Continuity mistake: The 3 wheel van has a breakdown and pulls up onto a pavement outside a sport shop. Del and Rodney investigate the problem. A few minutes later there is a wideshot of the vehicle, showing it's in the middle of the road, nowhere near a sport shop. (00:39:30 - 00:42:50)
Continuity mistake: When Rodney and Del are coming out of the casino in the morning as they're coming down the stairs they don't have their coats on, in the next scene they do.
Revealing mistake: In the bar scene at the start, Del and Rodney are talking to Mike to try to get him to by a computer that doesn't work. The leaflet that Del reads off, is completely blank.
Plot hole: Del says that Rodney needs to sort his priorities out about being Chairman of the Housing Committee or working the pitch. However Rodney never tells Del he is chairman (he is made chairman at the meeting in the morning and goes to find Del after the meeting as shown by the same clothes, and Del asking where he was). (00:08:30)
Suggested correction: In the 1st scene of the episode, when Rodney is getting ready for the tenants' meeting, he asks Del if he is still coming, and Del replies that he's not because he is 'going out with that little waitress I blagged from the Pizza Palace'. So the 4hrs he was on the stall must be a different occasion to when Rodney attended the tenants' meeting, and the meeting was likely in the evening. From lines in other episodes, Rod doesn't own many clothes, so the fact he is wearing the same suit is to be expected.
Agreed, the scene in the market took place at least the following day or a couple of days later. The meeting was in the evening. Trigger went 'down there' (i.e. the pub) with Baz at the end of it.
Revealing mistake: When Slater asks if the baby will be named after him and Rodney gives his answer, camera shows Del and you can quite see David Jason doing his best not to burst into laughter because of Rodney's answer.
Suggested correction: After Rodney gives his answer, the camera cuts to Slater, and then back to Del. He isn't close to bursting into laughter. He only laughs when he and Rodney stare at each other after Slater has left the pub, which was certainly the original intention.
The Russians Are Coming - S1-E6
Plot hole: Del and Rodney find the nuclear shelter and decided to try it out. They then do a couple of runs to find the best place to build it. We then see the pair inside the nuclear shelter which they have built, filled with stuff like a bed, food batteries etc. all in one afternoon. (00:11:45)
Suggested correction: No reference is made to what day it is. There is nothing to suggest that the practice run and the scene inside the bunker happen on the same day.
Apart from all of them wearing the exact same outfits, Del mentioning that it needs to be back on the building site by Monday when having a weekend to try it out. All points to it taking place over the course of a day from the start of the episode to the end.
When Del refers to "it" being back on the building site by Monday morning, he is actually referring to the chemical toilet that he's acquired. He is not referring to the shelter as this was under a pile of bricks on a demolition site not a building site. Del has already assumed ownership of the shelter due to finding it under the pile of bricks he has purchased.
Audio problem: When Rodney chucks the hat into the grave, the noise it makes is of something a lot heavier. (00:04:35)
Danger UXD - S6-E2
Revealing mistake: When the dolls explode in the flat, you can tell they are being held by a member of the crew by the way they move. (00:26:30)
Visible crew/equipment: At the start when Del is talking to Trigger, a light screen is reflected in Del's glasses. (00:02:00)
Big Brother - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Del and Rodney are talking and Del explains how everything is split 60-40, Del's collar is under his jacket. Camera cuts and the collar is over the jacket. (00:03:50)
Revealing mistake: When Albert says to Rodney about his date, "Where are you taking her? Scrumping?" As he says that line, look at Del. He mouths them by accident. (00:26:40)
Revealing mistake: When Rodney is holding Damien, it shows a shot of it in the mirror, the next shot is from behind the mirror and he is holding him the different way round.
Suggested correction: This was during his dream, so probably plausible in those circumstances.
Plot hole: The Trotter's are taken to the office while the supermarket is still open, the office containing the safe. Tender pickups in supermarkets are done throughout the day but how did the cash from the tills at closing reach the safe? It is unlikely that a supermarket would leave large amounts of cash in tills and counter caches. The Trotters were actually in the office as the store closed, as well as Lennox. The safe is far too small. A safe in a large supermarket would contain large bags of change and would have an inner safe for cash bricks. Also, how is it that no other member of staff noticed the situation in the office - such as maybe a member of staff involved in cashing-up tills needing to gain access to the safe? (I work in a supermarket as a Duty Manager).
The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: Raquel says that she doesn't have any family, except for an estranged brother. However, in the season 8 episode "Time is on our Hands", her parents coming to dinner is a central theme. (00:58:00 - 00:58:30)
Suggested correction: She didn't mean she literally didn't have any family left. During the 1996 specials, she spoke to them for the first time in years, so the lack of contact up until that point means spiritually she didn't have family.
Visible crew/equipment: When we see Mr. Chin looking round the kitchen after its painted, a light screen is reflected in his sunglasses. (00:24:35)
Continuity mistake: In series 4 episode 2, we see Grandad's grave. The scenery is sparse, no trees or bushes. In this episode Del is at their mum's and points to Grandad's grave. There are now massive trees and bushes.
Visible crew/equipment: When Rodney says the scientific name for the butterfly, a boom shadow moves over Del's arm. (00:04:40)
Yuppy Love - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: Rodney goes out in a black suit and it changes to grey.
