Death to the Daleks:

10ep 1-4 – The surname of Murphy Grumbar (one of the Dalek operators) is mis-spelt "Grunbar" on the end credits of all four episodes.

20ep 2 – In the scenes at the start of this episode where the Daleks confront the humans, and again when they confer among themselves, three of the Daleks are in constant motion, but the fourth is rather conspicuously motionless.

30ep 2? – While Sarah-Jane is supposed to be imprisoned, watch for certain scenes when you can see her cage in the background — completely empty.
[Legend has it that Lis Sladen got sick of waiting around for the shot to be set up, so she wandered off to get a cup of tea. When she came back they were already filming and didn't want to reshoot, thinking no-one would notice. Ha!]

40ep 3 – The Daleks' head-pieces have quite a few problems in this story. In close-ups they do not always move smoothly, and sometimes rock forward or sideways. An example is in the Dalek conference aboard their ship in this episode. Another one is in the same mining scene as the following blooper, when the Daleks are discussing the explosive charges to be used on the Exxilon city.

50ep 3 – In the mining area, just before the city's "root" guardian appears, one of the Daleks says to another, "The explosive charges will be completed shortly". A third Dalek is in the background, and the tracks down which it moves to join the other two are clearly visible.

60ep 3 – When the city "root" guardian comes out of the water and attacks the Exxilons, you can see the piece of string holding it up.

70ep 3 – The cliffhanger to this episode involves the city's floor trap, which the viewer doesn't even know is a trap yet!

80ep 4 – When the bomb is being planted on the beacon, watch as the chap doing it slams the bomb into place, and the whole structure suddenly moves. He even reaches out quickly and grabs the pole as if he's afraid it's about to fall over.
