Edit

Mistake Revealing: Due to recycled stock footage from "Space Fall," the Liberator leaving Fosforon at the end of this episode still has the prison ship London attached to its hull. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Countdown (series 2, episode 9)

Edit

Mistake Factual error: Avon and Grant use an electric torch to melt the ice covering the bomb. When it's removed from its hiding place, it is suddenly completely dry and clean: not a trace of ice, water or dirt on it anywhere. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Revealing: Avon drills holes in the Plex/Perspex tubing housing the bomb's trigger mechanisms. If you look closely, you can see that the holes are already there before he starts drilling. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Plot hole: Avon drills the last hole through the bomb's tubing and then, with the drill still in place, has to hunt down the dropped rod needed to block the plunger. Tense drama ensues while it's found and inserted, though simply leaving the drill bit in there would have worked just as well. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Provine shoots the rebel guarding the rocket in the chest. But later, when his body is found, the man is bleeding from the mouth instead, and the blood pooled on the floor beside him changes from beside his head to above his head between shots. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Voice from the Past (series 2, episode 10)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Plot hole: Travis, dressed up as the supposedly disabled dissident Shivan, fools Blake and the rebellion leaders far too easily. His head bandages completely cover his mouth (how did he eat?) and his glued-on glass eye is so obviously fake it's laughable. If we noticed, why didn't they? (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: In the final scenes on the planet, Blake's teleport bracelet appears and disappears repeatedly between shots. It reappears the final time just before he snatches it off and tosses it away to avoid being teleported up. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Gambit (series 2, episode 11)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Revealing: When he sits on the floor in front of Servalan, Jarrier's earring falls off. He fumbles at it briefly, and then the actor breaks character for just a moment, glancing nervously at the camera. When it's apparent there won't be a retake, he goes on with his lines. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Revealing: Blake hands Cally a photo of Docholli, supposedly obtained from Zen. It's a publicity still of the actor that's not only in black & white (how low tech), but Cally has to hold her thumb rather conspicuously over the very 20th Century necktie he's wearing in the photo. You can see a bit of it anyway. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Plot hole: To sneak Orac into the Casino, Avon tricks it into reducing its own size by claiming that it is impossible to do so, whereupon Orac immediately shrinks itself to prove otherwise. Knowing in theory that it is possible is one thing, actually doing it immediately without the use of any other equipment is just plain silly. What practical device or physics did Orac use to perform this miracle? There are only two possibilities for shrinking an object to, for example, 1/4 of its size. (1) You can remove 3/4 of the atoms in it. Orac might still be functional doing this but would never be able to be upsized to original size again (since 3/4 of the molecular content is now lost, you'd end up with a "pixelized" version of Orac on re-expansion). (2) You could compress the available atoms into 1/4 of the physical space, which would made it 4 times as dense, and therefore as stable as a nuclear bomb, with a gravitational pull similar to that of a neutron star. Apart from the fact that physics are different for objects of that density and so electricity, for example, wouldn't work anymore: if Orac used this method, its voice would have changed beyond the range of human hearing.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: The molecularly miniaturized Orac has been hidden in a metal box while Avon & Vila smuggle him into the casino. Back on the ship, Orac returns to his normal size, but the metal case around him doesn't get larger too - it instantly disappears. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

The Keeper (series 2, episode 12)

Edit

Mistake Revealing: Goth's primitive inhabitants are pre-industrial. They wear furs, use swords and other ancient weapons, and live in tents. So where do they come by their shiny black plastic ski goggles? Goth-mart? (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: During the fight in the banquet hall, the spikes on Gola's mace bend several times, most obviously when he falls back onto the pillows. Must be tough bashing your enemies' skulls in with a foam rubber weapon. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Star One (series 2, episode 13)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": There is only one real human left aboard Star One. Instead of killing her on sight, the Andromedan invaders prefer to tax their own energy maintaining human forms to deceive her instead. Servalan views her Federation personnel file back at Federation HQ, and then the shot fades to the woman herself, on Star One, not only in exactly the same pose but wearing precisely the same clothing, makeup etc. as in the personnel file. That's what I call an up-to-date records system.

Aftermath (series 3, episode 1)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Revealing: While Avon is occupied in hand-to-hand combat with a native on the beach, someone who isn't supposed to be in the shot can be seen walking on the ridge in the background, waving his arms in the air. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Powerplay (series 3, episode 2)

votemap vote up vote down

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Avon refers to Tarrant hitting him "over the back of the head." But Tarrant didn't. He struck Avon from the front, on the forehead, and not from behind. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Volcano (series 3, episode 3)

Edit

Mistake Factual error: Cally has some trouble counting in this one. She telepathically informs Avon that there are three troopers boarding Liberator - but there are four. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Factual error: Liberator's medical treatments are certainly weird. Vila dresses Avon's wounded arm with padding that's put on over top of his clothing. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Continuity: The Liberator gun Avon uses to kill two of the three troopers on the flight deck disappears entirely between shots after he's hit by the third trooper's return fire. (Time) Submitted by Jean G

Edit

Mistake Other: Just after Tarrant and Dayna teleport down, the power cord to Tarrant's gun comes unplugged and is hanging loose behind him. (Time) Submitted by Jean G
