Batman (1966)

The Dead Ringers (2) - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: Tied to a conveyor belt, Batman and Robin move past a stack of boxes stenciled with the factory's name. Cut to close-up, and they're now back to a position right next to the boxes. Back to master shot, and the boxes are once again several feet away - at least until the next close-up. (00:02:50)

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: In the jury room, the two windows behind Monk have venetian blinds, which are raised halfway on the right window. But in several shots of the science teacher coming over to identify the white powder, the right window's blinds are pulled down. (00:35:00)

Torchwood (2006)

Something Borrowed - S2-E9

Factual error: Jack calls Gwen, and when Rhys takes the phone and hangs up on him, Jack's cell phone, for the second time in the series, sounds an audible, impossible dial tone. (00:13:00)

Torchwood (2006)

From Out Of The Rain - S2-E10

Trivia: For this episode, writer Peter J. Hammond borrowed his own idea - from a story he first used in the 1979 Sapphire & Steel series. There, ghosts from old photographs came to life and could trap the living inside the pictures. Here, very similar mischief is afoot, with the ghosts coming out of old silent films instead.

A Day In The Death - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When the old man dies and Owen is trying to revive him, the position of the man's head changes several times between takes, from lying flat to propped up on the pillow and back again. (00:37:00)

Quantum Leap (1989)

Last Dance Before An Execution - May 12, 1971 - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: When Sam is strapped into the electric chair, the huge clock on the wall behind him, which is there so that both the prison doctor and the reporters viewing the execution can mark the time of death, reads 7:00. The final scene runs for more than five minutes - after which the clock still reads 7:00. (00:37:15 - 00:42:00)

Meat - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: While he's in the van with Jack, Rhys's seat belt shoulder strap vanishes and reappears multiple times as the shots change. (00:27:40)

Batman (1966)

The Clock King Gets Crowned (2) - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Batman tosses a large white box at one of the henchmen. The box lands on the round dais of the clockworks, but as that dais begins to rotate, the box disappears. It pops back up a few shots later, now sitting on the stationary corner of the clockwork platform. But as the fight rages on, it vanishes again between shots. (00:21:30 - 00:22:10)

Batman (1966)

Revealing mistake: The giant crystal's red beam strikes Zaran at the end, turning him into a skeleton. But the lab specimen used for this effect is a little too obviously just that: you can see the pins holding the bones together, as well as the surgical saw incision in the skull. (01:27:00)

The Clock King Gets Crowned (2) - S2-E12

Factual error: Trapped in the overturned hourglass, Batman and Robin lie flat and begin furiously digging in the sand, making the hourglass roll out the door. But to cause such rapid movement, they'd need to be applying their weight against one of the glass sides (like a hamster in a ball). Just digging in the sand wouldn't get them anywhere, at least not that quickly. (00:04:15)

Batman (1966)

Continuity mistake: Everyone and everything Zaran shoots with the giant crystal weapon vaporizes into bright red light and then explodes. But when Zaran himself is hit with the beam, he becomes a skeleton instead of vaporizing, and doesn't explode. (01:27:00)
