Factual error: A running gag in this film is Bob getting the wing mirrors stolen off his car every time he visits Terry at his flat. Bob's car is a Vauxhall Chevette; these cars were only fitted with door mirrors. You can see the screw holes on the doors where the standard fit mirrors have been removed for filming.
Factual error: The panels on a caravan are made of fibreglass so when Bob crashes his car into the caravan it wouldn't do as much damage as it did to Bob's car.
Revealing mistake: In the first shot of Bob pulling into the petrol station there is a green Ford Escort parked on the forecourt behind him. When Bob tries to overtake the lorry that Thelma and Chris are riding in he has to swerve to avoid the same escort driving towards him, causing him to crash into the caravan.
Bob: When it comes to women you're hardly Omar Sharif.
Terry Collier: If Omar Sharif lived in Gateshead I doubt he'd be Omar Sharif.
