The Caves of Androzani - S21-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Doctor and Peri first land on Androzani, mountains are seen in the background. They disappear when Peri picks up the silica. A couple of shots later, they're back. (This mistake was mentioned on the DVD commentary; the mountain effect was left out for financial reasons).

The Twin Dilemma - S21-E7

Continuity mistake: When the twins start to play equations they are both facing towards us. If they were to face each other, their legs would be touching each other. During the game we again see them at this distance apart. But the third time we see them (as they finish), they have moved at least a metre apart, making it possible for them to face each other comfortably.

The Doctor: This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.

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.
