Continuity mistake: When Elaan visits engineering, the close-up shots of Scotty show a security guard wearing a black utility belt standing in the background. But the man is missing in all the full shots. (00:13:15)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Visible crew/equipment: When Vila asks Avon if he ever cared for anyone except himself, an equipment shadow scurries rapidly across the set behind him. (00:37:45)
14th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Plot hole: Avon delivers his summation of the crimes and the murderer's identity to the Ortega's crew - with his back turned to the guilty party the entire time. This gives the killer ample time to pull a gun on them. But it's also egregiously out of character for Avon, whose suspicious nature bordered on paranoia and would never have allowed him to be so careless. (00:42:25)
13th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Avon says that the numbers on the clipboard mean absolutely nothing, the boom shadow moves across the top of the metal safe set into the wall behind him. (00:41:30)

Blake's 7 (1978)
13th Jun 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Kara renders the landing party unconscious, Kirk falls with his arms splayed out to each side. But in close-ups, he has one hand folded over his chest. (00:23:30)
13th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: In the underground corridor, Illya knocks out a Thrush guard and then sits down to wait for Solo to turn off the electric beam blocking the way inside. Behind him, the "unconscious" guard moves his foot. (00:29:05)
13th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Plot hole: Kendall stresses that only he can open the safe containing the valuable neutrotope. Yet later, he casually asks a crew member to retrieve it, with no mention of the safe's combination, making it a cinch for the villain to steal the goods and hand over an empty box. Naturally, no one bothers to look inside before Blake races off with the container. (00:16:30 - 00:21:05)
12th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Plot hole: When he first shows the burned ison-crystal to Cally, Avon says that its loss will blind the Ortega's forward vision. Later, he assigns it a completely different function, saying it controls the hyperdrive instead. If this one little crystal is that vital to the ship's systems, why aren't these guys carrying a spare? (00:15:05 - 00:19:00)
12th Jun 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: When Avon is removing the gas canister from the ventilation system, an insert close-up of his hands shows that he's wearing a wedding ring. In the full shots, however, the ring isn't there. (00:09:50)
12th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The whipped cream covering Salty's arm and hand, as she holds the mini explosive pulled from the dessert, is very thick in the first shot of her, much thinner in the next, thicker again in the next, and almost completely gone in the last shot. (00:42:20 - 00:43:45)
12th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Ultimate Computer Affair - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Cervantes shoots Rodriguez, a shell casing from his gun lands on the metal storage container beside him. But in the next shot of him, it's disappeared. (00:31:25)
12th Jun 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Cloud William opens "The Book," the red bookmark ribbon isn't in the spot he turns to, until the close-up of the page, when it suddenly appears there. (00:39:15)
12th Jun 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: Kirk and McCoy are in the Exeter's engineering section when Kirk uses the intercom to ask if anyone is aboard. Several shots of the deserted ship follow as his voice echoes off the walls, including one of engineering - with Kirk and McCoy suddenly, mysteriously absent. (00:03:45)
12th Jun 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: At the end, the flag is brought in, and Kirk stands up - but in the next close-up of him, he's sitting down again. Next full shot, he's standing once more. (00:36:25)
11th Jun 2006
Forever Knight (1992)
Revealing mistake: When LaCroix opens the box containing Divia's little "surprise," the severed head's eyes move slightly as the covering tissue paper is removed. (00:07:20)
11th Jun 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Sylvia angrily upbraids Korob for talking too much, an inserted reaction close-up of him makes the table and chairs change from in front of him to behind him and back between shots. (00:27:15)
11th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Alexander the Greater Affair (1) - S2-E1
Plot hole: Bad guys tie lousy knots. Solo's bonds at the end are so loose that he easily slips his feet free to stop the swinging blade. And the rope across his chest does nothing to pinion his elbows or lower arms. He could have reached up with his hands to catch the blade at any time. (00:44:30)
11th Jun 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: Just before Kirk kicks his attacker for the final time during the fight in the corridor, the Andorian picks the knife up off the deck with his left hand. In the very next shot, the knife has instantly switched to his right hand. (00:28:30)
11th Jun 2006
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
The Alexander the Greater Affair (1) - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Parviz starts the blade swinging while he's standing directly behind it. In the very next shot, he instantly "jumps" to a position on one side instead. Probably a wise move. We're just not sure how he did it so fast. (00:44:10)
