(12 votes)

May the Force Be with You - S3-E5

Corrected entry: When Del is proposing Slater a deal, Slater says "I don't like deals" and shoves Del's hand off the phone hook (Del was trying to stop Slater keeping him in custody overnight). But in the next shot Del's hand is still on the hook.

Correction: Watch it more carefully, he just puts his hand back on the phone hook.

Healthy Competition - S3-E2

Corrected entry: When Rodney and Micky Pearce have just agreed to buy what is later to be revealed as the broken lawnmower engines, Micky Pearce repeats the word 'yeah' several times. One entire word carries on into the next scene.

Correction: It's not an audio problem. It was done for the effect.

Thicker Than Water - S3-E8

Corrected entry: When Del is looking at his letter with his blood group on it in the pub, there is a bit above it that says "positive", even though it was revealed earlier that he was negative.

Joe Mc

Correction: He was negative for the blood disorder. His blood group is positive.

Healthy Competition - S3-E2

Corrected entry: In one of the shots when you see Rodney is leaning against the wall at the begining of the episode, you can see a group of kids staring directly at the camera.

Correction: The kids might have been staring at the big group of people like kids do.

Joe Mc

Correction: A character doing a stupid thing isn't a stupidity mistake, it is just the character being stupid (like using the wrong French phrases). There is no minor plot hole based on his decision.

The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Leonard Pearce is waiting for the cue for his character to start looking for his teeth. He's standing in the living room, between his room and Del and Rodney's room. (00:00:25)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Not necessarily a mistake. If someone is looking for something they often try to think where it could be before they start searching.

Clearly not seen the episode. Leonard is stood not moving a muscle and then starts actively looking.

Modern Men - S8-E2

Mike: Well?
Trigger: Well what?
Mike: What are they naming the baby?
Trigger: If it's a girl, they're calling her Sigourney, after an actress. And if it's a boy, they're calling him Rodney, after Dave.

Trivia: The story behind why Trigger calls Rodney Dave is that apparently Roger Lloyd Pack kept getting names mixed up during rehearsals early on in the show's history. "Dave" came from David Jason when he was actually with Nicholas Lyndhurst [Rodney]. It stuck and quickly became part of the show's immense appeal.
