Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 5) When Vicki is in the jungle she happens upon the TARDIS and bangs on the door begging to be let in. In the next shot we can see the boom pole/mic hovering in the background, then a hand appears which seems to guide the actress to head in that direction. (00:07:45)

The Power of the Daleks - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Loretta takes Johnny to the airport, she's driving his Oldsmobile with the "Ninety-Eight" emblem missing from the side of the car, but when Loretta pulls into the lot with Mr. Johnny's car, the emblem is attached to the Olds. (00:09:00 - 00:12:25)
8th Feb 2023
Continuity mistake: At the end, while Cosmo pours the Mumm champagne into the two flutes in the closeup, Loretta wears the ring on her middle finger, but it cuts to the wide shot and the ring has suddenly switched to Loretta's ring finger. (01:36:55)
24th Jun 2003
Continuity mistake: At the family meal (minus Loretta), Loretta's father asks for the wine. When Rita passes it to Cosmo his left hand reaches into the shot to take the carafe, but when the shot changes he is shown receiving it in his right hand, and Rita's grasp changes as well. (00:41:00)

5th Feb 2023
Visible crew/equipment: After Jack kills Fro'tak and disintegrates his body with the Zat gun he hides from the guards, then as soon as it cuts to Teal'c and Drey'auc at the house, four T-marks become visible on the floor - white, orange, pink, and blue. (00:23:15)

A 'ohe ia e loa'a aku, he ulua kapapa no ka moana - S10-E21
Continuity mistake: When the Military Police take Lincoln into custody he's handcuffed, then both the left and right handcuffs switch direction while they're around his wrists, note the single and double bars, along with the chain links. Quite impossible. (00:31:40)
4th Oct 2003
Factual error: When Glen and Nancy are talking on the bridge, you can see huge palm trees in the background. Though this was filmed in California (hence visible palm trees at the cemetery), the fictional Springwood is supposed to be in Ohio - they show the location of Springwood on a map at the start of 'Freddy's Dead, the Final Nightmare', and there's no other conflicting in-universe location given within the series. So it's established as Ohio, but there are no palm trees in Ohio. Other California "hints" add to the mistake, such as CA license plates, etc. (00:01:00 - 00:43:22)
5th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: When John-Boy finishes the roof repair he carries the ladder and places it beside the tree, then he notices the unlocked padlock on the garage door.

17th Jan 2023
Revealing mistake: When Briscoe and Green investigate the auto yard with the stolen, blue SUV, Briscoe handcuffs the owner. When he cuffs him, he turns him, showing his back and his hands behind his back. You can see the actor isn't cuffed, just holding the handcuffs as he walks. (00:06:35)
30th Sep 2007
Revealing mistake: When Nathan walks into the classroom singing, the center sliding glass door on the back bookcase is closed in the initial overhead long shot, but in the tracking shots that door has been pushed to the side, so as not to see the reflection of the camera/crew as Nathan walks up the aisle following the camera. (01:42:15)
16th Jan 2023
Visible crew/equipment: At the end, when Aunt Vi and Delilah return home, just as Miles walks into the house, the green T-mark is visible on the floor.
