No 6 has two jackets (other than the one he arrived in). One has continuous white piping, and the other has broken piping on the collar. During the helicopter scene, his jacket changes between the external shots and the ones in the helicopter.
(Possibly intentional) Before his medical, No 6 looks into a room where group therapy is being conducted, and a tape recorder is playing at the end of it. However, when he looks in it five minutes later, it has changed completely, and there is only a single bald patient laughing at a strange device.
When No 6 and "the Woman" (Virginia Maskell) are watching the funeral on the beach, we see them talking to one another. No 6 is in front of some gorse bushes and a lighthouse, however, these disappear in some shots, and he is seen in front of a blue (sky) background.
When No 6 leaves his house to follow the funeral procession, there is a shrub in a terracotta pot beside his door in the exterior shots, but none is visible from the interior shots.
When "the Woman" (Virginia Maskell) gets up to leave the concert, after talking to No 6, she is sitting in front of some bushes in the close up shots. But the shot from within the "bandstand" shows that she was sitting in front of at least two people.
The sign reads "old peoples home," instead of "old people's home."
"On the opening credits of each episode of The Prisoner, number 6 is gassed through the keyhole on his front door. The front door, when seen from outside, has no keyhole. However, when seen from inside, the door does have a keyhole. Not only that, from the outside, the door is solid, but from inside it has a glass window."
Not quite correct. Although the door to the living room leads to the outside in the Village, it is an internal door in the London house. This can be seen in the episodes, 'Many Happy Returns' and 'Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling' where the door leads into a hallway with the actual front door can be seen to lead out into the street.

In at least two shots of No. 6 fighting for control of the helicopter, it can be clearly seen in the background that the rotor blades are not turning.
In the wide shot of the helicopter, just after Number Six loses control of it, numerous homes and structures can be seen that are ostensibly not part of the village.
Near the end of the episode, when Rover approaches the helicopter, smoke from the chimneys in the background can be seen being sucked in. This shows that the footage was played in reverse.
When Number 6 tries to escape by helicopter, the interior shots show him without a headset, but the exterior shots with the stunt double shows him wearing a headset.
In the two helicopter scenes, Portmeirion employees' cars can be seen behind the Green Dome.
Just after No 6 tells the Maid (Stephanie Randall) to leave the first time, a shadow can be seen moving behind his bedroom window.
At 5:10, as Patrick McGoohan is walking through the courtyard of The Village, in the far left of the frame there's a white sign perched on a chair. It's not totally readable, but it appears to feature the name of a production company at the top, then something about "parking" and then in larger letters "CLEAR TODAY FOR FILMING."
When Number Six approaches Number Two in the chair, the shadow of the camera can be seen on his right shoulder.
The top of the set is visible when Number Six picks up the radio and lifts it up over his head.
The floorspace of No 6's house is clearly much bigger than the overhead exterior shots of the building it's supposed to be in.
In a number of scenes, especially the aerial ones, the Welsh flag (red dragon on green and white) can just be made out on the Portmeirion flagpole.
Shadow on floor when No. 6 meets No. 2 for the first time.
When talking about Poles and Czechs the taxi driver is driving along a road that is an obvious dead-end.
