The When in Roma Affair - S3-E26

Audio problem: When Bruno takes Darlene to the dungeon to inject her with the truth serum, she screams quite loudly several times, but it's visible that she's gagged. Even if she was able to scream, it should have been somewhat muffled. (00:42:25)

The Apple A Day Affair - S3-E27

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Skully tells Col. Picks that Napoleon and Illya are in town, Picks has a glass of iced tea in his hands. His grip on both the glass and the straws constantly changes back and forth throughout the scene. (00:11:50)

Trivia: When Napoleon uses his pen communicator, he twists the bottom of the antenna after extending it. According to an interview with the prop master on the season 2 DVD, this action wasn't a necessity for the prop to "work". It was just something Robert Vaughn incorporated during filming.

The Off Broadway Affair - S3-E10

Trivia: When Napoleon informs Mr. Waverly that Illya once played the French horn, and Illya corrects him that it was the English horn, Napoleon wonders what the difference is. There is actually quite a difference: the French horn is a member of the brass family, a relative of trumpets and trombones, and the English horn is a member of the woodwind family, a relative of oboes and clarinets.

The My Friend, the Gorilla Affair - S3-E14

Factual error: When Baby the gorilla walks around, he consistently does so bipedally, like a human. While gorillas can walk that way over short distances when carrying food or when defending themselves, they more commonly move quadrapedally on their knuckles.

Trivia: Shari Lewis, who appears in this episode as Janet Jerrod, is the creator of the sock puppet Lamb Chop, which she voiced on various children's shows from 1956 until her death in 1998.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. mistake picture

Show generally

Deliberate mistake: In scenes at U.N.C.L.E. headquarters, the badge on Napoleon's lapel has the number 11 on it instead of the number 2, implying that Napoleon is in the wrong section. This is actually because during filming, Robert Vaughn believed that the number was "2" in Roman numerals (e.g. "II").
