Continuity mistake: The damaged Orac has long loose wires hanging out when Dorian carries it off the ship, but they disappear in the next shot, when he enters the base. (00:24:40)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: The weather on Terminal has changed from Summer to Winter overnight. When Avon first beams down, it's obviously warm and all the trees have leaves. The very next day, all the trees are bare and there's snow all over the ground. (00:01:30)
28th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Visible crew/equipment: As Servalan begins explaining her nefarious plan to the captured Avon, an equipment shadow slides across the blue diamond-shaped pane just behind her. (00:40:30)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Ultraworld - S3-E10
Factual error: The Ultra may be expert collectors of knowledge, but they have their facts wrong about Avon, who tried to steal 5 million credits from the Federation banking system. The Ultra think it was 500 million. (00:10:05)
20th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Sarcophagus - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: When Tarrant, trying to call Dayna, falls against the flight deck console, the whole thing tilts visibly. (00:38:45)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Sarcophagus - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: The little plastic dome Tarrant places on the alien artifact, connecting it to Orac, disappears when the object begins to disintegrate. (00:24:25)
20th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Revealing mistake: When Liberator moves into view on Servalan's screen and stops, a bad special effects matte causes the stars behind the ship to keep on sliding to the right. (00:21:35)
13th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Other mistake: As the Auron pilot's ship is being brought aboard, a bad scratch on the special effects film briefly creates a large black gash on the hull of Servalan's whale-shaped spaceship. (00:03:05)
13th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Visible crew/equipment: When Avon and Tarrant are consulting Orac about cloning, an equipment shadow crosses Avon's chest. (00:19:20)

Blake's 7 (1978)
City at the Edge of the World - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Dayna's outfit is skin-tight and she's not carrying any sort of backpack. So just where was she hiding that rather large robotic bomb she sends down the hall to blow up Bayban's goons? (The pack on her belt isn't a storage pouch - it's the Liberator handgun's power unit. Note that Avon, Tarrant and Cally wear identical packs, with the guns plugged into them. And it isn't large enough to hold the mobile bomb anyway, not even disassembled.) (00:35:10)

City at the Edge of the World - S3-E6
Visible crew/equipment: When Bayban is introducing himself to Vila, an equipment shadow moves across the back of his studded leather jacket. (00:12:10)
12th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: When Jarvik and Dayna teleport up at the end, her bracelet disappears as they materialize in the teleport bay, but is back when they reach the flight deck a few seconds later. (00:44:30)
12th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: Avon refers to Tarrant hitting him "over the back of the head." But Tarrant didn't. He struck Avon from the front, on the forehead, and not from behind. (00:05:30 - 00:40:45)
12th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Revealing mistake: Liberator's auto-repair circuits have mysteriously stopped functioning. The molding on the top center flight deck console is hanging loose, a glitch that remains for several episodes. (00:23:50)
10th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: The Liberator gun Avon uses to kill two of the three troopers on the flight deck disappears entirely between shots after he's hit by the third trooper's return fire. (00:33:50)
10th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Factual error: Liberator's medical treatments are certainly weird. Vila dresses Avon's wounded arm with padding that's put on over top of his clothing. (00:37:20)
10th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: As the ship falls into the black hole, Cally loses consciousness with her right hand beneath her head. A few shots later, her position reverses and she's lying with her left hand under her head. (00:10:40 - 00:11:35)
9th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
The Keeper - S2-E12
Revealing mistake: Goth's primitive inhabitants are pre-industrial. They wear furs, use swords and other ancient weapons, and live in tents. So where do they come by their shiny black plastic ski goggles? Goth-mart? (00:07:25)
9th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Plot hole: Travis, dressed up as the supposedly disabled dissident Shivan, fools Blake and the rebellion leaders far too easily. His head bandages completely cover his mouth (how did he eat?) and his glued-on glass eye is so obviously fake it's laughable. If we noticed, why didn't they? (00:21:05)
2nd Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: The molecularly miniaturized Orac has been hidden in a metal box while Avon & Vila smuggle him into the casino. Back on the ship, Orac returns to his normal size, but the metal case around him doesn't get larger too - it instantly disappears. (00:50:15)
