Continuity mistake: This all takes place before Revenge of the Sith. Anakin is talking to a holo of a pregnant Padme, but he doesn't find out she's pregnant until he returns from rescuing the Chancellor in that film.

Suggested correction: Just because the audience noticed Padme is pregnant does not mean Anakin did.

Corrected entry: Uncle Ono is there and was attacked but the season before he was murdered with poison.
Correction: The episodes were aired in anachronic order: "Senate Murders", where Ono dies, is set after the events of this episode. There's a list on the Star Wars website for anyone curious.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Other mistake: Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers the Mandalorians and gets into a fist fight with them, punching one in the face a few times, who reacts with obvious discomfort. But the one hit is wearing Mandalorian armour, famously resistant to all kinds of weaponry, and Obi-Wan is barehanded! The Mandalorian should be laughing off his attempts. Not to mention that later he surprises another armed guard in Mandalorian armour and knocks him out with two barehanded blows to the helmet.

Suggested correction: It must be pointed out that unlike the Mandos he's fighting, Obi-Wan explicitly has supernatural powers, powers that most certainly help with things like punching out people in full armour. Seeing this as a "mistake" is kind of ridiculous in a space fantasy series.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Corrected entry: When the ship crashes, Anakin says, "If you'd (you had) hit that second fighter..." But Obi Wan did hit it. He meant to say, "If you hadn't..."
Correction: The fighter that Anakin refers to, which collided with their stolen shuttle and caused the damage that results in them crashing, was in fact not shot down by Obi-Wan beforehand. The dialogue is in fact perfectly accurate to what happened.

Plot hole: Cato doesn't even know who Ord (the person she is impersonating) is, and yet she manages to perfectly imitate his voice and manner. She wouldn't have transformed her own internal organs, since she probably would have ruptured them.

Suggested correction: Quite apart from anything else, Cato is a member of a shapeshifting species, so why wouldn't she be able to perfectly take the form of another species? And her internal organs have nothing to do with the plot of this episode.

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."

Corrected entry: When the Doctor and Clara are on the motorbike, Clara says her first line without moving her lips.
Correction: Rewatching the episode, not actually the case.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Rory pushes a Dalek backwards it has ear lights but in the next shot it doesn't.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The close-up shot of the Dalek just as Rory pushes it is positioned such that the ear lights, and the place where they're mounted, isn't visible anyway.

Doctor Who (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Donna starts fiddling with the Adipose necklace she stole, this causes an Adipose to be created out of Stacey's fat cells. When this begins, Stacey is in the upstairs bathroom applying lip gloss, and she's holding the applicator wand when her stomach begins to move. When she pulls up her shirt to look at her distending stomach in the mirror, the lip gloss wand is gone. (00:07:15)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Actually, it looks like she finished putting on lip gloss and put the lid with the applicator back on just before she starts feeling queasy from the impending Adipose birth.

Doctor Who (2005)
Corrected entry: When Bill asks the Doctor to tell her if his cooperation with the Monks is a trick or an illusion while holding him at gunpoint, she's holding the pistol in a two-handed grip. When the camera cuts to the Doctor as he lies that it isn't a trick, and then back to Bill, she's suddenly holding the gun with one hand. (00:18:15)
Correction: The problem is this doesn't occur in consecutive shots. After the first closeup of Bill there's a shot facing the Doctor as he says, "It's not a trick. It's not a plan. I have joined the Monks," and in that moment Bill has ample time to simply lower her arm/hand. No continuity issue in this sequence of shots.
If you look really carefully at the shot immediately after the first one, facing the Doctor, Bill's hand, holding the gun, is visible - and she's only holding it in one hand in that shot as well.
I've got it playing now as I'm typing. I understand what you're saying, but compare this shot to the prior shot from a similar angle, right after Bill has taken the gun, just as the Doctor says, "Bill, put...put the gun down," then she replies, "I'm serious, Doctor." Here we can see Bill's right hand high on the gun's grip, with her left support hand quite a bit lower, and it's at the same height as her right sleeve at the wrist. Now if we look at the specific shot we're talking about, we really can only see Bill's right hand because the shot cuts off at the bottom of the screen, so we can't even see that sleeve or her left hand. It's offscreen.

Doctor Who (2005)
Corrected entry: When Bill bursts into the toilets at the Sydney restaurant, the door is shown swinging inwards, and during her and the Doctor's subsequent conversation, the hinges are shown to make the door swing in. When Heather arrives and the two flee the toilets, as the Doctor yells for the restaurant patrons to get out, the door suddenly swings outward. (00:35:55)
Correction: Some doors swing both ways. It is common in restaurants.
Not only is this the door to a toilet, the hinges are visible on screen, and they are normal, one-way hinges, not the kind you'd find on restaurant doors.
The mistake is indeed wrong. The door hinge we see may appear like a normal hinge with knuckles and pin, but it's actually a double acting spring hinge that allows the door to swing in both directions. Also, there is no door knob hardware, only a swinging door push plate on the door. I've personally seen women's restrooms which have an outer swinging door with fully enclosed floor-to-ceiling inner cubicles (we see their "reflection" in the mirror) such as the ones shown.
Sorry, forgot to include the link: http://www.projectgalleryla.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Cafe-Door-Pivot-Hinges-Home-Depot.jpg.
Looking at the scene again, that would explain why the side of the hinge is visible in the shot where Heather bursts out of the bathroom. It's still a) not very clear on camera, and b) really weird to have that kind of door on a bathroom.
That's right, it's exactly the reason why we're able to see the barrel of this type of hinge when Heather opens the door outward. And I agree, I also think it's really weird to have that kind of a door on a bathroom. Go figure why some establishments have done that.

Corrected entry: Bill grabs an umbrella as a makeshift weapon before entering the bathroom of her flat. After she enters and finds the bathtub wet, the umbrella has vanished. (00:24:20)
Correction: We see the umbrella leaning against the towel rack at the wall beside the bathtub. Bill placed it there while offscreen at the start of the closeup of the tub drain, before her hand appears.
Rewatched the scene and spotted the reclusive brolly - you are, indeed, correct.
