Continuity mistake: "The Greatest Enemy": It's full daylight when Robin sends Marion and Much away and stays atop the crag to hold off the sheriff's men. The sky behind him is blue. But in the next moment, as he starts firing arrows at them, there's a setting sun behind him and the sky is red. In the following scenes, we see full daylight and blue skies again. (00:35:20)

The Fugitive (1963)

Never Wave Goodbye (2) - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In Part 1, Kimble worried about Gerard tracing him by a match he left behind. We got a close-up when he tore the match out of the book: it was the 3rd in a row of 5. But here, as he looks at the matchbook and worries again, the close-up shows the only match missing from the book is the 5th one. (00:02:00)

The King of Diamonds Affair - S2-E25

Continuity mistake: When Solo and Miss Pogue are trapped in the shipping crate together, his hair combs itself between takes - several times. It's all over his forehead, then is suddenly neatly combed to one side, then is messy again. When the crate is opened, he's well-groomed once more. (00:32:25)

The Chinese Sunset - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: Kimble and Eddie take an elevator down to the parking garage. When the doors open, you can see that there's no break in the floor between the garage and the elevator car. It's solid concrete. (00:28:50)

Too Many Christmas Trees - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When Steed and Emma are driving to the estate, the car's windscreen keeps disappearing. It's there in full shots, gone in close-ups, and reappears again every time we cut back to a long shot. (00:10:30)

The Girl From Auntie - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: Steed tosses his opponent over his shoulder during the scuffle. The man lands on his back with his right hand extended over his head. But when the shot cuts to a different angle, both his arms are instantly down at his sides instead. (00:38:25)

The Girl From Auntie - S4-E17

Factual error: The bad guys are supposedly auctioning off the stolen Mona Lisa. But they and their prospective buyers aren't very art savvy. The painting is more than twice the size of Da Vinci's actual masterpiece. (00:44:50)

Hawaii Five-O (1968)

The Young Assassins - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: 7-1 "The Young Assassins": The hotel towel draped over the first victim's beach chair instantly changes positions between shots. You can see the words "Aloha, Hawaii" emblazoned on it, until the shot changes. Then it's moved up, and only the word "Hawaii" and the hotel's logo are showing. (00:01:50)
