The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

The Project Strigas Affair - S1-E9

Other mistake: Vladik, incorrectly, tells Donfield on the phone to stand at the hot dog stand at 3 pm Monday. It should have been 11 am. Donfield in the "meet" scene refers to his 11 o'clock feeding" and Mr. Smith tells Solo (Donfield) his next meeting is between one and two pm. This would be impossible if the original meet was at 3 pm.

The Fiddlesticks Affair - S1-E16

Other mistake: In the last scene of the episode, the opening shot is a Boeing 707 in flight. The 707 logo on the tail is backwards. It appears they flipped over a piece of film stock from a shot earlier in the episode, where the same plane was flying in the opposite direction.

The Quadripartite Affair - S1-E3

Plot hole: Solo blows open the ceiling vent of Illya and Marion's cell, and she stands on Illya's shoulders until Solo can reach her and pull her out. This leaves Illya with nothing/no one to stand on, no way to reach the vent and no apparent way out of the cell. But he's out just the same in the next scene, with no explanation as to how.

Answer: He must have ridden in an Eaton's store elevator while he was in Canada at some point. For some reason, this elevator reminds him of it. The show's original concept had Solo being a Canadian, so this may be a minor nod to that fact.
