Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After Albert has filled up the baby bottle with the proper water, Myles, Rodney, Del and Albert are all back in front of the shed. In one of the shed windows, a boom mic can be seen moving around.

Mistake Revealing: When Rodney is holding Damien, it shows a shot of it in the mirror, the next shot is from behind the mirror and he is holding him the different way round.

Mistake Other: After Del-boy is finished filling the first set of water bottles with the hose, he moves the rig and sets up some new ones. Now, when he pours, the water doesn't go into the bottles, but rather pours over the side. Despite this, Del continues working as though everything is fine.

Fatal Extraction (season 99, episode 13)

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: When Rodney comes into the dentist to see Del about the gerbil, he looks a bit windswept with his hair everywhere, but when it cuts back to Rodney, his hair is perfect.
