The Angels Take Manhattan - S7-E6
Continuity mistake: When Amy and Rory are arguing after he puts her left hand to his chest and she grabs his shirt, in close-ups of her, she has her right arm raised instead. (00:36:00)
The Angels Take Manhattan - S7-E6
Continuity mistake: When they are back in the cemetery at the end, the Angel shows up right behind Rory. In the first shot facing Rory, as the camera zooms in on a close-up of the Angel, the Angel's right arm/hand is pointing straight out, and its left open hand is up in a grabbing position. After River asks where the hell it came from, in the Angel's next close-up and all subsequent close-ups, its arm/hand positions are reversed - left hand is pointing straight out and its right hand is up. Yet in every shot of the Doctor, River and Amy together, in the foreground we see the Angel's left hand is up in the grabbing position. (00:37:35)
The Snowmen - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: While confronting Dr. Simeon in an alleyway, when Vastra picks up some snow and remarks about how interesting it is, the fingers of the hand she's holding the snow with change from being extended to curled up and back again between shots. (00:08:58)
The Snowmen - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: When Clara tests the solidity of the cloud the TARDIS is parked on, her right hand suddenly jumps to the railing of the staircase between shots. (00:18:14)

Continuity mistake: When the Doctor offers Clara a TARDIS key, he's holding it differently between shots. (00:44:35)
The Snowmen - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: When the Intelligence in Simeon's body is attacking the Doctor, the Doctor's left arm goes from pushing at Simeon's right shoulder to suddenly stretched along the floor in a shot from above. (00:54:48)
The Snowmen - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor is explaining what the intelligence in the giant snow globe is, though enclosed, the amount of "snow" alternates from a fair mass to a few handfuls and back several times.
The Snowmen - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: As Clara first realises the differences in the TARDIS exterior and interior, she goes to circle the outside, leaving the door open. A second later, it's closed, but open upon her entrance.
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When Clara is talking to Mr. Maitland as he prepares to leave, the cordless phone she's holding switches hands. (00:05:38)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8

The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When Clara asks the "girl" coming down the stairs if she's a friend of Angie's, and the "girl" replies in a monotone, in the shot facing Clara the girl-robot is seen nearly at the bottom of the steps, but in the next shot facing the "girl", she's suddenly higher up the stairs. (00:13:07)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: While Clara shouts, "I don't know where I am," over and over, the Doctor sonics his way into the house. When he kneels beside Clara, then notices the 'girl' on the stairs and stands up, in the shots facing him we can see that the young actress stands on the step facing the stairway (note her legs), with her hand at her side, but in the shots facing the girl she stands facing the door with her hand on the banister. (00:15:22)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When Clara is asleep in bed after the Doctor prevented her from being downloaded by the people in the Shard, he sets up a vase of flowers, a glass of water and a plate of Jammie Dodgers on her bedside table. The positions of the glass, the cookies on the plate, and the torn-open package the cookies came out of is seen when the Doctor leaves a half-eaten cookie on the plate in a close-up. When Clara wakes up, however, the cookies on the plate, the packaging and the glass have all changed positions. (00:19:20)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor tells Clara he's not going to budge from his spot, he puts his sonic screwdriver inside his jacket. After she responds that she'll just come to him, he's holding it out again. (00:21:32)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: While the Doctor and Clara are talking and realise that she now possesses extensive computing knowledge, in shots facing the Doctor he has his hands raised in various gestures or by his mouth, but his hands aren't visible in shots facing Clara. (00:23:13)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When Clara and the Doctor watch the lights going out, they first stand in front of the chair, but when the Doctor notes that some planes have WiFi, they stand behind the chair. That chair switches from in front of them to behind them another couple of times. (00:25:03)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: Miss Kizlet wears a large silver brooch on her suit's right lapel in every shot of her, but after Clara notices the lights going out behind her house, when it cuts back to the office Kizlet's brooch switches to her left lapel just before it cuts back to the Doctor and Clara, and since the brooch has a distinctive design we can tell that it's a flipped shot. (00:25:11)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor says "I'm an alien from outer space, I'm a thousand years old, and I can't fly a plane! Can you?", the sonic screwdriver jumps from his right hand to his left. (00:26:43)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor rides the bike out of the TARDIS, visible in the background is the TARDIS with the door still open. In the very next shot, the door is closed. (00:28:47)
The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor and Clara are sitting at their table on the balcony, talking, the level of Clara's mostly-finished milkshake changes several times, most noticeably when she and the Doctor are arguing over who is going to use her computer to hack the bad guys' systems. (00:31:00)
Chosen answer: 1) When Stephen Moffat took over he ignored a lot of what had been developed before (there is not in-universe answer). 2) It would have killed Rose, so the Doctor absorbed the energy. His body regenerated before the energy could do a significant amount of damage that would prevent regeneration.
