Factual error: The diving bell descends to 4000 feet, where no light can penetrate and the ocean around them should be pitch black. But some strange, unseen phenomenon is lighting up the bell quite nicely for the camera. (00:21:15)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Puppeteer - S1-E21
Revealing mistake: Zachariah Skull's bald head has a problem. The latex skull-cap used to cover the actor's hair keeps bubbling and wrinkling as he speaks. (00:43:00)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: In close-up, Illya is covering the phone receiver with his left hand, but drops the hand to his side when he tells the operator, "Never mind." There's an immediate cut to a wider angle, and his left hand is suddenly back on the receiver in the same position as before. (00:24:00)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19
Plot hole: Waverly installs the explosive ring on Solo's finger and arms it, then says, "No one is to know you've been issued a priority ring." Odd command. It's a huge and conspicuous gold and red ring that he can't take off, and everyone at U.N.C.L.E. knows what it is. So how can Solo possibly keep it a secret? (00:07:25)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)

The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Murderous Spring - S1-E27
Revealing mistake: Kitten bends apart the cell bars, allowing West and Gordon to escape. But when they brush against it on the way out, one of the "iron" bars gives, flexing like the rubber that it probably is. (00:40:30)
28th Sep 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night of the Burning Diamond - S1-E26
Revealing mistake: Artemus is sampling beef stroganoff from a pot on the stove. He then carries the kettle by its swinging handle across the room, tilting it just enough to reveal to the camera that it's really empty. (00:43:10)
28th Sep 2006
The Wild Wild West (1965)
The Night That Terror Stalked the Town - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: West pulls a gun on Artemus and places it just behind his head. In the next shot, though, West is standing two feet away and the gun is nowhere near Artemus' head. (00:45:30)

Sapphire & Steel (1979)
Revealing mistake: "Dr. McDee Must Die" (Adventure 5, Part 3): When the champagne glass shatters in front of Sapphire, you can see the mini explosive charge used to break it. It lands on the table among the glass shards. (00:10:00)
27th Sep 2006

The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: On the beach, Molina is petite, thin and small-chested in her wetsuit. Underwater, she mysteriously gains several pounds, bigger muscles and a much larger bust, thanks to a poorly-matched stunt double. (00:12:00)
26th Sep 2006
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964)
The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Seaview is on the ocean floor investigating the underwater city. Two inserted stock shots then show it up near the surface at periscope depth. In the next shot, though, it's back on the bottom again. (00:43:15)
26th Sep 2006
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964)
The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Seaview's windows form 8 horizontal rectangles in 2 rows across its bow. But the interior sets have windows that form vertical rectangles, and they're much closer together than they are in the exterior shots. (00:02:30)
26th Sep 2006
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964)
The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2

25th Sep 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Fiery Angel Affair - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: Carlos asks Illya if he's an American, and Illya nods in agreement. He's not undercover and has no reason to lie, so maybe he's suffering from temporary amnesia. He's a Russian citizen working for an international organization HQ'd in New York. He lived in the US, but was never an American. (00:04:20)
