4. That Random Dude Hiding From The Cybermen

Attack of the Cybermen is all about what happens when there are Cybermen and they attack. Spoilers.

Nobody knows who truly wrote this story: the name on the credits, Paula Moore, is a pseudonym, and there are multiple accounts of who actually had the most input.

Perhaps nobody wanted their name on it thanks to this glaring error from episode two.

During a scene where several Cybermen are interrogating Flast (who looks curiously like Swarm and Azure from Flux, but that's a discussion for another day), the camera starts to track the characters as they take her away.

Unfortunately, in the process, a crew member that was perfectly obscured by a column ends up being caught for all the world to see.

It's unclear what the guy was doing. Perhaps he was another camera operator or was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's actually incredible that he was able to hide so well for so long, before an errant camera movement left him exposed.

Hopefully the Cybermen didn't come back for him after they were finished with Flast.
