Through a Lens Darkly - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: When Tom lifts up the girl's sweater (with both hands), he is still wearing his shirt. In the very next shot, he has magically lost his shirt too, even though his hands aren't free to take it off, and the girl wouldn't have had time to do so in the space of 1 second.

It's Not Such a Wonderful Life - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: In the previous episode, Tom was shot and had a scar from the resulting bullet wound. In this episode, when he takes his shirt off on Christmas Eve while talking to Alison, the scar tissue has completely vanished. Bullet wound scar tissue - even after years - doesn't completely vanish. It's been less than months since the previous episode.

The Enemy Within - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Tom and the girl get back from the dance, they go into the sitting room to see that there is a roaring fire already going, with the stove door open and a whole log on the fire that's barely been touched. The fire is too high and the log too untouched to have been burning before Tom and the girl left to go to the dance, and there's no one else in the house to have started it before Tom and the girl arrive home and open the door to the sitting room.

Live and Let Die mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The scene where Bond leaves the voodoo shop to tail the car. He hails a cab. As the cab draws up, we briefly see the cabbie in the front, who does not have long sideburns/mutton chops. However, shortly afterwards when the cabbie starts talking to Bond, and we see him more, it is a different actor (Arnold Williams), who has noticeably long sideburns. The driver has changed.

For Your Eyes Only mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The escape scene from Gonzalez's villa. Bond uses a sun umbrella as a parachute. The camera shows Bond jumping, under the opened umbrella. At that point, the umbrella canopy doesn't have any bullet holes in it. Bond reaches the ground, lets go of the umbrella and runs. The camera cuts to the guard on the ledge above about to fire at the umbrella. He hasn't yet fired any bullets, but in the next shot there are suddenly already bullet holes in the canopy before the guard actually begins firing.

A Hit is a Hit - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The scene where Hesh and Massive Genius are sitting down and drinking. Massive Genius has just requested that Hesh pay reparations money. Paulie then steps forwards, aggressively demanding "or what?" Behind him, Chris is standing by the white pillar. However, two shots and 2 seconds later, when the camera cuts back to Tony's holding Paulie back, Chris has completely disappeared from the veranda - he is neither behind Paulie or Silvio.

Continuity mistake: The scene where Carver is writing the newspaper headline, he changes it from "British sailors killed" to "British sailors murdered." The camera then cuts to a close up of his face, and reflected in his glasses we see the other page (with the headline in different languages). The top text box changes so it has two rows of text. However, when the camera cuts back as Stamper calls in, there is mysteriously only one line of text again.
