The Dominators:

10ep 2,3,5 – The zip on the back of Zoe's Dulcian costume causes her no end of trouble, as it spontaneously comes undone on numerous occasions (for example, when the survey headquarters is being destroyed by the Quarks).

20ep 2,4 – Toba proclaims on two separate occasions that the Dominators are "masters of the ten galaxies," but while taking over the Dulcian council, Rago more modestly claims that the Dominators "control an entire galaxy."

30ep 3 – There is no "Episode 3" caption at the start of this episode.

40ep 3 – The set of the Dominators' spaceship is composed of several stand-alone walls with gaps or avenues in between them, presumably intended for cameras to glide in and out. And sure enough, if you watch closely at one point, a rectangular camera lens and the truck it's resting on emerge clearly from one of these avenues, moving towards the action, from left to right. The shot cuts to a different angle but not soon enough; the camera is visible on screen for about one and a half seconds.

50ep 4 – When Rago and Toba are quarrelling in their control room, the shot focusses on Rago, and in the background you can see another of these camera "avenues", showing very clearly a gap in the set wall which leads nowhere, and the side of the set wall (with its supporting beams, etc.) very obviously covered by a shabby, rumpled black drape.

60ep 4 – As Jamie and Cully try to get out of the bomb shelter, the rubble which was blocking the hatch suddenly vanishes as they climb out.

70ep 4 – A boom-mike shadow appears twice on Rago's face as he interrogates the Doctor.

80ep 4 – Cully rolls a large boulder down a hill, which crushes a Quark — except that when we see it, there are somehow two large rocks in shot that weren't there before!

90ep 5 – Near the end of the story, the Doctor says, "Teel, take Kando and Cully and get them to the capital, and go to the capital..." Presumably the first "capital" was supposed to be "capsule"?

100ep 5 – As the Doctor runs towards the Dominators' spacecraft to plant the atomic "bomb" on board, the camera strays a little too close and the face of Patrick Troughton's stunt double can clearly be seen.
