Frontier in Space: | ||
 | ep 1 – | Get your finger on the Pause button to spot an editing blunder: Between the pilot saying "They'll be through any minute!" and the next shot of the Doctor fiddling with his sonic screwdriver is a single frame of the airlock door being melted by the Ogrons' cutting device. |
| ep 1 – | As the Doctor is working on the cell door, just before Jo says "How's it going?", in the shiny surface of the door you can see the blurred reflection of a crew member, who quickly scurries out of shot. |
| ep 1 – | Immediately after the previous blooper, the next shot is a low angle of the outside of the door looking up, and one of the studio lights is plainly visible in the middle of the picture.
[Perhaps they hoped to pass it off as one of the ship's own lights?] |
| ep 1 – | Look for another editing goof as the Doctor opens the door and discovers the pilot waiting outside: there's a single completely black frame between the shot from behind the Doctor as he opens the door, and the next one, from in front of him. |
| ep 2 – | An error in the credits for this episode results in Roy Pattison (Draconian Space Pilot) and Louis Mahoney (Newscaster) being credited, although they only appeared in episode 1, and Lawrence Davidson (Draconian First Secretary) and Timothy Craven (Cell Guard) not being credited, even though they did appear in this episode. |
 | ep 3 – | During the last of the "kidnapping attempts", the Doctor and Jo run away from the Ogrons. The Doc dives behind a small wall, when Jo arrives behind him and bends over to hide behind the wall, in the process badly ripping the seat of her trousers apart at the seam. |
| ep 3 – | Jo seems to change her outfit between episodes — while being held in the prison cell! |
| ep 4 – | During the Doctor's spacewalk, he pulls an oxygen tube from his spacesuit. Not only does his suit not depressurise as you might expect, but the thrust from it conveniently pushes him in only one direction — towards the airlock! |
| ep 4 – | The Doctor's banging on the airlock door with his oxygen cylinder causes the entire wall to shake. |
| ep 4 – | After the Doctor's spacewalk, you can see a production assistant waiting to help Jon Pertwee back into the hatch. |
| ep 4 – | While the Doctor is planning his escape with a pair of fellow prisoners on the moonbase, watch out for a pony-tailed woman sipping from a "futuristic" cup (in reality a baby-sipper-cup thingy)... then watch her almost choke as something clearly goes down the wrong way! |
| ep 4 – | While Jo is reciting "Mary had a little lamb" to keep from getting hypnotized by the Master, she says the third line as: "... and wherever Mary lamb, the lamb was sure to go". |
| ep 5 – | As the Master leads Jo by the hand across the rock-strewn ground of the Ogrons' planet, he can be heard quietly saying various un-Master-esque things like, "Be careful down here."
[This is not so much the Master helping Jo as Roger Delgado helping out Katy Manning, whose poor eyesight (without her glasses) left her prone to tripping up on uneven terrain.] |
| ep 6 – | When the Doctor goes out to repair the spacecraft (the exterior of which suspiciously resembles the one in ep 2), look out for the all-too-obvious strings holding him up. |
| ep 6 – | When we see model shots of the full spacecraft, it's very hard to believe that the full-sized squarish-looking interior set could be present anywhere inside the (cylindrical) ship. |
| ep 6? – | Watch out for when Roger Delgado has to give a Dalek a push in the right direction, smirking as he does so. |
