The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: In 'The Unlucky Winner Is' (which is set before Rodney and Cassandra marry) Del changes Rodney's date of birth to 2nd November 1974 in order to make him appear 14, meaning this episode is set sometime between November 1988 and November 1989. However, in this episode, which takes place after Rodney and Cassandra have been married a whole year, a sign in the window of the coach (which can be seen just as the coach is leaving the police station) states that this episode takes place in 1989, and it is on a Bank Holiday weekend, thus can be no later than August 1989.
Continuity mistake: Rodney says that he picked up the money off the table when they were trying to escape from the police, yet if you look closely he never goes near it. And he never has another chance to pick it up.
Continuity mistake: In 'The Frog's Legacy' (1987), Del & Rodney learnt the story of Freddy The Frog for the first time - neither of them had ever heard of him before (Aunt Irene explains to Del who Freddy was. She mentions both 'Freddy The Frog' and his real name 'Frederick Robdal'. Del has heard of neither of these names). Yet in 'Sleepless in Peckham', it would seem that Del had known Freddy since he was 15. He even went on their first Jolly Boys' Outing with the rest of the gang.
The Russians Are Coming - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Just before Grandad suggests building the shelter in the New Forest, as Del goes to look the plans for the shelter you can see Grandad sit forwards in his chair. In the next shot Grandad is now sitting back. (00:06:55)
Continuity mistake: The clock in Denzel's apartment changes times during Del's first visit there, when he fools him into getting Del to paint his apartment.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Del is about to leave the restaurant, the front door has a "Closed for redecoration" sign on it. When the shot changes to the outside, however, the sign is gone.
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Rodney on the balcony with Del about to join him, there's a big window behind them, and in the next shot it's smaller.

Continuity mistake: In the season 4 episode where grandad is buried, we see outside the flat and to the right of the door as you look from inside the flat is a wall. In this episode, Boycie runs out of the flat and goes to the right.

Continuity mistake: The layout of the flat changes throughout the course of the show. Most noticeable is the area by the bedrooms. In series 2 it's a tiny little hall. In series 7 it's a sprawling hallway.
Continuity mistake: When Sid is preparing Slater's food, keep an eye on Sid's cigarette. In one shot, it is normal length, but in the next, it is virtually gone.
Hole in One - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: When Rodney says "yeah he did. The landlord.", in reply to Solly, he has a glass up to his mouth. In the next shot, he has obviously just swallowed what was in there, the glass is back on the table and you can see his cheekbones moving.
Continuity mistake: When Rodney is talking about breaking up the partnership, his hands switch from being on his knees to the table between shots. (00:07:50)
