Corrected entry: The Nuton power complex contains a cyclotron which, Winser explains, can accelerate atomic particles to the speed of light and beyond. There's even an instrument which measures the effect, with a scale marked in "x light". Unfortunately, relativity states that you can't accelerate particles to the speed of light (let alone beyond it), because at that point the particles would have infinite mass.

Corrected entry: When the Russian soldiers are running to save Ace from the Haemovores, the shadow of somebody can be seen casually walking in the opposite direction.
Correction: This shadow is from a wisp of smoke/mist which rolls onto screen just afterward.

Remembrance of the Daleks - S25-E1
Corrected entry: When Ace is yelling at Mike for being a stinking dirty scumbag (the second time), she's supposed to be very angry. However, it's plainly clear that she's doing her best not to laugh. Near the end of the scene, she has a grin breaking through, and you can see her actually smirking as she runs off screen.
Correction: Ace was emotionally upset because of Mike, so was probably trying her best not to cry, which can be mistaken as laughter.

Doctor Who (1963)
Corrected entry: As the Doctor and Peri prepare to go out onto the asteroid surface for the second time, the Doctor again heads for the door without operating the control. Thankfully, Peri says something else and the Doctor turns back for a few more lines, before finally going back to the console and hitting the real door control.
Correction: The Doctor is still mentally unstable so may have simply forgotten to open the door.

The Dalek Invasion of Earth - S2-E2
Corrected entry: The Doctor suddenly gains his coat after Baker gets him off the operating table.
Correction: A significant amount of off-screen time happens before the Doctor is seen again - enough for Baker to grab the coat off the floor and put it back on the Doctor.

The Dalek Invasion of Earth - S2-E2
Corrected entry: Notice at the beginning of Episode 3 Dortam is playing with only white chess pieces on the board.
Correction: It is difficult to tell, but the pieces are white and gray. Notice that there are two queens on the board, which would be impossible if the pieces were all white.

Correction: There is a theory that a cylinder of sufficient density would cause light to loop around it and accelorate. The particles wouldn't be breaking the local speed of light but would be breaking the universal one. The cylindrical nature of the chamber may generate this effect. This is science fiction so you have to assume that scientists found a way around the problem.
