The Doctor: The universally recognized colour for danger.

Rose: What happened to red?

Army of Ghosts (1) (season 2, episode 15)

⇑

⇓

Character mistake: In an early scene with Yvonne Hartman, she says "We've just measured the ghosts' energy at 5000 gigawatts." There are at least two mistakes here: (1) watts are a unit of power, not of energy (that would be joules); (2) later on, when Hartman is showing the Magnaclamp to the Doctor, she refers to imperial tons and says "Torchwood refuses to go metric", but a gigawatt is a metric unit.

Deliberate "mistake": When The Doctor is watching news broadcasts from around the world about the ghosts, the newspeople from France and Japan should be heard speaking English because of the TARDIS' automatic translation.

Continuity: When the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver on the glass partition in the Torchwood Institute, cracks radiate out in a star pattern, meaning the glass will break into pointed shards. When it does break, it breaks into cubes, like safety glass.

The Shakespeare Code (season 3, episode 2)

⇑

⇓

Audio problem: When the Doctor and Martha are watching Shakespeare in the Globe, Martha says "He's a bit different to his portraits". After she says this on the left of the screen the Doctor's head comes into shot and you can clearly see by his facial expressions he is saying something to Martha, yet no sound is heard.

The Pandorica Opens (season 5, episode 12)

⇑

⇓

Continuity: At the beginning, when the Doctor takes Amy to planet One, he holds out his hand for Amy to take hold of when they're about to leave the TARDIS. When you see her from the back, Amy lifts her hand wearing her red fingerless gloves. But when it switches shot and faces Amy from the front, she takes the Doctor's hand wearing no gloves. When she steps out of the TARDIS, her gloves are on again.

Factual error: When The Doctor, Amy and Rory are on the roof and the Doctor says "The question for now is total event collapse means that every star in the universe never happened", the Gherkin can be seen in the background. However, the Gherkin wasn't built until 2003, where as this episode takes place in 1996.

All of series 6 (season 6)

⇑

⇓

Visible crew/equipment: The astronaut coming out of the lake is seen twice in series 6. In episode 1 "The Impossible Astronaut" and in episode 13 "The Wedding Of River Song". In "The Wedding Of River Song" when the helmet of the suit is lifted, the astronaut was revealed to be River Song. However in "The Impossible Astronaut" when the helmet was lifted, a man's beard can be seen. Since it is a man in the suit, then it was just a crew member seen in "The Impossible Astronaut".

⇓

Factual error: Clara determines the location of the enemy's base of operations: floor 65 of The Shard. However, there are multiple issues with this conclusion. Firstly, floor 65 is a residential property, not an office location; offices in The Shard occupy floors 2 through 28. Secondly, the view of 30 St Mary Axe from Miss Kizlet's window puts the office below 180m, the height of the latter building. This would mean the office must be below floor 50. Finally, when The Doctor rides his motorcycle up the side of the building, 30 St Mary Axe is again seen, this time significantly below his location, and on the wrong side of The Shard. Not only then does the office's height change, but also which side of The Shard it is on.
