The Day of the Doctor - S7-E16
Continuity mistake: In this episode, I. M. Foreman's scrapyard is at the end of the alley next to Coal Hill School. In "An Unearthly Child", the scrapyard was far enough away from the school that Barbara and Ian take Ian's car to get there. Barbara also describes it to Ian as "there's a big wall on one side, houses on the other." If it was right next to the school, she would have mentioned "that scrapyard next to the school." (00:00:15)
Suggested correction: The evidence to this is merely a sign directing people to the scrapyard. This does not indicate whether or not the scrapyard in question is actually at the end of that road.
That still seems to be a point to bring up. Or better yet, "Her address is the same as the scrapyard on that sign outside the school."

Other mistake: When the Doctor tells the Atraxi "Oh, you're not the first lot to have come here, there have been so many," one of the monsters shown from their scan of Earth is a group of Ood. Even if in one of their uprisings they attacked the Earth, it would have been in the far future. The Doctor has had no encounters with them on Earth, and he knows them to be peaceful, so why would they be amongst the aliens who have threatened the planet? The only Ood who has been to Earth at this point is Ood Sigma, and he didn't come to attack. In addition, a group of Hath is also shown. These aliens have never been seen on Earth at all. (00:53:30)

The Sound of Drums (2) - S3-E12
Trivia: When the Doctor turns Martha's TV around to find the bomb, there's a sticker above it from Magpie Electricals, the TV shop from "The Idiot's Lantern." (00:14:25)

Evolution of the Daleks (2) - S3-E5
Question: What are the words being chanted in the Dalek "theme music" in this episode?
Answer: "Mah koreh, mah mah koreh": Hebrew for "What is happening?"
Chosen answer: There are no words. It's just strange alien music.

Deliberate mistake: When the Doctor is watching news broadcasts from around the world about the ghosts, the newspeople from France, India and Japan should be heard speaking English because of the TARDIS' automatic translation. (00:05:55)
8th Apr 2008
Continuity mistake: When Miss Foster uses her sonic device on the window-washer's crane, she points it at the right-side cable, but it's the left-side cable that breaks. (00:26:25)

Trivia: Possible Spoiler: At the time of this writing, it is generally believed that the "Mister Saxon" referred to throughout Season 3 will turn out to be The Master. One piece of evidence backing this theory is The Master's penchant for anagrammatic aliases: Mister Saxon is an anagram of "Master No Six," and if it's true, John Simm would be the 6th actor to play The Master. [Russell T Davies (who wrote most of the episodes) has said that the anagram is pure coincidence which was picked up by some people, but was completely unintended. Still interesting regardless.]

Trivia: In "Human Nature", when John Smith (The Doctor's human identity) is talking about his parents, he says their names are Sydney and Verity. Sydney Newman was the creator of Doctor Who and Verity Lambert was the first producer. (00:30:00)

Evolution of the Daleks (2) - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When the people in Hooverville are meeting around the campfire, it's raining. However, everyone's clothes and hats are completely dry. (00:28:05 - 00:28:45)
