Pressure Point - S2-E5

Corrected entry: Whomever designed the base's defenses was an idiot. The electrified matting outside extends for a distance exactly equal to the distance a man can run in the 8 seconds it takes to self-repair; any sensible defense designer would have extended it to a greater distance than it was possible for anyone shooting it to run in that time. Inside the base, we see the ceilings of many passageways (well, actually the same section of passage over and over with different lighting), and the only passage with overhead pipes/monkey bars is the one with the electrified floor. Very convenient.

Correction: The base's weak defenses are precisely the point: to draw in resistors for capture.

Time Squad - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During Blake's first encounter with Cally, the smudges on the front of his tunic (including a big chalky footprint left by her boot) disappear, reappear and rearrange themselves several times between shots. (00:31:20)

Orbit - S4-E11

Trivia: After a homicidal Avon failed to find Vila aboard the shuttle, footage in which Vila emerged in tears was cut from the final version of this episode. (Only a few seconds of it remains.) The emotional scene was deemed "too intense" for the younger viewers.
