Doctor Who (2005)

Voyage of the Damned - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: The meteors are shown approaching and hitting the ship on the starboard (right) side. Twice, however, they are erroneously described as being to port (left): When the meteors are first seen on the scanner by Frame, and later when Frame tells the survivors in Kitchen 5 to go starboard because the port side of the ship is impassable.

School Reunion - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Sarah Jane is talking to Rose while she's trying to access a computer in the lab, half-sitting on the desk, the right side of Sarah's jacket is bunched up beneath her arm in shots facing her and lying down in shots facing Rose.

World War Three (2) - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening montage, showing the Slitheen incapacitated by electrocution, when Margaret drops Indra's body and stumbles back, a close-up of the body on the floor shows her legs without the pulsing electricity covering her entire body, which is visible in other shots.

Aliens of London (1) - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Harriet Jones is hiding in the closet and spying on the Slitheen attacking General Asquith, wide shots of the closet door have it in shadow, but close-ups of Harriet have the part of her face that is visible illuminated.

Last Christmas - S9-E1

Rosa - S11-E4

Factual error: At the end, when the Doctor shows her companions the asteroid named for Rosa Parks, it's depicted in a dense asteroid field which looks absolutely nothing like the (very sparse) asteroid belt does in real life.

Dark Water - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: When it's revealed that the dream patch is on Clara's hand, it's in her right palm. But in the wide shot when she's getting up as the Doctor explains the true nature of the patches, it's on her left hand instead. (00:13:21)

Mummy on the Orient Express - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: When Clara tells Maisie that "Difficult people can make you feel all sorts of things", as she finishes the sentence the view cuts from a close-up of her to a wide shot, and the light and shadows cast onto her face change with it. (00:17:20)

The Time of the Doctor - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When the Doctor teleports onto the Dalek ship and announces himself, he's holding up a broken Dalek eyestalk in the wide shot as he throws off his hood, but then in the close-up he throws the hood off again, with his arm lowered. Then he raises his arm again, with his arm bent at the elbow, only for a wide shot to have his arm sticking straight up, with his elbow straight. (00:00:55)

The Day of the Doctor - S7-E16

Deliberate mistake: Looking closely at the floor of Eleven's console room reveals that the part of the floor around the console facing the door has been discreetly raised up, which it isn't in any other appearance of this console room, so that Clara can ride her motorcyle inside it without going down two steps. This wasn't in any previous episode and is gone in the next one.

The Crimson Horror - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: During the sepia-toned explanation of the Doctor and Clara's initial investigation into Sweetville, when they pose as a married couple to infiltrate the place, are accepted, and the Doctor says "The missus and I couldn't be more chuffed, could we love?" in a bad Northern accent, Clara's fake smile goes from closed-mouth to open-mouth between shots.

Continuity mistake: When the Doctor, being held by two of the crewmen, explains that there's a geographical anomaly the sub can land on to halt its descent, the hand of the crewman holding his right arm disappears in a close-up, followed by the crewman himself disappearing in the next shot.
