Visible crew/equipment: When Rodney says the scientific name for the butterfly, a boom shadow moves over Del's arm. (00:04:40)
It's Only Rock and Roll - S4-E4
Factual error: When Del is running out of the pub, him and one other are carrying guitar amp heads and are flinging them about with ease. Heads weigh around 20-30 kg each and would be extremely hard to fling around in such a way as they are. (00:17:00)
Big Brother - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Del and Rodney have a fight in the flat, the briefcases move from the sofa to the table. (00:19:50)
Chain Gang - S6-E3
Revealing mistake: When Arnie's car flashes its headlights to Del, it is obvious that the person sat in the car is not the actor playing Arnie in the rest of the episode. (00:13:25)
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
Plot hole: After discovering that there was a rail strike and that they had missed the last bus home, the 27-member coach party all go their separate ways to try and find accommodation for the night. Boycie, Mike and Alan head off together while Trigger is left behind on his own to decide on which direction he wishes to walk in to try and find his own digs. Later on that evening, Boycie, Mike and Trigger seemingly all arrive at the nightclub together. How come? Especially after Trigger informs Del and Rodney that the place where he is staying is different to where Boycie and Mike are staying.
Suggested correction: Maybe they bumped into each other in a pub or somewhere else along the way? It's not implausible for them to have met in a small town prior to arrival at the club.
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.
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)
Other mistake: Del and Denzil have been friends since their school days so when Del says he was once a painter and decorator for a year Denzil should've known he was lying straight away.
Continuity mistake: When Denzil's wife is in the kitchen slamming pots and pans, above Del and Rodney in the corner, Denzil's speaker, which was upside down, is now the right way up.
May the Force Be with You - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Rodney brings Roy Slater back to the flat to see Del. When Roy is leaving, he suggests to Del that they should meet up for a drink sometime, and Del says, "We'll see how it goes." At this point, Del is looking down solemnly, but when Roy turns to say that they're all under arrest, Del is smiling, then his smile suddenly drops.
The Unlucky Winner Is... - S6-E4
Revealing mistake: After Rodney berates Del whilst he's in the bathroom of the hotel room he and Cassandra go out to the balcony and Cassandra goes to get him a drink, Del then goes out to join him. Whilst they're talking you can see Cassandra in the reflection of the balcony door waiting for her cue to come in to give Rodney his drink.
Chain Gang - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When they rush out of the flat to make the exchange, Rodney stays behind, makes a call to Cassie, but then appears outside the restaurant in the van with Albert.
Yuppy Love - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: Rodney goes out in a black suit and it changes to grey.
