It seems that Baker was playing with a friend's dog, and the
naughty dog bit him on the mouth, leaving the two cuts around
the corner of his mouth. (Didn't the dog know that he was
playing with a big celebrity?) The director and writer
came up with the cover-up scene of the face-plant that gave
a reason for the cuts for the rest of the four episodes.

The intro to the initial scene on the Tardis where Baker's
mouth was unhurt was taped after the cuts healed and was
edited in to lead into the face-plant portion of the scene.
