The Dalek Invasion of Earth (series 2, episode 2)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Just before Dortman leaves to test out his bomb, he comes towards the camera. When he's doing this, look at the right side of the screen - you can see a crewmember's shadow. It can't be Barbra or Jenny because they then enter from the left.

Mistake Other: Ian has completely forgotten the distinctive shape of a Dalek. It's only when the Dalek starts speaking that Ian says to the Doctor, "that voice". Yet later when they are at the saucer, he talks to the Doctor about the new back of the Dalek having a disk on them now.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where Barbra, Jenny and Dortman are running through the deserted streets of London, in the very last shot, if you look to the left of the screen, you can see some people walking down the street.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: As the two prisoners join the Doctor and Ian, the camera follows them and you can see the heliport set through the Dalek saucer.

Mistake Continuity: The paint on the Black Dalek changes between episode 2 and 3.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the rebels attack the Dalek saucer, a Dalek asks what sector the prisoners were taken from,, and in the bottom left hand corner a giant boom mike comes into view.

Mistake Revealing: When a rebel throws a bomb from the second floor of the Dalek saucer, notice it explodes too early and in the wrong place.

Mistake Revealing: In episode 1, one of the windows on the Tardis is leaning in, but by the time we get to episode 6 it has managed to fix itself. Also when the bridge falls down you can see the poster through the gap, showing that there is no back to the Tardis.

Mistake Revealing: When Barbra is throwing her bombs, she grabs the window frame in front of her, which wobbles alarmingly.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the Doctor and Ian are talking about the discs on the Daleks' backs, you can see a female crew member behind the robomen, standing there and then walking off, and then another crewmember in a white shirt dart past the robomen.

Mistake Factual error: The Doctor states that the Daleks invaded Earth because it is the only planet with a magnetic core. In fact, every planet in the solar system has a magnetic core.

Mistake Audio problem: When the Doctor says that what they're seeing now is the middle period of Dalek history, you can hear a metallic thing being dropped off screen.

Mistake Audio problem: In episode 2 you can hear the Black Dalek clear his throat before speaking.

Mistake Audio problem: When the Dalek says to give the Doctor and Ian the test, it cuts to the prison cell where you can hear a Dalek voice that gets cut off.
