Continuity mistake: Allison wakes up with an address in her hand, but when she later shows it to Scanlon, the writing is in a different position on the paper, and the paper does not show the folds it had earlier.

The Wrong Mans (2013)
Wanted Mans - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: We see the MI5 agents report Sam and Phil's identities to the Director. With the ID cards on screen, they state Sam as being 29, with a date of birth 25/03/1983. The series was released in 2013, so this age fits with the show's production dates of late-2012 or early-2013. However, Phil's age is described as 31 (but DOB is visible as 11/09/1985 - which would make him 26 or 27). Phil's age is detailed as 31 elsewhere in the series. (00:01:25)

Surface (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Miles jumps off the ferry to swim ashore, the camera view is from the ferry: he jumps into quiet, fairly level water, yet the camera recedes from him (he jumped off the back of the boat as the camera continues moving with the boat). The angle changes and we see the wake of the boat - but it's not what he jumped into.

Surface (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Rich is held captive in the locked room, he looks out and sees the "Countdown to Landfall" counter at 19min, 51sec. A few minutes later (in plot time), a scientist is seen saying they're now "23 minutes out." (00:11:25 - 00:12:30)

The Last Ship (2014)
Continuity mistake: Chandler is reviewing the President's paperwork and finds the manifests which brought his wife and daughters from Washington (document dated 07-05-13) and his son from Detroit (document dated 08-02-13). He then checks the computer for casualty figures in Michigan where the son was originally from (dated 8/4/14-onwards). So the plague hit in early August 2014, but the documents show the family leaving their home a full year earlier. This is not a plot issue (no, they did not fly out a year prior to the plague), but rather a prop-maker error. (00:28:00)
