Blake's 7

Trial - S2-E6

Visible crew/equipment: In one shot of the Liberator's flight deck near the very end, there's a BBC workman's toolbox visible, sitting under one of the control consoles. (00:46:25)

Jean G

The Keeper - S2-E12

Visible crew/equipment: During the fight in the banquet hall, the spikes on Gola's mace bend several times, most obviously when he falls back onto the pillows. Must be tough bashing your enemies' skulls in with a foam rubber weapon. (00:44:05)

Jean G

Terminal - S3-E13

Visible crew/equipment: As Servalan begins explaining her nefarious plan to the captured Avon, an equipment shadow slides across the blue diamond-shaped pane just behind her. (00:40:30)

Traitor - S4-E3

Visible crew/equipment: When the crew are discussing Helotrix, big yellow power cables (probably used to light up Scorpio's main flight console) are showing at the right of the screen. (00:09:20)

Jean G

Assassin - S4-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When Nebrox is relaxing in a chair on Scorpio's flight deck, large bright yellow power cables are visible running from the console behind him and across the set floor to the right of the shot. Maybe they were jump starting the space ship? (00:21:50)

Jean G

Games - S4-E8

Visible crew/equipment: While pulling back from Vila's conversation with the gaming computer, the camera apparently runs over a cable. There's a visible jump in the picture and an audible clanking noise. (00:37:20)

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.
