Continuity mistake: On the video of Ian supposedly killing Alison, we see her arm fall to the ground with her "Alison" bracelet visible.

When we see the video again later in the series, her bracelet is visible again.

Strike Back picture

Project Dawn #10 - S2-E10

Plot hole: After Grant finishes her video confession, Latif puts the video recorder in his cargo pant pocket. A few scenes later, he's blown up without ever having taken the video camera out of his pocket. He was at the epicenter of the explosion and he and his clothes were very much on fire, which should have completely destroyed the video camera and its recording.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gary is at the end of the table talking about Golf, he's actually seated in front of the table as seen by how he grabs his cup in front of him. In the very next shot, he's no longer sitting in front of the table and is sitting past it.

Havoc - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the bomb under the bus is being defused, it's counting down and beeping once every second. We see the timer at 0:45, then cut to the face of the woman defusing it - counting the beeps when we cut back it should be on 0:45, but it's jumped up to 1:06. Camera pans down to her face, then back to the bomb, and it's now on 0:43, but going by the beeps it should be on 0:36. We cut away again for 5 more beeps, cut back and the bomb's only just ticking onto 0:41.
