Continuity mistake: 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. (00:50:15)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Take Me to Your Leader Affair - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: Illya's shoe converts to an improbable electric drill. He inserts a foot-long drill bit (and just where was he hiding that when the baddies searched him?) into the flat of the heel. But when he starts drilling at the bars, the bit is sticking out of the side of the shoe instead. (00:21:15)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Take Me to Your Leader Affair - S3-E16

22nd Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)

The Deadly Toys Affair - S2-E9

22nd Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)

21st Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Continuity mistake: Sophie throws a knife that hits Illya in the front of one leg. But when the camera angle widens, she's standing on a dune behind him, nowhere near the area from which the knife was thrown. (00:04:00)
19th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Tigers are Coming Affair - S2-E8

16th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: The XK72 space station has a distinctive shape, with a large ringed aft section that's to the right of the screen every time we see it. Liberator is moving past that section at the end, passing on the right. But in the next shot, the ship is abruptly heading away from the station, which is still in the same position, and flying left, in the opposite direction. (00:47:15)
15th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: During the firefight in the detention corridors, the blaster holes in the metal wall Jenna's firing toward keep changing, sometimes disappearing altogether.

Star Trek (1966)
Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: At the dinner for Miranda, Kirk drains his glass. No one refills it, but it's nearly full again a few shots later. (00:08:25 - 00:10:35)
Suggested correction: Kirk's glass is not empty at 8:25, it is the top of the decanter in front of his chest that looks like an empty glass in the shot. Later Kirk empties his glass during toasts and refills his own glass as he watches Marvik leave the room.
