Frasier (1993)

The Innkeepers - S2-E23

Revealing mistake: I think there might be something wrong with the eels in this episode. They don't move in the tank, despite being alive and don't move when taken out either. Moreover, you cannot actually see any in the tank with one exception. Rubber replacements not up to standard obviously.

Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: In the air duct, the dog comes up behind Willie in a straight line and licks his feet, we saw what the duct looked like when Willie turned around. However, when the children start throwing stuff at the duct, from the outside there is a sharp bend right behind where Willie and the dog are that wasn't there in the internal shots.

ER (1994)

Think Warm Thoughts - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Anna is holding the "virtual pet" after realising it has died, in the shots from the front she is holding it in both hands, but from the back it's only in her right hand. It's tricky to see because there is a pile of papers in the way, but her left hand is folded in front of her in the shots from behind.

Top Gun (1986)

Other mistake: During the final dogfight, the same shots of missiles flying through the air are used several times.

Gandhi (1982)

Factual error: During the scenes of the Calcutta riots and various other places, we see various cars from the 50's when the events in question took place in the 40's. Most notably several Morris cars which hadn't been built yet.

Henry V (1989)

Other mistake: During the Battle of Agincourt, the same shots of soldiers being killed are used several times. Most noticeably there is one poor French soldier who dies from an arrow in his back at least twice.

ER (1994)

Ground Zero - S4-E6

Audio problem: When Greene is outside by the river explaining what happened to him, there are a couple of really bad sound edits in the background noise. These are really obvious as the sound suddenly changes, and for some reason the background noise in this scene is very loud, almost as loud as the dialogue; very strange.

The Brief (2004)

Show generally

Factual error: At one point the barristers are seen going into the old arch entrance of the Old Bailey. However, you cannot actually go in that way, it's blocked off, you have to go in the more modern entrance and through a series of security checks.

The Brief (2004)

Show generally

Factual error: At several points we are shown the barristers inside the Old Bailey. However, it is in fact the Royal Courts of Justice on The Strand, not the Old Bailey.
