Correction: It wouldn't be the first time he's got the coordinates wrong.

The Dominators - S6-E1

Corrected entry: The chart of the radiation on the island is wrong. The dialogue says it has steadily decreased over the past 172 years then suddenly disappeared. But the chart says it initially dropped rapidly for a few years, then started to fall at a slower rate for about a hundred years, then changed again and dropped to zero over fifty years. However, the way radiation disperses is anything but steady. It will continually slow down in its dispersal, forming a curve on a graph.

Correction: Actually, radiation will decay from an atomic bomb explosion at varying rates, depending upon which radioactive elements are dominant.

Correction: The Doctor studied medicine under Joseph Lister in 1885. While he presumably hasn't taken the exams required to officially become an MD, he does have the skills to be considered qualified.

The War Games - S6-E7

Corrected entry: After the second doctor's regeneration, the TARDIS lands in a field with trees around it. When the third doctor comes out of the TARDIS, the background changes completely.

Correction: Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the Third Doctor not actually appear at the end of "The War Games"? As I understand it, the serial ends with Two being punished by the Time Lords by being made to regenerate, but the results of the regeneration aren't seen until Three arrives on Earth at the beginning of "Spearhead From Space."

The Three Doctors - S10-E1

Visible crew/equipment: (Ep. 2) When The Doctor, Jo, and Dr. Tyler are taken into Omega's palace, in the first shot of the multiple passageways (right before Jo says that it looks like Aladdin's cave) the curved chalk actor's mark is visible on the floor, then we see it again in three following shots. Note that when they're all escorted further inside, just as Dr. Tyler comments about the matter/anti-matter not making sense, Jon Pertwee looks down, presumably to make sure he hits his mark.

Planet of the Spiders - S11-E5

Trivia: The first thing the Third Doctor does on-screen is collapse out of the TARDIS, which is also the last thing he does in that incarnation.

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.
