Fifty-Fifty - S1-E3

Corrected entry: Towards the end, Roy's sunglasses keep changing, in almost every shot. It's so blatant that it must be deliberate, but there's no reference made to what might be the reasoning behind it.

Correction: There is though. Roy is trying on different sunglasses because he wants to look like a bastard. It's merely for comic effect that he's changing the sunglasses when the camera is on Moss.

Yesterday's Jam - S1-E1

Corrected entry: Moss and Roy are in Jen's office to ask her if they should "connect her to the matrix", while Jen is working on her computer. Jen shouts back, asking them to stop undermining her, and the monitor has disappeared. (00:13:45)

Correction: The monitor blends in with Roy's jeans. The base of the monitor is visible on the desk, it's just sideways on.

The Final Countdown - S4-E2

Corrected entry: When Moss is actually on Countdown, the host calls Moss' opponent "Jeremy" once, when he asks how long his word is, and again when he asks him for the word. Moss' word is longer and the host remarks that Moss will probably win, and apologizes to the opponent but this time calls him "Jonathan." (00:01:49 - 00:02:30)

Correction: He says Jeremy. However, I do know Netflix's closed captions says "Johnathan", but that's not a character mistake for the show.

I'm not referring to closed captions on Netflix. I'm talking about what the host actually says out loud. He says Jeremy first and then "Sorry Jonathan" later.

I know what you were referring to. I listened multiple times and he says "Jeremy" every time.

Correction: After viewing the scene, it is quite clear Jen is pressing the buttons.

Correction: They were not motionless, we see the guy with his back turn move a bit. Plus, the one with the eyepatch speaks. But it's not unreasonable to think the guy would turn around after being recognized, and there was plenty of time for him to turn around while off camera.

Correction: It's a swinging door. Absurd as it sounds, it used to be a fire regulation that toilet doors open inwards - since this was impossible in practice, a lot of old buildings (like the theatre) have swinging doors on their dunnies.

Correction: This is less of a mistake, and more a deliberate effort as part of a running joke that episode in which Moss distrusts the functionality of anything made in Britain. The fact that it doesn't even behave correctly when ignited adds to the joke.

Fifty-Fifty - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Jen is sitting at the sofa with the phone on her lap, waiting for Daniel's call. She is wearing no shoes. In the next shot, she stands up and instantly has black high heels on. (00:14:30)

Aunt Irma Visits - S1-E6

Roy: [phone rings.] Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and on again? Have you tried sticking it up your arse? [hangs up phone.] Oh, yeah, yeah, I just realized that was my mother.

The Work Outing - S2-E1

Trivia: During the musical montage, there's a scene with dancing men wearing white shirts and jeans. During one move - when they kick in the air - you can see that the dancer in the center has ripped his jeans in the middle.

Show generally

Question: In a second-season episode Roy wears a cool shirt that simply says 'meh' on it. Has anyone else on another TV show worn this shirt? I've seen it somewhere before but I've never seen the IT Crowd so it's not by Roy. Thanks.

Answer: The shirt is available from www.ThinkGeek.com and is fairly popular in the nerd culture, so it's possible you've seen it in real life or online.
