Bowl-Derdash - S4-E8

Character mistake: Paul tells Barry a story about when he was playing cricket for Yorkshire and played against Ian Botham, who was playing for Middlesex. However, in real life, Botham never played for Middlesex (he only played for Somerset, Worcestershire, and Durham).

Hanging Round - S19-E15

Continuity mistake: When Paul pours out the pink paint from the tin, only a small amount is shown flowing out of the tin. However, the amount of paint that appears to hit Captain Pilbury on the ground below is far more.

Hanging Round - S19-E15

Continuity mistake: Paul and Barry paint a porthole pink, and paint noughts and crosses on the ship in white paint. However, through the episode when the camera pulls away, you can see that the pink/white paint has mysteriously disappeared.

In a Class of Their Own - S15-E4

Continuity mistake: When Barry walks through the door, he has the plank of wood on his shoulder. The camera briefly cuts to Paul before cutting back to Barry in less than a second - but the plank has now completely disappeared.

In a Class of Their Own - S15-E4

Continuity mistake: When Paul tears up the list and starts typing his own list, he says "If Barry's on the list, then I'm gonna be on the list as well." However, when the video footage from Barry's camcorder is later shown on the TV in the assembly hall, in the recorded footage Paul now says "If Barry's on the list, then I'm gonna be as well."

In a Class of Their Own - S15-E4

Continuity mistake: When Barry carries the long plank of wood through the doorway, the door slams, and a shattering glass sound effect and Barry and Paul's reaction suggests the glass window in the door has been broken. However, the camera briefly shows the door over Barry's shoulder - and the glass pane is completely intact.

Mind Your Manors - S20-E1

Factual error: Aunt Petunia says that the chalice was first seen in the Stone Age, and sends Paul and Barry back to where Stonehenge is just being completed. However, the Stone Age actually ended in around 3300 BC. Stonehenge is believed to have been constructed in around 2500 BC, which was the Bronze Age.

Mission Implausable - S14-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When Paul and Barry are watching the concert, just before Paul yells "Rubbish", you can see a hand turning off the music system in front of him.
