1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. (series 1)
Visible crew/equipment: Jack Bauer and his boss are in a building at night with a shooter hidden somewhere. They open a door and look very carefully to the right and then to the left before going through the door. On the right side you can briefly see two crew members and as the camera pulls forward they back up some so they won't be seen.
6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. (series 1)
Continuity: The 6:00PM-7:00PM episode ends when it is still light outside. The 7:00PM-8:00PM Episode begins when it is completly dark (no sunset/dusk/twilight) The show is supposed to be in "real-time" but as the sun goes down it gradually gets darker, it does not just become dark from one second to the next.
11:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon (series 1)
Visible crew/equipment: When Alberta is in holding room 2 with Tony, there is a camera visible to the left of the screen, behind Alberta. You can see it three times during their conversation. Submitted by darren-c
8:00 A.M.-9:00 A.M. (series 1)
Continuity: In the 08:00 - 09:00 episode on DVD (and during the previous few hours) you see Kim Bauer's feet and she is wearing sandals with no socks. At 08:36 when Terri has just been taken from the room where they are being held captive you see a shot of Kim sitting down and you can see that she is wearing pink leather slipper style shoes and black socks.
Day 2: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. (series 2)
Plot hole: When Kim sees Gary she runs into the master bedroom, hides her bags, goes into the closet and up to the attic - all in the time it takes Gary to run five yards to the bedroom door. And considering how much noise the attic door made he should have heard her. Plus, how did she manage to get the door hatch closed when she had gone up?
5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. (series 1)
Continuity: During season one of 24, Jack answers his mobile to Gains and we see footage of Jack on a CCTV camera. The CCTV footage shows medical staff moving, yet when they cut back to the camera in the hall the medical staff are in different places, they keep changing places and keep disappearing and re-appearing and the CCTV footage is about two seconds ahead of the footage in the corridor.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. (series 2)
2:00 A.M.-3:00 A.M. (series 1)
Continuity: At about 2:15am, when Jack's talking to Nina about the passenger list on the plane, we see a shot of Jack in the top left, and Nina in the top right. Because it's real time they're both meant to match up - we're watching them both at the same time. In each shot we can see the back of the other's head, but while Jack is looking down and around in the left-hand shot, in the right-hand shot his head is staying perfectly still.

9:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. (series 1)
Continuity: In the previous hour, Pattie has long straight hair down to her shoulders. We see this all the way through, even at the very end. Yet at the start of episode 22, when she is now at the party a mere 10 minutes later, her hair is very much shorter. There is no way she would be able to get ready for the party in that time, let alone have her hair cut.
Day 2: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon (series 2)
6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. (series 1)
Day 3: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. (series 3)
1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. (series 1)
Continuity: When Jack is outside Dunlop Plaza, talking to Nina on the phone, he says, "Nina, it's Jack." But the transcript Tony looks at a few seconds later reads, "Nina, it's me, Jack." Submitted by Cubs Fan
