Keeping Up Appearances (1990)
A Barbecue at Violet's - S5-E8
Continuity mistake: The BBQ fire is started by the "there'll always be an England" sign resting on the BBQ. When the guests sang that song, Hyacinth is to put the sign down behind the table where the other signs are, not on the grill.

The Inbetweeners (2008)
Continuity mistake: When we see Will's exam paper, he hasn't started the exam yet - he's still reading the first page and has only written his name on the answer sheet. When he calls Gilbert over saying he needs to go to the toilet, Gilbert says it would be "the fourth time in an hour." So did Will just stare at the exam paper for an hour without writing anything?

The Inbetweeners (2008)
Continuity mistake: When Will says "Sir." to Mr Gilbert in the pub (after Gilbert says "I'll make sure you get another badge for this"), a man in grey trousers and a blue jacket can be seen standing inside the pub at the top left of the screen. Not only is everyone supposed to have left the pub at this point, but he wasn't visible in the previous identical shot of Will. (00:19:51)

Destiny
Continuity mistake: If you travel to a planet other than Earth, then replay the second mission on Earth, your character says they need to obtain a warp drive, while they are actually flying through a warp.
22nd Aug 2014
The Inbetweeners (2008)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback at the end of the episode, one of the shots is of Will kicking the door shut in Mrs Springett's face. The sound of her scream is quite different in the flashback to how it was in the original identical shot.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
The Agreement Dissection - S4-E21
Continuity mistake: When the girls take Sheldon out dancing, he mentions that he considers himself a proficient dancer due to his Cotillion training when he was a boy. But in S1E7 The Dumpling Paradox, when Leonard suggests that they could have gone dancing with the girls, Sheldon said that nobody in the group - including him - could dance.

The Inbetweeners (2008)
Continuity mistake: The timing throughout this episode is bizarre. The boys leave their town in broad daylight, but by the time they get to London, it's dark. As they leave, Will's VO says they were in the club for 25 minutes, and Simon then says it's 1am, so they would have entered the club at 12:30am. Earlier, Simon said they had spent an hour looking for a parking space, so they started searching at 11:30pm. So how could they take so long to drive into London that it was broad light when they left but 11:30pm by the time they arrived? Even if they were lost in London for several hours, it would have gotten dark while they were lost, not been dark when they already arrived. This is even stranger if you consider that in the books and backstory, the boys' school is in a London suburb.

Mr. Bean (1989)
Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Mr Bean finds Hubert's hat lying on his shelf beside the clock, he puts it in front of the clock to cover the clock up. But when Hubert's silhouette is seen at the end of the show, it shows him lifting his hat from the position it was originally in - beside the clock.

Peasant's Quest
Continuity mistake: At the end of this game, Trogdor announces that he's invincible, and demonstrates that he is at least immune to swords; but in the actual game "Trogdor" he is easily killed with a sword.

Mr. Bean (1989)
Mind The Baby, Mr. Bean - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean runs out of the front gate of the fair chasing the baby's carriage, and we see a view of him from above, the carriage appears to be quite close to the ground, rather than high in the sky as it is in later shots.

Mr. Bean (1989)
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr Bean only removes four bangers from his Christmas crackers, but when he puts them all into a single big cracker, there are far more than four there.
8th Jun 2006
I'm Alan Partridge (1997)
Continuity mistake: After the cow is dropped on Alan's boat, there is a quick scramble of shots. One of the shots shows the farmers who just dropped the cow. However, this camera shot shows them (and the bridge) as being a lot further away than they actually could be having dropped the cow only a few seconds earlier, especially given that the boat is moving slowly and appears to stop when the cow is dropped. (00:27:00)

Blackadder (1986)
Continuity mistake: When Blackadder and the other soldiers are about to go "over the top", you can see two other soldiers standing behind Darling. They are presumably in the upper part of the trench. When Blackadder blows his whistle, you see all the soldiers climb onto their ladders and then start to rush over, side-by-side. In the next shot, when we see the soldiers emerging from the trench in slow motion, the other two soldiers are still back in the trench waiting for Darling to climb out before they move, as the two shots were filmed in two different studios.
