Revealing mistake: Liberator's auto-repair circuits have mysteriously stopped functioning. The molding on the top center flight deck console is hanging loose, a glitch that remains for several episodes. (00:23:50)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: 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. (00:33:50)
10th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
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. (00:37:20)
10th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Foreign Legion Affair - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: The woman sent to Solo's cell with food has two red jewels hanging from her headband onto her forehead. But after Solo finishes the meal, she suddenly has only one jewel attached to the headband. (00:18:15 - 00:28:10)
10th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: As the ship falls into the black hole, Cally loses consciousness with her right hand beneath her head. A few shots later, her position reverses and she's lying with her left hand under her head. (00:10:40 - 00:11:35)
10th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Seven Wonders of the World Affair (2) - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: Solo and Illya watch as the gas chamber is lowered from the ceiling. In front view, they're standing just inches apart. But in all the reverse angles, they're more than a foot from each other. (00:31:10)
10th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Foreign Legion Affair - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: When Solo begins trying to seduce the dancing girl with the line, "We shall taste paradise," he's standing at least a foot away from her. But in the very next shot, they're suddenly in a clinch: her hands are on his cheeks and they're about to kiss. (00:29:15)
9th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Seven Wonders of the World Affair (2) - S4-E16
Audio problem: A member of Kingsley's army asks if Solo had a pleasant rest after the captured agent wakes up. But the man's line is partially obliterated by a loud pop and a sound drop-out. (00:13:40)
9th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Seven Wonders of the World Affair (1) - S4-E15
Revealing mistake: Illya flies a helicopter to the Himalayas in search of Solo, and at the same time, Kingsley's men are loading an unconscious Solo into another copter. Not only do the two helicopters look suspiciously similar - they have the exact same registration number: N73959. (00:44:40 - 00:46:30)
9th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Five Daughters Affair (2) - S3-E29
Factual error: Somehow, Thrush lands its big jumbo jet at the polar ice cap. In the snow. Without a runway. (00:33:05)
9th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
The Keeper - S2-E12
Revealing mistake: 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? (00:07:25)
9th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Seven Wonders of the World Affair (2) - S4-E16
Visible crew/equipment: When Solo is being marched out to face the firing squad, the shadows of the camera crew are captured twice on the white pillars surrounding Kingsley's swimming pool. (00:20:15)
9th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Seven Wonders of the World Affair (2) - S4-E16
Audio problem: Kingsley is ordering Harmon to go ahead and hold the executions - but his voice is so badly overdubbed that his line is almost unintelligible. (00:23:40)
9th Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
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? (00:21:05)
9th Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Five Daughters Affair (1) - S3-E28
Continuity mistake: No one seems to know which daughter is which. Margo is named daughter number 2 in Act II's title, but the dialogue calls her daughter number 1. Act III's title says Imogen is number 3, while the dialogue refers to her as number 2. (00:12:30 - 00:26:45)
3rd Jul 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Five Daughters Affair (2) - S3-E29
Continuity mistake: On the ground, the mini-jet has a large yellow U.N.C.L.E. logo on its nose. In the air, the logo keeps disappearing, and the plane's tail assembly changes configurations. (00:00:10 - 00:01:35)
2nd Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
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)
1st Jul 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Revealing mistake: 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. (00:02:15)
30th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Concrete Overcoat Affair (2) - S3-E12
Revealing mistake: Solo's boat is blown up by Strago's new superweapon. But stock footage used for the explosion is a little too obvious: the picture abruptly changes from color to black-and-white. (00:14:30)
30th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Concrete Overcoat Affair (2) - S3-E12
Visible crew/equipment: When the captured Illya is brought into Strago's conference room, the boom shadow is lurking on the curved wall over their heads. (00:12:00)
