Continuity mistake: While Number 6 is in the jail cell, he lights a cigar and starts blowing smoke. Just a few shots later, the smoke has vanished and he lights the cigar again.

The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Twice in this episode (once in the saloon and once in the sheriff's office), Number 6's coat is unbuttoned when he's inside, but has instantly buttoned itself up when he runs outside.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Generation - S3-E25
Revealing mistake: Due to budget cuts in the 3rd season, an L.A. soundstage replica of the ranch house replaced the outdoor set, which was in Old Tuscon. The replacement was often painfully obvious. In this episode, a stock exterior shot of the real house, with its outside walls undecorated, contrasts with the mock-up, which has mounted cattle horns all over it.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Revealing mistake: When Buck comes across the first of two bodies in the desert, we see only the dead man's booted legs protruding from the bushes. When he finds the second body, the exact same shot of legs and boots (with the same bushes and rocks) is used over again with the film reversed.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Factual error: The Apache spearhead Buck appropriates is very obviously made from machine-tooled steel. Indian tribes in 1870s Arizona made their weapons points from hand-knapped stone and on rare occasions, iron. They never developed steel-making technology.

The Prisoner (1967)

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: In Number 2's office, the Colonel stands at the bottom of the ramp. In the next shot, however, he's suddenly beside the tea cart instead.

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling - S1-E13
Audio problem: When Number 6 tells the Kandersfeld waiter that he took some photographs, we hear his words, but his mouth doesn't move.

The High Chaparral (1967)
Revealing mistake: After Buck knocks Bates out, Victoria takes the outlaw's clothes as a disguise in order to escape. Miraculously, Bates' clothes, despite his being a foot taller and considerably heavier than Victoria, fit her perfectly. She doesn't even have to roll up the shirt sleeves or the trouser legs.

The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Monique's position on the floor reverses while she's unconscious. When she first collapses, her feet point to the corner of the room. When she comes to, her head is toward the corner. When she gets up, her feet are oriented toward the corner once again.
20th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: A sleeping Number 6 is being observed by the Village girl. While she watches him, his bed clothes mysteriously rearrange themselves. First they're disarrayed, then they're neatly tucked over him and his robe has moved to a different place on the bed. A few shots later, when he wakes up, his pillow disappears.
20th Nov 2007

Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: Liberator's orientation relative to the space station changes. As viewed from inside the administrator's office, the ship is "parked" parallel, with its port side against the station. But in the subsequent exterior view, Liberator suddenly has its bow pointed directly at the station instead.
19th Nov 2007
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Just before the fight begins on the roadway, Number 6, in full shot, steps off the grass and onto the road. But the next close-up of him shows him on the grass again.
