Revealing mistake: Episode 15, "Faceoff": When the agent fires the hook to get to the roof of the church, it does not reach the balcony. However in a following shot you can see the agent climbing there. (00:10:05)
Blood Drive - S2-E6
Character mistake: Zayday makes incorrect statements about blood types. She mentions that, since Chanel #5 is type O-, her parents must also be O-; in actuality, they could each be type A or B (genotypes AO or BO, respectively) and could also have Rh+ blood as long as they also carry the recessive Rh- allele. Zayday also says that the child of two O+ parents must be O+, but actually the child could also be O- (again, if the parents carry the Rh- allele).
Continuity mistake: In the morning, Annie comes into the kitchen and says hi to her niece and nephew. Her jacket is alternately buttoned or unbuttoned. (00:39:30)
Continuity mistake: Gandia dislocates his right hand thumb/wrist to free his right hand from the handcuff as shown from the back but the next shot shows a free left hand instead.
The Tale of the Pinball Wizard - S1-E13
Visible crew/equipment: When Russ is in the royal chair and it is moving on its own, right after it hits the witch you can see a crewman behind the chair pushing it.
End Game (1) - S8-E7
Revealing mistake: Boyd has a video-conversation with Linda on the phone she sent him. On top of the screen you can see how long the video will last (1 minute and 3 seconds), showing it's a pre-recorded video, not an actual live conversation.
With This Ring, I Thee Kill! - S1-E7
Factual error: Rhodes views the silent movie and the film breaks, leaving the last frame frozen on the screen. Wouldn't happen. When 16mm film broke in 1970s projectors, any portion that jammed in the mechanism was exposed to intense heat from the projection lamp, and would burn. (00:35:30)
Factual error: Haloclines are referred to throughout, and depicted occasionally as some sort of underwater tornadoes. Haloclines are in fact just salinity gradients, and look nothing like they do on the show.
The Mind of Simon Foster - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: When the pawnbroker closes his metal gate, he's facing the wire mesh. When the shot cuts, he's instantly facing away from it. (00:10:15)
Revealing mistake: Hannah sits in a conference room and pulls a landline phone towards her to dial her friend, asking about the will Owen left. The phone however isn't in any way connected, hence no call could have taken place.
Revealing mistake: Mr Knight shoots Suzie Boreton - after the muzzle flashes and sounds stop the bolt of his MK14 EBR continues to move back and forth as if it's still firing. (00:30:30)
Near Death Experience - S12-E1
Revealing mistake: At the end Jack wrestles the knife out of the attacker's hand and in doing so cuts his own hand. However in the extreme close up you can see the rubber knife is bending when Jack wrestles it away. (01:30:30)
Factual error: The depiction of the hanging is completely inaccurate. By the 1890s, the gallows at Newgate were housed in a room within the prison, not in the courtyard. Prisoners' wrists and legs were pinioned before they were hanged, not left free as depicted. The long drop was used in Britain from the 1870s, not the short drop depicted. The large knot depicted was not used in Britain (although it was in America) ; a simple sliding loop was actually used, and this was positioned under the jawbone at the side of the neck, not at the back of the neck, which would quite probably not have broken the neck, leaving the person to strangle to death.
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: DI Chandler calls a suspect "Daniel Wilkie." However when the interview is done he goes and talks to Ed, saying "you've just arrested Ben Wilkie."
Continuity mistake: Early in the episode as she is on a fire escape looking to hide somewhere, the window she opens from the outside has two half panes of glass, but on the inside it only has one pane of glass.
Factual error: Chief Superintendent Hilton wears the ribbons of the General Service Medal (awarded for military service in a combat zone, most commonly in Northern Ireland) and the Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal (awarded for twenty years' service), but not the Golden Jubilee Medal (awarded to all officers with five years' service in 2002), which he would also have. When he reappears in Series 4, he is wearing the Golden Jubilee Medal, Diamond Jubilee Medal (awarded in 2012) and Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, which would all be correct, but no longer has the General Service Medal.
Continuity mistake: When Miles jumps off the ferry to swim ashore, the camera view is from the ferry: he jumps into quiet, fairly level water, yet the camera recedes from him (he jumped off the back of the boat as the camera continues moving with the boat). The angle changes and we see the wake of the boat - but it's not what he jumped into.
A Single Piece Was Lost - S1-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When the Gruenaks attack the Scientist a puppeteer is visible to the right of one of the Gruenaks, just before it grabs the bird cage and throws it onto the Scientist's head. (00:28:18)
Is Lupin Burning... ?! - S1-E1
Other mistake: The logo of the evil organization, Scorpion, contains just a little misspelling. It's missing the R. (00:02:50)
Character mistake: The FBI team responds to a murder crime scene. The victim is lying face down in the bed with blood everywhere. The team leader takes the victim's wrist with his bare ungloved hand. A trained FBI agent would never touch a murder victim without gloves - one to protect himself and two not to contaminate the crime scene. (00:10:00)
