Only Fools and Horses

As One Door Closes - S4-E7

Revealing mistake: When Del sees Denzil skating along and tells him that he's got his money (the butterfly), Denzil gives him a high five and crushes the butterfly. If you look at Del's hand when Denzil goes past him, you can see the butterfly is not crushed at all.

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.

Joe Mc

Yuppy Love - S6-E1

Revealing mistake: Just after Cassandra gives Rodney his coat back, she leaves the building. As she does, you can just see Rodney in the reflection in the door. He's waiting for his cue to come out of the building.

Mother Nature's Son - S7-E10

Revealing mistake: As Del Boy is talking to Rodney and preparing his bacon sandwich a lingering shadow can be seen, being cast against the kitchen door. This shadow belongs to Uncle Albert, who is waiting for his cue to walk into the kitchen with Weetabix on his face. (00:10:55)

The Frog's Legacy - S5-E8

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.

Joe Mc

Dates - S5-E9

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)

Suggested correction: This was during his dream, so probably plausible in those circumstances.

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 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.

To Hull and Back - S4-E8

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.
