Continuity mistake: While Diamond talks to the newspaper editor, he has two locks of hair falling over his forehead in full shots, but in close-up, his hair is neatly combed back. The forelocks come and go repeatedly after that, throughout the episode. (00:18:00)

The Prisoner (1967)
Revealing mistake: While they ride toward the helicopter, Number 6 and Number 2 have a conversation. Shots of Number 6 are obviously outdoors under windy conditions: his hair is blowing. But every shot of Number 2 has been taken in-studio with a rear-screen projection. His hair isn't moving at all.

Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Return to Devil's Hole - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Heyes takes Clara's handbag and dumps its contents on the table. A bundled stack of bills at least an inch thick falls out. Several shots later, though, the pile of money is much thinner, about half its original size. (00:08:25 - 00:10:10)
11th Jan 2008
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Watch the helicopter when it first lifts off. It has regular "sled-style" landing struts. But in the air, it suddenly has water pontoons. When it lands again, though, the regular struts return.

Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Return to Devil's Hole - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: While the Devil's Hole Gang plays cards in the bunkhouse, Hamilton stands behind the poker table beside one of the beds. In the master shot, he's wearing a tan jacket. In every close-up, however, the jacket disappears and he's wearing a blue shirt. (00:41:00)
11th Jan 2008
Dark Shadows (1991)
Episode Two - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When an entranced Daphne leaves the house, she opens just one of the two French doors. When Joe and Deputy Harker wake up to find her missing, both the doors are standing open. (00:08:20 - 00:10:20)
11th Jan 2008
Dark Shadows (1991)
Episode Two - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Julia comes to the Old House to confront Barnabas, Willie lights a tier of four candles, but one goes out again, leaving only three burning. In full shot, candle 4 remains unlit. In a close-up from the same angle, candle 4 is burning and 3 is unlit. (00:41:50)
11th Jan 2008
Dark Shadows (1991)
Continuity mistake: Julia holds up the hypodermic before injecting Barnabas, and the hypo is half full of green fluid. In the next shot, as she starts to inject him, it's completely full. (00:02:15)
9th Jan 2008
Dark Shadows (1991)
Factual error: Willie opens the secret room in the Collins family mausoleum, and a flock of bats flies out. It's a hidden chamber that's been sealed (without even small openings - it's imprisoning a vampire) for 200 years. There'd be no way for the bats to get in. (00:15:00)

Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Return to Devil's Hole - S1-E7
Visible crew/equipment: When Heyes hands Curry the money and rides away, a window behind Curry reflects several studio lights. (00:11:45)
8th Jan 2008
Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Trivia: During shooting for this episode, guest star Judy Carne (famous for dancing in a very skimpy bikini on Laugh-In), decided to play a risque practical joke. In a scene where her character, wearing a skirt, was required to climb up a high ladder to a water tower, she "accidentally-on-purpose" forgot to put on any underwear, and "flashed" the entire film crew.

Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Return to Devil's Hole - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Clara's long hair is a windblown mess. But when Heyes ties the blindfold at the back of her head, her hair is suddenly neatly combed. One shot later, it's unkempt again. (00:17:15)
8th Jan 2008
The Prisoner (1967)
Revealing mistake: Watch Curtis' shadow when he and Number 6 have their pistol range competition. The split-screen process cuts his shadow in half.
8th Jan 2008
Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Factual error: The dresser mirror in the saloon girl's boudoir is ringed with photos - but they're 20th Century color Polaroids. (00:24:00)
5th Jan 2008
Richard Diamond, Private Detective (1957)
The Hoodlum - S4-E1
Factual error: Diamond's car phone, quite a rarity in the 1950s, attracts a lot of attention. But the car should have a huge antenna attached to make the gadget work (it doesn't), and Diamond would not be getting direct calls - they'd have to go through a mobile operator first.

Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Revealing mistake: At Armandariz's hacienda, a power cord is peeking out from behind the large chest against the wall in the main room. (00:18:00)
5th Jan 2008
Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Don't Get Mad, Get Even - S2-E21
Plot hole: In the bath house at the beginning, Heyes and Curry, who should be using their aliases, call each other by their real names several times while the proprietor, who's a stranger to them, is preparing hot water nearby. The man must not be up on "the two most successful outlaws in the history of the west," though: he doesn't race off to turn them in and collect the reward. (00:04:40)
5th Jan 2008
Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Continuity mistake: While he's working to open the safe, Heyes is wearing his coat. Then he isn't. Then he is again. (00:19:20 - 00:20:30)
5th Jan 2008
Alias Smith and Jones (1971)
Don't Get Mad, Get Even - S2-E21
Factual error: A grumpy Heyes tells Georgette and Curry that he's been sleeping in a stable loft for two days without a bath or a shave. But he's completely clean-shaven: not even a hint of stubble showing. (00:15:00)

Suggested correction: He is not "completely clean-shaven." He has evident facial hair.
5th Jan 2008
The Prisoner (1967)
Continuity mistake: Alison is thanking Number 6 for letting her practice on him. In close-ups, her hands are at her sides. But in longer shots, she has her hands folded under her chin.
