Continuity: In the kitchen when Kyle and Nigel run to their dad, Tom, and start yelling and doing macho actions, in a wideshot you see Charlie walk from the stove, over to the worktop where Henry, Kim and Jessica are making sandwiches and he puts something on a shelf. Then in the following closeup of Nigel and Kyle you can see in the background that he has instantly vanished.

Revealing: When Mark takes his pet frog to the other frog's grave, you can tell that the pet frog is a rubber toy, rather than a live frog.

Continuity: This takes place in the scene were Charlie Baker and Tom Baker are talking about Charlie missing his curfew: when Tom wakes Charlie up, notice how he is not covered up in his blanket, but in the next shot, you can see that it is over his legs, that would not be possible seeing as how Charlie was just then waking up.

Continuity: When Charlie is doing his homework, he throws his pen on the book on his bed and looks at the picture of his girlfriend. He then picks his pen up from the book in his lap.

Continuity: When Tom is being interviewed on TV, it cuts to Lorraine who says "At least we get to see him on TV" and she has both her legs bent up in front of her. In the following wideshot of the 8 kids and Kate on the bed, Lorraine only has one leg bent up in front of her.

Continuity: In the shot where Beans, the frog, is just sitting on the pebbles and Mark is going, "Are you all right?", the the pebbles are bunched up on one end of the aquarium. But, in the shot where Mark goes back to his room AFTER Beans dies, the pebbles are bunched up on the other side.

Continuity: When the teenage boy picks up the picture of him and his girlfriend, the position of the picture in his hand changes between shots.

Visible crew/equipment: When the kids are being punished by Tom for soaking Hank's underwear in meat, you can see a bit of the microphone from the overhead shot at the top of the screen. (DVD)

Continuity: After the scene where the kids get grounded, there is a scene of Mark laying in bed. He then rolls over in bed and stares at a picture of him and his mum. In front of the picture are his glasses, but in the very first overhead shot of Mark laying in bed, the glasses weren't in front of the picture.

Continuity: When Tom picks the kids up from school, Mark hands his dad a picture. In a closeup Mark is holding the piece of paper at the top, yet in the wideshot he is holding it at the side.

Continuity: When the chandelier breaks and Tom falls whilst holding it, between shots the chandeliers lights go from being pretty much intact, to being totally smashed - and this is after the fall, so there is no reason for them to smash any more. The long yellow rope that attachs the chandelier to the ceiling changes the position it lays between the closeup of Tom landing (obviously not Steve Martin) and the following wideshot too.

Continuity: After Mark has been bullied, we see the bullies walk away and do their handshake, but in the very next shot (from a different angle) they do their handshake again.

Continuity: When Hank is being attacked by the dog and the family is looking on and laughing, it cuts to Charlie laughing and he is holding a glass to take a drink, then it cuts back to Hank, and just a second later it cuts back to the family at the table and Charlie is sitting with his arm across his chair facing a completely different way, with nothing in his hands. There is no way he could have put down his glass and turned to lean back with his arm across the chair in that short of time.

Continuity: When the Baker kids are taking revenge on the bullies that stole Mark's glasses, they knock the guy's drink to the ground, but a couple shots later it's gone.

Continuity: When Nora phones the Bakers, and she is on speakerphone, in the background you can see some various blue and green glass ornaments on the red wall-side, in the background of Hank playing his video game. These ornaments have moved along in the closeup of Hank frantically tapping his controller.

Continuity: At the kitchen table, Kate is throwing toast, and she throws one piece at Kim (the twin) who catchs it. Yet in the very next wideshot Kim is leaning on the table, with no toast in her hands, and Kate throws Kim another piece of toast again.
