Continuity: Often during the show, the viewpoint will switch between cameras to show people from different angles. The problem is, the show is meant to be seen as a documentary, and filmed "for real", meaning these camera switches would reveal the camera that must have been taking the previous shot. No cameras are ever seen, and as a "documentary" it can't be said that the filmmakers could ask the characters to stop in mid-conversation while they moved the previous camera out of the way.

Quotes
Gareth: That's one reason why gays shouldn't be allowed into the army. Because if we're in battle, is he going to be looking at the enemy, or is he going to be looking at me and going "Ooh. He looks tasty in his uniform". And I'm not homophobic, all right? Come round, look at my CDs. You'll see Queen, George Michael, Pet Shop Boys. They're all bummers.
Across whole show
Downsize (season 1, episode 1)
Continuity: After Gareth hits Tim on the head with his newspaper the following shot shows that the briefcase and newspaper have swapped hands.
New Girl (season 1, episode 5)
Continuity: When Donna comes in late and David is asking her where she has been, as it changes shots between Donna and David, in the background Dawn's right sleeve changes from being down to up at wrist height several times but she is in the same posture all the time.
Judgement (season 1, episode 6)
Continuity: In the scene with David and Gareth in David's office, David gives a hole-punch to Gareth as a souvenir. The hole-punch has a guide accessory sticking out of it (to punch holes in the middle of different sizes of paper), which is adjustable. At the beginning of the scene it only sticks out by about 2 cm, but by the time David hands it to Gareth it is about 5 cm - even though no-one has touched it.
Episode 2 (season 2, episode 2)
Continuity: In Keith's appraisal David asks him about 'The Q & A'. In the shot of Keith answering with 'I thought you filled that in', David's right hand is off the paper. In the next shot his hand is clutching the paper.
Christmas Special (2) (season 99, episode 2)
Continuity: David storms away from Finchy just after "Only you" starts playing. Only a few seconds of music later, he has somehow had time to wander over to Gareth and tell him a riddle (which he doesn't understand.) David wouldn't have had time.
