A Day In The Death - S2-E8

Corrected entry: When the team plans their mission to break into the mansion, they estimate that there will be one minute, 20 seconds between the time the power is cut and the time the backup generator goes on. When Owen kills the power, an announcement is made that the backup generator will take over in 40 seconds, causing the team some concern. The actual time between when the power was cut and when the backup generator kicks in is one minute, 20 seconds - just as predicted. Oddly, Owen doesn't seem to be moving any faster or trying harder to find a place to hide even though he's under the assumption of only 40 seconds of darkness to work with. A last-minute change to the script, perhaps?

Correction: More likely he sticks to the plan, because mistakes can be made when rushing things that aren't practiced and prepared for. As they say: "The hurrier you go, the behinder you get."

Children of Earth: Day One - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: When the children are possessed by the 456, they're supposed to be frozen and stare blankly ahead. But during the second possession, as the camera is panning across a school playground, a boy on the far right is looking directly at it. As it moves closer to him, he swivels his eyes back to where they're supposed to be. (00:16:30)

Answer: He might have requisitioned or stolen it from Torchwood London, or he might have been ready down below once it'd been severed, searching for "the right Doctor" and not knowing that the newly-regenerated Doctor was the one he was looking for.
