Turn Back the Clock - S1-E7

Factual error: The diving bell descends to 4000 feet, where no light can penetrate and the ocean around them should be pitch black. But some strange, unseen phenomenon is lighting up the bell quite nicely for the camera. (00:21:15)

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

The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: In close-up, Illya is covering the phone receiver with his left hand, but drops the hand to his side when he tells the operator, "Never mind." There's an immediate cut to a wider angle, and his left hand is suddenly back on the receiver in the same position as before. (00:24:00)

The Waverly Ring Affair - S2-E19

Plot hole: Waverly installs the explosive ring on Solo's finger and arms it, then says, "No one is to know you've been issued a priority ring." Odd command. It's a huge and conspicuous gold and red ring that he can't take off, and everyone at U.N.C.L.E. knows what it is. So how can Solo possibly keep it a secret? (00:07:25)

The Deep Six Affair - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: The black Cadillac that pulls up to the guard house is a standard 60s Caddy with 4 doors, 2 bench seats and 4 passengers that we can see. But in the interior shot, there are 7 passengers sitting in a limo-sized Cadillac with a 3rd bench seat and 6 doors. (00:38:20)

Revealing mistake: "Dr. McDee Must Die" (Adventure 5, Part 3): When the champagne glass shatters in front of Sapphire, you can see the mini explosive charge used to break it. It lands on the table among the glass shards. (00:10:00)

Sapphire & Steel (1979)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: "Dr. McDee Must Die" (Adventure 5, Part 5):Three of the dinner guests leave the dining room together - through a door that we saw Steel lock just a few moments before. (00:04:45)

The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: On the beach, Molina is petite, thin and small-chested in her wetsuit. Underwater, she mysteriously gains several pounds, bigger muscles and a much larger bust, thanks to a poorly-matched stunt double. (00:12:00)

The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Seaview is on the ocean floor investigating the underwater city. Two inserted stock shots then show it up near the surface at periscope depth. In the next shot, though, it's back on the bottom again. (00:43:15)

The City Beneath the Sea - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Seaview's windows form 8 horizontal rectangles in 2 rows across its bow. But the interior sets have windows that form vertical rectangles, and they're much closer together than they are in the exterior shots. (00:02:30)

The Fiery Angel Affair - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: Carlos asks Illya if he's an American, and Illya nods in agreement. He's not undercover and has no reason to lie, so maybe he's suffering from temporary amnesia. He's a Russian citizen working for an international organization HQ'd in New York. He lived in the US, but was never an American. (00:04:20)
