Castrovalva - S19-E1
Deliberate mistake: The newly regenerated Fifth Doctor is wearing completely different shoes than the Fourth Doctor did in the previous story. This is deliberate. The boots worn by the Fourth Doctor were actually privately owned by actor Tom Baker. Still, a mistake but this is why.
Continuity mistake: In "The Deadly Assassin" the Doctor's blood is red but in "State of Decay" his blood is suddenly dark blue. Then it's back to being red in "The Two Doctors."
Other mistake: In every William Hartnell title scene there is a point where it tells you that you are watching "DOCTOR OHO". It lasts for three seconds and is probably the result of a lazy FX team as the left side is a mirror image of the right.
Visible crew/equipment: Episode 1: After Sarah teases the Doctor a bit when he's being somewhat moody, just as the TARDIS is suddenly thrust off its flight path (which was back to UNIT), Sarah and the Doctor are thrown about in the wonky console room (because the camera turns sideways), and the second camera becomes visible at the left side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: While The Doctor and Zoe are on the SIDRAT, The Doctor expresses hope to get the hang of its controls. When the SIDRAT materializes, in the shot facing the door as The Doctor pokes his head out to exit, the camera turns toward the right and there's a reflection of the moving camera and the camera operator walking behind the camera, at the right side of the screen. (00:08:25)
Revealing mistake: When Slaar discovers the video link is operational and being viewed on Earth, in the closeups of Slaar we can see the edge of the reptilian mask and the actor's real human neck. (00:20:40)
Revealing mistake: Episode 6, while in the barn Von Weich asks Moor (played by David Troughton, son of Patrick, who plays The Doctor) to retrieve the monocle in his pocket. Then, when Von Weich continues with his plan, in his closeups we can see a vertical piece of mesh tape over the actor's right eye. (00:13:05)
Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 5) After The Daleks plan to organize a full-scale search of the jungle at daybreak, when it cuts to The Doctor and Ian, the shadow of the boom mic moves around at the left side of the screen. (00:16:35)
Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 4) After Ian shudders from the apparition he continues to follow The Doctor down the hall, and the camera casts a shadow on Ian. Then, when The Doctor finds the stairs leading to the laboratory he tells Ian he must see what's on the table. Just as Ian states his displeasure at the thought, the boom mic (and its shadow) pops up into view at the bottom of the screen, in front of Ian. (00:05:15)
The Power of the Daleks - S4-E3
Deliberate mistake: During all the animated parts of "The Power of the Daleks" in numerous shots various illustrated character's such as The Doctor, Polly, and Ben have their buttons, pockets, patches, etc, flipped to the opposite side, sometimes even within the very same shot.
Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 6) At the very end, after Vicki and The Doctor have watched Barbara and Ian's return to 1965 on the Time-Space Visualiser, when Vicki hugs The Doctor the moving boom mic casts a shadow at the top, left of the screen. (00:24:30)
Continuity mistake: After Skagra demands the book from Professor Chronotis, as Skagra's sphere floats toward Chronotis he's wearing his eyeglasses, but then the Professor's eyeglasses vanish and reappear while his hands are raised.
Continuity mistake: During the animated portions of Shada's missing scenes, in numerous shots an illustrated character's clothing (buttons, scarf, etc) become flipped, sometimes even within the same shot. Example: when The Doctor goes to the physics lab and meets Clare Keightley, note her buttons and The Doctor's scarf.
Visible crew/equipment: After Chris exits the TARDIS with the medical kit, Romana places the collar around the Professor's neck. When Romana tells Chris that Chronotis, "Should be able to think with it," in the next closeup of Chris the moving boom mic is visible at the top of the screen, before he kneels down.
The Sea Devils: Episode Six - S9-E14
Continuity mistake: The Doctor and the Master partake in a boat chase. They are both soaking wet when they arrive at land but in the next shot their hair and clothes have magically dried.
The Curse of Peladon: Episode One - S9-E5
Continuity mistake: When the TARDIS falls on the cliff at the beginning, the Doctor helps Jo out of it. In the next shot (model shot) the Doctor and Jo are nowhere to be seen.
The Daleks - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The Doctor removes his coat and it's left in the prison cell but in the brief shot of the Doctor and Barbara pushing Dalek Ian, the Doctor is inexplicably wearing his coat again.
The Evil of the Daleks - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: (Animated version). Waterfield puts down the photo of the Doctor on his desk but the next time we see his desk the photo is no longer there and then later it's back on the desk again, without Waterfield having moved it.
Visible crew/equipment: When the Doctor and Ian enter the house in episode one, there is a shadow of the camera on the wall next to Ian.
Visible crew/equipment: In the fourth part, as the mortally wounded fighter is falling against the back wheel of the cart, the camera is positioned low and its shot is panned upwards, revealing the top of the cyclorama, a large concave backcloth that has been pulled around the studio walls (presumably BBC Studio 1) to give the impression of daylight in these studio-shot but supposedly external scenes.
Answer: It was never destroyed on-screen; it was intact at the end of the TV movie, and destroyed by the start of the 2005 series. It was destroyed in the novel "The Ancestor Cell," but in a completely different manner to what happened in the series.
