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.

Captain Jack Harkness - S1-E12

Factual error: When Gwen finds Toshiko's hidden message from 1941, she realizes that it was written in blood, and her flashlight reveals the bright red letters on the now-yellowed piece of paper. But after 60+ years, the iron in the blood would oxidize. The writing on the note should be rust-brown, not red. (00:33:40)

Combat - S1-E11

Factual error: Between getting disconnected by the bad guy and calling Ianto, Jack gets a dial tone on the dead man's cell phone. Cell phones don't generate dial tones. (00:11:10)
