The Invisible Man

Exposed - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: The establishing shot of the Agency's headquarters building zooms in on 3 tall, narrow windows recessed into a brick wall. We then cut to an interior view - of several wide, continuous windows without any recesses. They don't match the exterior windows at all. (00:07:30)

Beholder - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: The assassin rips out a magazine page with Leila's photo on it and sets it ablaze with a cigarette lighter. The face in the picture burns while he's still holding the page. But in the next shot, after he drops it, the face is still intact and starts to burn all over again. (00:22:30)

The Invisible Woman - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: In the nuclear power plant, Darien picks up the technician's box of snacks, holding it by the narrow edge. Then the shot cuts, and he's instantly holding it with his hand spread across the wide front of the box instead. (00:35:30)

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Darien reaches into the glass spider enclosure to retrieve the note, the number of spiders sitting on the paper changes (too quickly for them to have crawled away and back naturally). First there are two on top of the paper, then only one, then instantly two again. (01:11:30)

Germ Theory - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Hobbes enters Claire's lab, the wall clock (which we can see is running) reads 9:15. Four minutes of continuous scene later, though, it's still 9:15 - and the clock is still running. (00:10:00)

Father Figure - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Early in the first season it was established that Darien's parents died in an accident, and that he and his brother were raised by an aunt and uncle. But here, Darien's father is alive, is said to have "disappeared" years before, and there's no mention of the accident he "died" in.

Albert Eberts: Great news, Robert. I was able to pull a few strings and managed to get you your very own staple remover.
Robert Hobbes: That's great. You know, I'm a highly trained, decorated field agent, Eberts. I could kill a man right now with my bare hands.
Albert Eberts: But can you collate?

Trivia: A number of in-joke Dr. Who references crop up throughout the series pilot. A group of doctors and scientists are introduced as Hartnell, Troughton, and Baker; there's a business card for I. M. Foreman in Totters Lane; and the cover of a science magazine sports headlines such as "Time and Relative Dimension in Space" and "Playing the Game of Rassilon."
