's what they did the other two times they tried to take over the world, no reason to suspect they wouldn't do it again.

Okay but that's a little tough on people who are coming new to the show. I think that should have been at least mentioned.
