Continuity mistake: In the scene at the beginning with the boy on the Vator being sent "below", the Smiler in the lift is shown with its head turned to its frowning face shortly before it is shown changing its expression. (00:02:23)
Continuity mistake: When Amy is floating in space outside the TARDIS, her hair is down around her shoulders in the shots of her from above, but floating around her head in the close-ups of her face. (00:03:08)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor and Amy are sitting and watching Mandy and Amy is asking what's so important about one girl crying, the Doctor has his hands clasped just below his chin, only for them to jump in front of his mouth in the next shot. (00:08:23)
Other mistake: When Amy's age is given as 1306, the computer screen reads 1308 instead. (00:15:50)
Continuity mistake: When Liz 10 backs away in pain before asking the Doctor to stop making the Star Whale's screams audible, she raises both her hands in the wide shot, but only has her left hand up in the following close-up. (00:29:31)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor first meets Liz 10, during their conversation, her hood is pulled completely over her hair in shots facing her, but some of her hair is sticking past her hood in shots facing the Doctor.
Revealing mistake: When the TARDIS dematerialises and causes wind to blow against Churchill and Amy, their clothes are affected - but the cigar smoke in the air is unaffected, and actually drifts towards the vanishing TARDIS. (00:14:25)

The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor and Amy are in the museum looking at the Home Box, after they steal it, they run to and enter the TARDIS, which is parked at the end of the hall by the last glass case. However, in the first shots of them in the museum, the camera was pointed directly at that spot, and the TARDIS wasn't there. (00:01:30 - 00:02:00)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor leans on the glass case with the home box, he clasps his hands together. In the next, wide, shot, his hands are separated and in loose fists. (00:01:48)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When Alistair confronts River, the two guards with him stop and point their guns at her as he walks forward, changing position between the wide shot and the following close-up of Alistair. (00:03:05)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: River's position when she turns away from the door changes between the security playback the Doctor and Amy are watching and the footage shot actually on the ship. (00:03:30)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor is ready to catch River Song, the TARDIS exterior shown is that of the Tenth Doctor's, not Eleven's. In particular, the St John's Ambulance logo is missing. (00:04:35)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Character mistake: When Amy says "Doesn't anybody need me?" from the door of the dropship, there's a misspelling on the door: "Trip Hazzard" instead of "Trip Hazard." (00:16:19)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor is looking through a hole in one of the pages in the book on the Weeping Angels and River is asking him how early in his timeline this is, which of his hands is on the page changes between shots. (00:17:26)
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When River shows Amy and the Doctor the video of the Angel, next to the Doctor on the ceiling is a bar with two cloth handles, one on each end. The Doctor accidentally rips off the handle closest to him and the viewscreen. A minute later when Amy is alone and we are looking at the Angel video, this handle is back up. It's gone again in subsequent shots.
The Time of Angels (1) - S5-E4
Other mistake: At the end when the Doctor is seen shooting the gravity globe, he does not actually move his finger but the pistol still fires.
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor's jacket is being held by a Weeping Angel while he's monologuing about why they haven't killed him yet, he moves at one point and the Angel's hand moves with him, despite the fact that they're normally effectively stone in situations like this. (00:12:16)
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.
