As One Door Closes - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When Del is escaping in the van, there is a view from the side of the van and the door is almost completely shut.

Video Nasty - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When Mickey Pearce is filming, Rodney walks in and says something, then turns and walks back into the kitchen. When the video is shown at the Nag's Head, Rodney turns the other way before walking out.
