Trivia
Towards the end of the episode, when Del is in the flat thinking about his life growing up and living there, you here a voiceover of Grandad (I THINK it's him but I can't remember 100%) saying: "Your dad always said that one day Del Boy would reach the top, but then again he used to say that one day Millwall would win the cup", (referring to football's FA Cup) and the joke being that both situations were unlikely. I just thought it was ironic as Millwall were in fact surprise finalists in the 2004 FA Cup final - and although they did not actually win it - I thought it was worth pointing out anyway. See more...

The Russians Are Coming (season 1, episode 6)
Continuity: Just before Grandad suggests building the shelter in the New Forest, as Del goes to look the plans for the shelter you can see Grandad sit forwards in his chair. In the next shot Grandad is now sitting back in his chair.

Fatal Extraction (season 99, episode 13)
Audio problem: In one of the scenes where you see Del trying to sell some skiiwear at the market, his lips are obviously saying something totally different to what he actually says. They have dubbed over the original soundtrack.

The Frog's Legacy (season 99, episode 6)
Plot hole: When Del is first told about the gold bullion (and the character Freddy the Frog) by Trigger's Aunty, Del says he has never heard of him or his reputation. Yet in the final episode, "If They Could See Us Now," Del is seen on a photograph with Freddy the frog and the rest of the gang on a jolly boys' outing, so he surely would have known him. Also after Rodney finds out that Freddy is his real father, he asks Del if he was anything like him and Del goes on to explain what kind of person Freddy was, but how did he know if he never knew him?
Little Problems (season 6, episode 6)
Visible crew/equipment: When Del comes through the front door at the end, as he goes to answer the phone, the plainly visible shadow of a camera moves across the door.

Audio problem: When Del is in the flat telling Grandad about him losing to Boycie in the pub, he says "only genuine weight watcher in London" however he doesn't say the word "genuine" but "only provo weightwatcher" which was obviously a topical gag at the time.
