Revealing mistake: At the beginning of episode four, when the Doctor is surrounded by robots, we initially see SV7 with *blue* eyes. Clearly someone forgot to add the glowing red-eye CSO.
Revealing mistake: In Episode 3, when Dask is cutting the wires, the second explosion happens too early.
Continuity mistake: In episode four, when the Doctor is patching the communicator into the android's head, he takes off the communicator's top, yet it is back on a few seconds later.
Visible crew/equipment: When Leela bandages Toos' arm, a member of the crew is visible on the edge of the set.
Continuity mistake: When Toos is being hunted by a robot, she shuts the door on its hand. When you see this scene from the inside of the room, the robot's hand is trapped at a different place to the next shot, which is from outside the room.
Continuity mistake: When Uvanov captures Leela he says she has killed three people, but he only knows Chub and Cass are dead. Then Poul tells him about Kerril.
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor is trying to unlock Uvanov's cabin door, Leela goes to join him and grabs the edge of the metal railing, which bends badly and then goes back to its original shape.
Revealing mistake: When the Doctor and Leela are confined to the officer's quarters, look at Leela's eyes after she sits down; one of her brown contact lenses has fallen out, revealing her real blue eye.

Continuity mistake: Magnus Greel puts Leela in the distillation chamber and switches it on. Cue red lights, special effects, and Leela writhing about. Then the Doctor arrives and throws a battle-axe into the works. Sparks fly, and the machine stops, presumably broken. Later, however, when Greel is pushed into the chamber, it turns on and does its thing just as if nothing had happened to it. Oh, and the axe thrown earlier disappears too.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Revealing mistake: A 1970s newspaper - the headline concerns Denis Healey, Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 1974-79 Labour Government - can be seen in Litefoot's laundry basket in episode three.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Continuity mistake: In episode 1, when the Doctor and Leela leave the TARDIS, the door is open and is not moving. They then walk away from the TARDIS for a few seconds. When they hear the attack on Bullard (the Cab Driver) and run past the TARDIS again, the door is magically closed.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Revealing mistake: There are *modern* power points, covered with masking tape, visible on the walls of Litefoot's laboratory. The story is set in the 1890s.

Audio problem: In episode five, when the Doctor and Leela are in the opium den, the Doctor's lips do not match his spoken dialogue.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Factual error: When The Doctor questions the arrested Chinaman in the Police Station (in episode one), the Doctor claims to be able to speak several Chinese dialects. What the Doctor actually says to the Chinaman is "How Are You?" in Cantonese, but the rest of what the Doctor says is completely improvised gibberish that SOUNDS Chinese, but is, in fact, complete nonsense.

Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of a boom mike is visible on the curtains near the stage in the final fight.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Visible crew/equipment: In episode six, when the Doctor and his friends are hiding behind the table and Mr. Sin is blasting it, look out for the pyrotechnic wire dangling from the underside of the table.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Factual error: The Doctor mentions at one point in the story that he had once been fishing in the River Fleet with the Venerable Bede. The Venerable Bede was a distinguished 7th century scholar, who lived his entire life at Jarrow, on Tyneside, and never at any time came to London.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor smashes the crystal lattice on the floor, the deactivated Mr. Sin flinches.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Revealing mistake: At various points in the series, Mr. Sin is obviously a dummy and not an actor. But the most obvious is during the last fight when Sin jumps the Doctor. After a struggle, cut to a forward angle and the Doctor grabs and throws an obvious dummy to the ground.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang - S14-E6
Other mistake: When Li H'sen Chang makes his entrance at the Police Station in episode one he says "You seem remarkably well-informed, Doctor", despite the fact he has not been told the Doctor's name and no other character has referred to him as such.
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.
