Living in Harmony - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Twice in this episode (once in the saloon and once in the sheriff's office), Number 6's coat is unbuttoned when he's inside, but has instantly buttoned itself up when he runs outside.

Generation - S3-E25

Revealing mistake: Due to budget cuts in the 3rd season, an L.A. soundstage replica of the ranch house replaced the outdoor set, which was in Old Tuscon. The replacement was often painfully obvious. In this episode, a stock exterior shot of the real house, with its outside walls undecorated, contrasts with the mock-up, which has mounted cattle horns all over it.

Auld Lang Syne - S3-E24

Revealing mistake: When Buck comes across the first of two bodies in the desert, we see only the dead man's booted legs protruding from the bushes. When he finds the second body, the exact same shot of legs and boots (with the same bushes and rocks) is used over again with the film reversed.

Auld Lang Syne - S3-E24

Factual error: The Apache spearhead Buck appropriates is very obviously made from machine-tooled steel. Indian tribes in 1870s Arizona made their weapons points from hand-knapped stone and on rare occasions, iron. They never developed steel-making technology.

New Hostess in Town - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: After Buck knocks Bates out, Victoria takes the outlaw's clothes as a disguise in order to escape. Miraculously, Bates' clothes, despite his being a foot taller and considerably heavier than Victoria, fit her perfectly. She doesn't even have to roll up the shirt sleeves or the trouser legs.

It's Your Funeral - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Monique's position on the floor reverses while she's unconscious. When she first collapses, her feet point to the corner of the room. When she comes to, her head is toward the corner. When she gets up, her feet are oriented toward the corner once again.

It's Your Funeral - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: A sleeping Number 6 is being observed by the Village girl. While she watches him, his bed clothes mysteriously rearrange themselves. First they're disarrayed, then they're neatly tucked over him and his robe has moved to a different place on the bed. A few shots later, when he wakes up, his pillow disappears.

It's Your Funeral - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the bell tower, watch the beach in the background. In one take, the tide is in. In the next, it is suddenly at low tide, with much more of the beach exposed.

Blake's 7 (1978)

Breakdown - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Liberator's orientation relative to the space station changes. As viewed from inside the administrator's office, the ship is "parked" parallel, with its port side against the station. But in the subsequent exterior view, Liberator suddenly has its bow pointed directly at the station instead.
