Spearhead From Space:

10ep 1 – The newly-regenerated Jon Pertwee gets off to a good start. As he collapses to the ground in his very first scene, he nearly pulls the left-hand TARDIS door off its hinges!

20ep 1 – In Liz's first scene with the Brigadier, the alleged physics and meteorite expert says, "Most meteorites don't even reach the Earth's surface — they usually burn up in the atmosphere." However, the very definition of a meteorite is a meteor that reaches the Earth's surface.

30ep 1 – When the Brigadier says to Liz, "Since UNIT was formed, there have been two attempts to invade this planet", his voice sounds completely unlike Nicholas Courtney's — in fact, it sounds quite a bit like Jon Pertwee! Either the line was overdubbed by someone else for some reason, or something strange happened to the sound on the master recording at that point.

40ep 1,2 – The Doctor supposedly has the TARDIS key tightly clenched in his hand during the kidnap attempt and subsequent shooting. However, he is shown operating the wheelchair with open hands, and he claps his right hand (the one in which he put the key in the hospital) to his forehead on being shot, with no sign of the key being there.

50ep 2 – When the Doctor arrives at UNIT HQ, he blusters his way past the commissionaire (Derrick Sherwin). In the brief shot of him saying the line "And I'm not going to tell you my name, either!" the movement of his lips completely fails to match the words he's saying.

60ep 2 – Immediately after the previous blooper, the commissionaire phones the Brigadier, saying that the visitor hasn't got a pass and won't reveal his name. But on the phone the Brigadier can be heard saying "The Doctor? Send him up!" Does the Brig have Time Lord telepathy?

70ep 3 – When the dog is barking at Sam's house and is abruptly silenced (apparently by an Auton), the sound is obviously not a dog barking. It sounds a bit like a man pretending to be a dog, but whatever it is, the attempt at sounding like a dog is laughable at best.

80ep 3 – When Mrs. Seeley confronts the Auton and it turns to face her, there's a big close-up of it where you can see the actor's right eye blinking behind the Auton mask.

90ep 4? – During one of the scenes at Madame Tussauds, one of the female "waxworks" forgets to remain still: you can see her look up and then look down again.

100ep 4 – The famous montage of the Auton rampage in the high street contains two different shots of people starting to run from the bus stop after the Autons fire on them — first from behind, and then from in front.
