Still Game

Show generally

Revealing mistake: In the opening scene when we see Jack and Victor as small boys and then turning into old men, look at Victor when he is a small boy. At one point he looks at the crew. It is over in a split second. Blink and you will miss it.

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.

Cauld - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When Jack and Victor are betting on whether a man slips on the ice or not, the man doesn't really slip but actually just jumps and lands on his back. This is extremely obvious when played in slow motion.

Trivia: In series 5 in the episode "Hard Nuts," when Jack and Victor are deciding what they are going to watch on TV that night, look at the programme list. You can see that "Chewin' the Fat" is listed. Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill also starred in this.
