The Sensorites - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: Part 4, A Race Against Death: After the Doctor states he's going off on an expedition, John still struggles to warn the Doctor, and when the Doctor tells Carol, "Now you stay with him, I think he's getting better," a boom mic becomes visible at the top left side of the screen.

The Sensorites - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: Part 3, Hidden Danger: When the First Elder tells the Doctor, Ian, and Susan about their refined aqueduct water beneath the city, Ian drinks some of it. Then just after the Doctor says, "Vintage water," the tip of the boom mic sweeps across the top of the screen.

The Keys of Marinus - S1-E5

Plot hole: In episode 4, we're informed that Susan and Sabetha traded their travel dials for firewood, and Ian trades his for furs. They do not take them with them into the caves later on. This only appears to make sense from an out-of-universe perspective: Terry Nation needed the characters to part with their travel dials, so they couldn't have just escaped after collecting the key.

The Daleks - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The Doctor removes his coat and it's left in the prison cell but in the brief shot of the Doctor and Barbara pushing Dalek Ian, the Doctor is inexplicably wearing his coat again.

Terror of the Zygons - S13-E1

The Doctor: You can't rule the world in hiding. You've got to come out on the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle, if you pardon the expression.

Planet of Giants - S2-E1

Trivia: This Doctor Who story was originally scripted and produced as a four-episode story, but, just two weeks before transmission, upon viewing the story, co-creators Sydney Newman and Donald Wilson felt that the final two episodes (Episode 3, 'Crisis'; and Episode 4, 'The Urge to Live') should be combined into a single episode. The new 'condensed' episode incorporated the opening titles of 'Crisis' with the closing credits of 'The Urge to Live'.

Earthshock - S19-E6

Question: In Earthshock, season 19, at the end of episode 3, the Cyber Leader views his troops marching down the corridor. Each column is headed by a Cyber Leader. Is this a mistake, or is there more than one Cyber Leader allowed per army?

Answer: In 'The Five Doctors', three separate Cyberleaders are definitely used. So it's likely that Cyberleaders are like unit commanders, of which a fair-sized army might have several.
