The Wedding of River Song - S6-E14
Other mistake: When the Doctor walks into the control room at the base, the time on the computer is frozen between 5:02:57pm and 5:02:58pm. The Doctor grabs River's hand, and time begins moving up to 5:03:00pm before he is restrained. Later, when the Doctor and River kiss and time begins moving again, the time is 5:02:00pm.

Trivia: When everyone is walking through the hotel corridors shortly after the Doctor, Amy and Rory arrive, there is a brief scene where a PE teacher exits a room and starts berating the Doctor. Though never stated, it's implied that this is Rory's room. In The Doctor's Wife, when Amy and Rory are trapped on the TARDIS and are being taunted by House, he tells House that he had a PE teacher just like him.

The Power of the Doctor - S13-E9
Stupidity: When Yaz finds the huge Dalek drill, she starts saying everything she is thinking aloud, commenting "They're already here. Seismology. Volcanoes. Daleks, and the Master. This is not good news." There is absolutely no reason for her to say this out loud, considering that she is completely alone and saying this could've risked her getting caught.

The Power of the Doctor - S13-E9
Stupidity: While on the Cyber planet in 1916, the Doctor receives a call from Kate Stewart telling her to come to Unit HQ in 2022 immediately, prompting her to then reluctantly ditch all her problems she's currently dealing with, to go to Unit. The TARDIS literally has all the time in the universe, so even if she waited a really long time, the problems in 2022 would still be there, so there was no need for her to change plans so abruptly.

The Power of the Doctor - S13-E9
Stupidity: After the crew of the space train have taken out the Cybermen, the Cybermen begin regenerating, which one of the crew points out. This guy seems to be aware of how regeneration works, but doesn't shoot at them again. In the series, it has been shown that shooting someone during a regeneration cycle will kill them instantly, but this idea is never considered.

The Woman Who Fell to Earth - S11-E2
Deliberate mistake: The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) is shown wearing the same clothes that the previous incarnation (Peter Capaldi) wore after regenerating. Peter Capaldi is 6' and Jodie Whittaker is 5'6", but the clothes fit perfectly. She even says her legs used to be longer, and yet the trousers aren't flapping around her feet.
15th Sep 2014
Visible crew/equipment: As Sally enters the living room in the abandoned house, in the shot where she walks through the doorway, a cameraman holding the camera can be seen reflected in the window of the door next to her. (00:00:35)
15th Sep 2014
Continuity mistake: When Robin Hood has finished introducing the merry men to the Doctor and Clara, Clara says "You really are Robin Hood and his merry men" and she is shown with her arms parted away from each other. In the next shot, her arms are suddenly closer to her. Then in the next shot, her hands are now closed together. (00:08:25)
15th Sep 2014
Revealing mistake: When the old man is stabbed, the sword is retracted and we can see there is no blood visible on the sword. This is visible even before the blood is wiped off. (00:06:55)

The Bells of Saint John - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor rides the bike out of the TARDIS, visible in the background is the TARDIS with the door still open. In the very next shot, the door is closed. (00:28:47)
15th Apr 2013
Continuity mistake: The submarine surfaces among icebergs at the end. Just as the others go back into the submarine, the Doctor stays up there. Some snow goes onto his lip and his hair. In the following shot, we can see he isn't moving. But in the next shot, the snow on his hair and lip isn't there anymore. (00:40:00)

The Impossible Astronaut - S6-E2
Visible crew/equipment: The astronaut coming out of the lake is twice in series 6: In episode 1, "The Impossible Astronaut", and in episode 13, "The Wedding of River Song." In "The Wedding of River Song", when the helmet of the suit is lifted the astronaut is revealed to be River Song. However, in "The Impossible Astronaut", when the helmet was lifted, a man's beard can be seen. Clearly the use of a double to avoid giving the reveal away too early.

The Angels Take Manhattan - S7-E6
Other mistake: The photo shoot PA from "Asylum of the Daleks" earlier in this season isn't in the credits for that episode, but is credited in this episode, despite not featuring in it. (00:45:36)
19th Feb 2013
Factual error: When the Doctor, Amy and Rory are on the roof and the Doctor says "The question for now is total event collapse means that every star in the universe never happened", the Gherkin can be seen in the background. However, the Gherkin wasn't built until 2003, whereas this episode takes place in 1996. (00:22:40)
29th Jan 2013
Revealing mistake: In the museum after the Doctor, Amy, young Amy and Rory escape the Stone Dalek, the Doctor uses the Vortex Manipulator to go back in time to tell Rory in 102 AD to let him out of the Pandorica. The third time he goes back, Amy moves despite being dead. (00:19:38)

The End of Time: Part Two - S4-E18
Revealing mistake: When Addams is telling Rossiter not to respond the Master's message, a patch of non-green skin can be seen on her face showing where the makeup wasn't fully painted on. (00:27:50)
23rd Jan 2013
The End of Time: Part Two - S4-E18
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor is being rolled down the stairs whilst he is strapped to the chair, it is apparent that in the wide shots, it is a dummy in the chair and not the Doctor. In the wide shots, the Doctor is sitting virtually still and motionless, but in the closer shots, he is fidgiting.
31st Jul 2012
The Impossible Astronaut - S6-E2
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Amy comes out of the bathroom, a boom mic can be seen popping up behind the agent's shoulder. (00:28:55)
