Tea for Three - S5-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When Del boasts about being a paratrooper, as Rodney says "You've made a few drops in your time", behind Rodney, a shadow of a crewmember or some sort of equipment moves behind him.

Trivia: David Jason was the fourth choice actor to play the character Del. Jim Broadbent (who later went on to play Roy Slater), Enn Rietel and Billy Murray were all asked before Jason but all turned it down due to other commitments. Jason was actually only picked four days before filming started on the first episode.

Video Nasty - S5-E5

From Prussia with Love - S5-E1

Visible crew/equipment: In the pub scene at the start, when the German girl is telling Albert about being a language student, if you look at the very top right of the screen, you can see a boom mic move around a bit and then move away. (00:04:00)

Dates - S5-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Rodney, Mickey and Jevon are talking after Rodney has just got a date with Nerys, the shadow of a boom mic moves across Mickey's face and body on multiple occasions.

Rodney Come Home - S7-E1

Revealing mistake: When Albert is coming through the crowd of people that Del is talking to, to go and look out, look at the extra just to the right of Albert. He forgets he should be in role and stares straight at the camera for the whole time.

Homesick - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: When the kid steals the orange, look how the orange is conveniently placed higher than the rest to make it easier for him to pick up.

Yesterday Never Comes - S3-E4

Visible crew/equipment: As Miranda walks in for the first time, as Grandad says "some posh tart", in the mirror on the far lefthand side, the shadow of a boom mic can be seen on the reflection of the T.V., moving around. (00:05:35)

The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: In the scene in the hotel whre Mickey, Jevon and Denzil are staying, at the end of one shot, Denzil is putting salt on to his dinner yet in the next shot, he has his knife and fork in his hands and is eating his dinner. Certainly no time to put the salt down and pick up his knife and fork.
