Cousin Cleatus - S3-E14

Other mistake: The FBI agents call for a taxi and official transportation from the Evans apartment and gave the address of 963 North Gilbert. However, the Evans lived at 921 North Gilbert. Since the FBI was at their apartment, you would think that they would know the address or exactly where they are in a Chicago project. (00:13:03 - 00:28:29)

I Look Better in Basic Black - S1-E28

Other mistake: After the wedding when everyone is outside, Smithy says he has forgotten the maps that gave directions to the reception. Bryan says he can use the sat nav in his Picasso and tells everyone to follow him. But he was driven to the church in the Bentley with Stacey, so his car wouldn't have been there.

The World Needs Heroes. Over. - S2-E9

Other mistake: The Doctor, coming up from the basement of his house, is locking both deadbolt locks using a key held in his right hand. He logically would use the same hand to put the key in his upper left pocket. Richard who is watching through binoculars uses a walkie talkie to inform both Ezra and Jules that the Doctor has put the keys in his upper left pocket. However, the next scene shows the Doctor with keys now in his left hand placing the keys in his upper right pocket. This doesn't match what Richard says he observed. (00:24:42)

Shooglies - S2-E7

Other mistake: In the inside of the flat where Jack and Victor dine with Frank McCallum, on the left wall there is a window on the left and a door on the right. However, this is impossible in their block of flats as we see in the exterior shots - there are no balconies and the layout of the building makes it impossible for a door and an exterior window to be on the same wall. From the cast commentary.
