Number 6 and Number 2 are overlooking the beach while Nadia goes into the water, when Number 2 stands up to leave a man with a red and black striped shirt, blue cap and blue pants walks into the shot from the right, just as Number 6 begins to stand. The scene cuts to another shot from an angle further to the left where Number 6 continues the process of standing (thus establishing that no amount of time has passed during the cut), yet the man has disappeared.
Number Six's jacket changes when the helicopter arrives as he and The General are playing chess. Initially the white trim round the lapel is continuous, and in the next shot, the trim has breaks at the inlet V shapes, both sides.
When Number Six sees Nadia being pulled ashore by "Rover" and the two "Roverettes," the beach has a very gradual slope to it as she is pulled smoothly and easily onto land. However, in the next shot, which shows Number Six approaching her, the beach has a noticeable drop-off to the water's edge, indicating that the second shot was staged elsewhere from the first shot while it is clear that Nadia had not been moved yet.
From a distance the front door of Number Two's house in The Village is glazed with glass panels, but in a close up shot it is a solid wooden door.
When Nadia first wakes up in the Village and looks out a window, the design of the window changes between shots.
When the box containing McGoohan and Nadia is opened up, it is obvious that their positions have been reversed from the shots during transit.
UPDATE: This is not a goof. Their positions never change. The crate has been opened from the bottom, not the top.

Close to the end of the episode, Fotheringay gets a phone call telling him that the box with The Prisoner and Nadia has arrived. As the whole thing is a setup, and Fotheringay is in a fake office in the village, this scene makes no sense.
UPDATE: This is not a goof. Nothing Fotheringay says to the unseen and unheard caller indicates that he has been told that they have arrived. He states that he's seen a copy of the deciphered message. Then he asks "what time would you say?" implying that he is asking when they are expected to arrive. At this point in the story, the viewer does not know that this is all a deception.

When 747 jet takes off from runway, sound effect used is for propeller airplane.
UPDATE: This is not a goof. The airplane seen is not a 747 jet. It is a propeller-driven Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair.

Nadia can be seen kicking her legs at one point, when she is supposedly being dragged through the water unconscious by Rover.
When Number 6 jumps on the tree trunk, it flexes as if made of foam.
When Number Six and Nadia are hiding in boxes, with the wood divider between them, Patrick McGoohan ruins the illusion that they are separated by sticking his hand over the edge of the wood divider.
Polish lorry is driving on left-hand side of road.
As Nadia is "landed" on the beach by Rover, a camera shadow can be seen.
The sailing boat is traveling right to left along the coast, but if coming from the Baltic states and going southwest into Poland, the boat should go from left to right.
Nadia claims that the Village is in Lithuania and 30 miles from the border with Poland. But since it is on the coast, it would be separated from Poland by Kaliningrad and at least 100 miles from the border.
Nadia says she does not consider herself Russian, but Estonian. However, her character has an ethnic Russian name and speaks Russian without an Estonian accent. (The actress Nadia Gray was herself Romanian.)
