Visible crew/equipment: During the warehouse battle, around when the Doctor tells Donna, "Hold on, I'm coming", the film crew can be seen reflected in a door at the right of screen. (00:28:20)
Forest of the Dead (2) - S4-E9
Visible crew/equipment: When River punches the Doctor, laying him out, just as he drops to the floor we can see the actor's green tape mark at River's feet. (00:33:20)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor grabs the rope there are several metres more behind him. But, as he's hoisted off the ground, he is almost at the end. (00:03:34)
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene the Doctor and Donna are speaking over the phone. The purple phone Donna is holding shows the slot where a cable should be plugged in, but there is none. (00:00:25)
Suggested correction: This shouldn't be considered a mistake. While it's true in real life this phone has a slot for a cable, they're on an alien planet and this is unknown technology. In-universe there's no way of knowing what that slot is for, and there's no reason to think the phone needs to be plugged into anything.
The Sontaran Stratagem (1) - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: In the TARDIS as Donna navigates, the Doctor uses a hammer to help correct the trajectory, then rests it on his neck and shoulder. A second later, when the phone rings, his hand, holding the hammer, is suddenly much lower, below his waist level. (00:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When Gadget is driven to the TARDIS so the Doctor can retrieve it, the landscape around it is much flatter and without the large boulders strewn around the TARDIS when the Doctor arrived on Mars at the beginning. (00:52:41)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor leans on the railing above the glacier while telling Adelaide about the Ice Warriors, he rests his left hand a ways out on the railing, in a spot where it should be visible but isn't in the next shot from behind him. (00:28:57)
The Unicorn and the Wasp - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: After questioning the houseguests, the Doctor and Agatha are talking. She uses the phrase "little grey cells", and the Doctor responds, "Oh, yes, little grey cells. Good old Poirot." When he does this, he's holding a saucer in his left hand and rests a teacup he's holding in his right hand atop it, as he turns toward the chair that the suspects were sitting in. In the next shot, as he walks over and sits in the chair, he is suddenly holding the teacup and saucer in his right hand, with his left hand in his pocket. (00:13:55)
Continuity mistake: For most of the scene where the Doctor and Donna find the dying Ood Delta-50, the front of his body is covered in snow. After he mentions "the circle", when the Doctor is asking what that is, the snow on Delta-50's chest is gone. In addition, the Doctor's hands change position between shots. (00:06:25)
The End of Time: Part Two - S4-E18
Continuity mistake: When Wilf looks down while holding his service revolver at the end of his conversation with the Woman in White, the position of his right index finger changes between shots. (00:23:35)
Continuity mistake: After the Doctor and Wilf get off the seniors' bus, they're waving goodbye. In a close-up shot, the Doctor is waving with his right hand, but in a wider shot immediately afterwards, he's switched to his left hand. (00:25:10)
Silence in the Library (1) - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: When the girl recognizes the Doctor on her TV, telling him that he was in her library, and he reacts, the position of her pencil crayon in her hand changes between shots. (00:20:45)
Forest of the Dead (2) - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: After the Doctor tints Anita's visor, as he explains to River that he did it to try and trick the Vashta Nerada into thinking they're already inside Anita's suit, the position of his right hand, holding the sonic screwdriver, and the fingers of that hand change position between shots. (00:10:25)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor starts scanning the wall of the tunnel as Jenny asks him who he is and if he's an anomaly as well, his grip on the sonic screwdriver changes between shots. (00:22:20)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor and Donna leave as Caecilius, Metella, Evelina and Quintus stand and watch the destruction of Pompeii, the TARDIS changes orientation between shots - in both of them, one from in front of the family and one from behind, the TARDIS' door, with the sign, is visible. (00:45:10)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor and Donna are talking to Caecilius, when they introduce themselves as "Spartacus" and Caecilius makes several guesses as to their relationship, wondering if they're married or siblings, in shots facing them, the Doctor and Donna are standing fairly close together. In shots facing Caecilius, however, the Doctor and Donna are standing much further apart. (00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: When the Doctor is leaving Roger's house, a gadget in his pocket starts beeping. He pulls the device out with his left hand, but in a close-up of it immediately afterwards, it's in his right hand. (00:07:35)
