* The video screen image of the beacon "approaching" Voga is rather obviously just the camera zooming in on the model, as the background also seems to be approaching.

* In part four, when the rocket launching video is shown, it can clearly be seen that it was filmed on Earth because of the blue sky in the background. (This is actually NASA stock footage — shot from the gantry — of the ''Saturn V'' rocket launch. This had previously been used in ''Genesis of the Daleks'', and would appear again in ''[[The Android Invasion (TV story)|The Android Invasion]]''.)
* In part one, as the Doctor and company happen upon dead crew members in the transom, by looking closely the "victims" are represented by dummies, and only portrayed by extras when a scene calls for a close-up of a corpse. Also, the "stars" in the Nerva Beacon's windows can be distinguished as rope lights with dark power cords that do not fully camouflage with the black backdrops.

* As the Time Ring propels everyone to the Nerva Beacon in part one, the [[colour separation overlay]] used to achieve this effect is imprecise — Harry's right leg briefly disappears under the CSO mask.

* In some shots, the Cybermat looks very small, such as the first shot of it, but when it is attacking Warner and Sarah, it is much, much larger.

* When the Cybermat is attacking Sarah, the actor is actually holding onto the prop and while pretending to struggle with it, she is actually pulling it towards herself like the Cybermat is jumping at her. This is not obvious, but visible when observed closely.
* In episode four, there are many instances when the green screen for the CSO has not been laid on at all. This is especially visible in the scene when the Cybermat kills the Cyberman, when the Doctor and Sarah walk away, the corridor they are going into is just a green screen.
