Pyramids of Mars - S13-E3

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: In episode 4, look out for the legendary "Hand of Sutekh" - a hand (presumably that of a member of the crew) holding the cushion down in the scene where Sutekh stands up.

Pyramids of Mars - S13-E3

Visible crew/equipment: In episode four, after Marcus opens the second door in the pyramid (the one with the hidden switch), someone wearing a white shirt can be seen through the opening.

The Android Invasion - S13-E4

Visible crew/equipment: In episode one, the Doctor and Sarah crouch behind a pod to escape the android laser fire. They lie on a large brown piece of cloth conveniently placed to keep them from getting dirty.

Earthshock - S19-E6

Question: In Earthshock, season 19, at the end of episode 3, the Cyber Leader views his troops marching down the corridor. Each column is headed by a Cyber Leader. Is this a mistake, or is there more than one Cyber Leader allowed per army?

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.
