Earthshock - S19-E6
Other mistake: In episode 4, as the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa are being led away from the bridge, the Cyberleader loses his footing when he gets to the bottom step, and stumbles/trips up (He recovers himself very quickly; so quickly in fact, that this mistake was left in the finished episode). (01:24:45)
Earthshock - S19-E6
Plot hole: The freighter traveling back in time makes no sense. According to Adric, the Cybermen's computer is responsible, yet the Cybermen possess no such technology; their machine's task was simply to navigate the freighter towards Earth. The idea that time travel could happen by accident is also absurd. (01:30:05)
Earthshock - S19-E6
Plot hole: The Cyber Leader states that he needs the Doctor to pilot the TARDIS. It makes no sense then, that he would try to kill the Doctor once inside, and before the TARDIS had landed in a safe place. (01:33:55)
Earthshock - S19-E6
Revealing mistake: Just before the Cyberman fires on the console, you can see Adric trying to keep as far away from it as possible before it explodes. (01:35:05)
Earthshock - S19-E6
Audio problem: In episode two, the Cyberleader misses a button on his console, yet we still hear a beep...
Earthshock - S19-E6
Factual error: As the spaceship approaches the Earth of 65 million years ago, the Earth looks very much like the present day one. Hasn't anyone heard of "continental drift"? The Earth's land masses of 65 million years ago were not where they are now. (This has been fixed on the DVD)
Earthshock - S19-E6
Continuity mistake: In episode four, as they approach the TARDIS, the female member of the remaining troopers is grabbed and doesn't make it inside. But when the troopers do get inside the TARDIS, it's a man that's missing.
Earthshock - S19-E6
Factual error: The Cybermen sets four explosive charges around the outside of the door, yet only the middle part of the door is damaged...
Earthshock - S19-E6
Continuity mistake: The mouth panel of the Cybermen costumes was originally intended to be a clear perspex panel. During filming, it was felt that this showed too much of the actor inside the Cyberman costumes. So a decision was taking - mid way though filming - to paint over the 'clear' panel with silver paint. However, this does result in the mouth panels of every Cyberman alternating from 'clear' to 'silver' from shot to shot.
Earthshock - S19-E6
Revealing mistake: During the "cliffhanger ending" at the end of episode 3, it's blatantly obvious that the three columns of advancing Cybermen are merely mirror images of each other. The head of each column has black head bars indicating leadership, and is holding his gun in exactly the same position.
Earthshock - S19-E6
Revealing mistake: When Lieutenant Scott kills the second Cyberman on the bridge, he starts falling down way too early.
Earthshock - S19-E6
Revealing mistake: The "dead" crewmembers at the end of episode two can be seen breathing.
Earthshock - S19-E6
Visible crew/equipment: Just after the Doctor has explained the anti-matter to Adric, the shadow of the boom mike is visible in his blonde hair.
Time-Flight - S19-E7
Factual error: The Pleistocene Period began around 1.8 million years ago, not 140 million years ago as stated.
Plot hole: In "The Five Doctors", Susan tells Turlough that she can pilot the TARDIS to some extent. During series 1 and 2, it was clear that she couldn't pilot it at all. She couldn't have been taught between episodes as the Doctor had little idea himself at the time.
Revealing mistake: When a Cyberman's arm is sliced off by the Robot's shuriken, you can see his real arm bulging out at the right side of his body. (01:00:25)
Other mistake: The Cyber Leader is supposed to follow the Master's footsteps exactly in order to get across the chessboard. He doesn't. This cannot be classed as a character mistake because the Cyber Leader knew what was involved. I believe this mistake was caused by the actor not being able to see the chessboard through his helmet.
Continuity mistake: After the Raston Warrior Robot has killed all the Cybermen, watch the dead Cyberman in the back right of the picture. His arm position changes as the robot teleports away.
Revealing mistake: When the crack in the wall breaks open, the wall wobbles rather obviously.
Visible crew/equipment: As the Doctor is watching Will emerge from the priest-hole, look over his shoulder at the far corner. Someone or something appears to be moving in the shadows there.
Answer: In 'The Five Doctors', three separate Cyberleaders are definitely used. So it's likely that Cyberleaders are like unit commanders, of which a fair-sized army might have several.
