The Herb Garden Germination - S4-E20
Revealing mistake: Sheldon's laptop has gone through several strange transformations throughout the series, but in this episode it takes the biscuit - it appears to be a Dell XPS with the back covered up, but the shot of Sheldon chatting only to Amy shows a Mac keyboard, with the laptop running OS X.

Plot hole: Jay is thrown out of the hotel pool for throwing a young boy into the pool, and Will is thrown out for insulting the girl in a wheelchair. At this time, Simon was in the cafe, nowhere near the other boys and not involved in any of these. So why would he be thrown out, too? How would the employee who grabs him even know they were together?

Revealing mistake: When Rimmer stands up from underneath the table, just before he says, "Thanks for your support" to Lister, listen very carefully and you can hear the stunt director saying "Action!" backwards. This shot was the splice point between the reversed and the regular footage. (I know this mistake is listed as being in the 'backwards version' on the DVD, but it is in the regular broadcast version too - you just have to listen harder for it.)

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.

Question: When Marvin is left behind in the Disaster Area ship as the others teleport away, he says, "I'm so intelligent I've probably got time to go through the five." before he is cut off. Is there anything in the books or rest of the series which suggests what we was about to say?

Question: When the people in the military base channel the All Spark to create a Transformer, it is evil and tries to shoot them; and the Transformers that Sam creates from machines in the city by accident also appear to attack the humans around them. If the All Spark can only create evil Transformers then where did the good ones come from?
Chosen answer: I don't think we have enough information to say that it only creates evil transformers. I think it would be more accurate to say that it creates transformers that ACT bad, which could be because they don't know the difference yet. There is a difference between amoral and immoral. Amoral creatures don't know the difference and could then do a lot of bad things in their excitement for being created. Immoral creatures do bad things because they know they're bad. Alternatively the transformers are actually evil because they're interacting with earth technology, all of which was derived from Megatron who's very much evil already.

Factual error: Paul Chuck talks a lot about how good Lammy's guitar is going to be, because of the wood they make it out of. However since it is an electric guitar the shape and material of the body would not actually make any difference to the sound.
24th Apr 2007
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.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Marshall has to jump over multiple small robots, if Marshall misses a jump and is killed by a robot, the robot turns orange, no matter what colour it was before.
8th Apr 2007
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Marshal is attacked by two Indians, if you allow the first Indian to kill him, the second one disappears.

Scott Tenorman Must Die - S5-E4
Factual error: Radiohead's recording studio is in Oxford, not London. (Although they might have been working in London that day, they wouldn't recieve fan mail there.).
25th Mar 2007
Revealing mistake: When Irma screams at seeing Mr Bean with his jumper pulled over his head, all of the other cinema patrons jump with shock - except for the woman directly behind the two of them, on the right of the screen. She just grins and laughs, forgetting that her character shouldn't be in on the joke.

Man's Crisis of Identity in the Latter Half of the Twentieth Century - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: At the start of the interview sketch, and at several times throughout, Cleese says he's interviewing people for a management training course. At the end, however, he suddenly claims it was a job interview.
24th Aug 2006
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.

Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Trivia: When Mr. Bean moves the marching band across in front of the manger, the military music he hums was also used as the theme song of Blackadder Goes Forth (in which Rowan Atkinson also stars).
7th Aug 2006
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.

Revealing mistake: When Alan serenades Jill, near the end of the song, the guitar player removes his hand from his guitar briefly but the guitar part continues to play (it's being synthesised as part of the keyboard's rhythm track). (00:19:10)
8th Jun 2006
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)

Chosen answer: That seems to be an error in the subtitling of the episode. What Marvin actually says is: "I may just be a menial robot, but I'm far too intelligent to expect to think of me for a moment... far too intelligent..."
