6 visible crew/equipment mistakes in season 1 - chronological order

(2 votes)

Identified - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: Near the start, Henderson and Straker exit the plane and enter the Rolls-Royce, then just as the car passes the camera, the reflections of the camera, camera operator, and another crew member with an arm up holding a small screen are visible on the window. (00:03:40)

Super Grover

Exposed - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: Straker brings Paul Foster to SHADO Control and takes him into his office, then just as Straker says, "Ok, Alec, wheel them in," the boom microphone pokes into the shot at the left side of the screen. (00:44:05)

Super Grover

The Sound of Silence - S1-E23

Visible crew/equipment: While Russ and Anne are on horseback, Russ pursues the trespasser and threatens him with the rearing horse. When Anne calls out, "Russ," and takes off after him, the boom operator and boom pole/mic are visible at the left side of the screen, just as Anne passes the tree. (00:11:40)

Super Grover

Computer Affair - S1-E21

Revealing mistake: In the interior shots of Mobile 1's cockpit, we see that there's a crew of 3 and that the pilot is black. But in shots of the exterior (miniature model stock footage), there's only one occupant, a pilot, and it's a doll with distinctively Caucasian features. (00:26:30)
