The Time Monster:

10ep 1 – During the story, the Doctor gives Jo a "TARDIS sniffer-outer". If you watch Jo's hand whenever it is "on" you can see her finger on a button turning it on and off.

20ep 1,2 – The end of episode 1 has the shots in a different order to the reprise in episode 2, in order for it to end on the dramatic close-up of the Master shouting "Come, Kronos! Come!" However, this causes an amusing error — after the shot of Stuart Hyde clutching his head and reeling back from the crystal, in the next shot (the final shot of episode 1) he can be seen in the background still calmly leaning over the crystal, holding his clipboard.

30ep 2 – When Jo rings the lab to say that Stuart is waking up, Benton answers the phone. He covers the mouthpiece of the phone with his hand while informing the Doctor, who says to tell Jo that he and Ruth are on their way. When Benton goes to report this, Jo says, "It's all right, I heard". But if Benton was covering the mouthpiece, how could she have heard?

40ep 2,3 – When Krasis vanishes from Atlantis, summoned by the Master, the glowing crystal can still be seen in front of Hippias, who is watching. Yet in episode 3, Hippias tells King Dalios that Krasis and the crystal vanished together.

50ep 3 – As the Master summons Krasis, he tells Dr. Percival, "You watch that crystal!" The camera obligingly zooms in on the crystal, and we see that it is uncovered at this point. Immediately after Krasis has materialised, the very next shot reveals that the plastic cover has somehow replaced itself over the crystal.

60ep 3,4 – The Master goes through all the rigmarole of trying to convince Krasis that the crystal is safe to touch, because (he says) he needs Krasis's help to carry the unit containing the crystal. But after making us suffer through all that horrible padding with the Doctor's stupid kitchen-utensil jamming thingy, the Master simply picks the unit up and carries it into the main lab himself! Then in episode 4, he carries it into his TARDIS, again by himself. Grrr...

70ep 3 – Why does the UNIT/Roundheads battle last so long, and with no casualties?

80ep 3,5 – In episode 3 when Dalios showed Hippias the entrance to the Minotaur's lair, the door opens outwards on the left-hand side. When Jo is thrown into the lair by Krasis in episode 5, the door opens inwards on the right-hand side (from the point-of-view of someone outside)! You can look at the statue next to the door to confirm that the same scenery flat has been used as both the inside and outside of the labyrinth door.

90ep 4 – The stock V1 footage is on black-and-white film.

100ep 4 – If the V1 was brought forward in time and exploded in the present day, how come the Comic Yokel remembers it exploding in 1944?

110ep 4 – Helping the soldiers to get the TARDIS upright, the Comic Yokel yells, "One, two, six, heave! One, two, six, heave!"
[Perhaps this is supposed to be a piece of Comic Yokel humour..?]

120ep 4 – When the Doctor supposedly talks "backwards", if you actually play what he says backwards, it's still gibberish.

130ep 5 – You can see the stick holding the TARDIS in the scene where the Master throws it into the time vortex.

140ep 5,6 – In the high shot of the console room while Jo is talking to the Doctor out in the vortex, there's a blatantly obvious white electrical cable (presumably used to power the various gizmos on the console) running from the console across the floor and out through a gap between two of the walls. It can also be seen in the TARDIS scenes in episode 6 — in both the Doctor's and the Master's TARDIS.

150ep 6 – In her struggle to reach the Time Ram control, Jo pushes the entire console of the Master's TARDIS out of position.
