Trivia
Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall met at drama college in 1975. Adrian said he couldn't stand the sight of Rik and when he saw him he thought...well what a tosser. See more...
Smells (season 1, episode 1)
Revealing: When Richie shouts at the lesbians to sit back down, as they do the entire back wall wobbles.
Visible crew/equipment: When Richie pulls out the toilet tissue from his pants, a crew member can be seen outside the window.
Revealing: After Richie gets thrown through the door, he lands in the hallway and pulls on the bannister. As this happens, the entire wall wobbles.
Revealing: When Ade Edmunson clamps the pliers onto Rik Mayall's nose, if you watch carefully you can see the pliers bend a couple of times, showing that they are made of rubber or something similar.
Continuity: When Richie and Eddie are in the booth with the lesbians, the glass that one of them was drinking out of disappears for one shot. The beer mat moves too.
Gas (season 1, episode 2)
Continuity: When Eddie tries to electrocute the gas man, he shocks him on his bare chest. In the next shot, the gas man's tie has moved back to the centre of his chest.
Revealing: When Eddie and Richie run upstairs after seeing the gasman next door, they run into a wall just as Rotweiler walks out of his bedroom. The wall and the door wobble.
Continuity: When Richie looks under the duvet in the house next door, his hands change positions between shots as he holds the sheet up.
Visible crew/equipment: When Eddie asks 'how do we usually make the tea?' a boom mic can be seen in the top left corner of the screen.
Revealing: When Richie is walking down the stairs and the kitchen explodes, he falls on the wall, which wobbles.
Revealing: When Eddie places the frying pan in the hand of the gas man, you can see that he grips it even though he is supposed to be unconscious.
Continuity: When Eddie says they are playing with a deck of 12 cards, his sleeve is half covering his watch. In the next shot the sleeve has moved much further down his arm.
Apocalypse (season 1, episode 4)
Revealing: When Eddie falls through the ceiling playing the piano, it's very obvious from the back that it's a dummy because it wobbles around but is stuck to the seat.
Bottom's Up (season 1, episode 5)
Continuity: When Richie and Eddie are on the roof and Richie starts his rain dance, watch the bottom of his trousers. To start of with he pulls the hem up to around his shins. He then starts and pulls his groin or something and stops and at this point the right hand trouser falls back down his leg. Then straight afterwards in the long shot you can see that it's back up again without him pulling it up.
Continuity: When Eddie goes down to fight the looters the sky is totally blue. But all of 2 minutes later when he comes back on the roof, the sky is totally grey. Not a chance could that happen so quickly.
Accident (season 1, episode 6)
Revealing: When Eddie ties the string to Richie's leg and slams the door, watch the leg. The jeans actually rip and the fake leg comes out and you can even see the actor's real leg tied underneath. It's really obvious in slow motion.
Continuity: When Richie is telling the other 3 guys to go to the corner, he still has his hands on the wheels of his chair. But when the shot changes and Richie says "if you need the toilet then put your hand up", his arms are crossed around his waist.
Continuity: When Richie falls off the ladder, it's apparent from the way he falls that he lands on his front (you just see his leg pop into shot) and that his head would be pointing towards the camera. However, instantly in the next shot we see him on his back with his head towards the wall.
Revealing: When they are leading Richie to the cupboard while playing postman's knock, Dave Hedgehog puts his hands on the wall. The whole stage wall shakes when he touches it.
