The Smugglers (season 4, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

The rhyme the Doctor recites in episode 3 is different from the original rhyme heard in episode 1.(Apparently, The Doctor (William Hartnell) forgot his lines in episode 3, when he came to the point of reciting the rhyme. So he just improvised what he THOUGHT they were, rather than what had been scripted.

Edit

The Dominators (season 6, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

At many points in this story there are problems with the costume that Zoe is wearing...the zip is often jammed part or all the way open. Not only does this leave most of her back exposed, but the position of the zip tends to change position during scenes, as while off camera Zoe tries to pull the zip back up, only for it to open up again minutes later. (It is a little unkind to say it, but possibly the costume was a little bit too tight for Zoe, causing it 'self unzip'?).

Edit

The Mind Robber (season 6, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

This story starts off where the previous story ('The Dominators') finished, but Jamie says something completely different to alert the Doctor to the approaching lava flow.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Near the end of episode three, Jamie starts to read the printout. At first, he is reading the printout the right way round. But when we next see him, he seems to be reading it upside down. Then the third time we see him, he is back to reading it correctly (right way up).
