Sleeping Dogs Lie - S4-E5

Corrected entry: Duke never ate the pork, rendering the whole episode pointless. All he'd been eating was tins of dog food, as Rodney was about to tell the Vet when Del interrupted him.

Correction: Del lies about what Duke was eating to the vet in case it got back to Boycie. And later in the episode it's revealed that Rodney had given Duke Albert's sleeping pills.

Correction: Earlier in the vets while they were watching the receptionist, Del and Rodney mentioned Duke still had the 'warmed up leftovers' of the pork, so he did eat it.

To Hull and Back - S4-E8

Corrected entry: When Abdul worries that Del, Rodney and Albert have sunk, Boycie says, "Don't worry, they've got their uncle Albert with them". How does Boycie know this? Del said in the back of Denzel's lorry that it was just him and Rodney and that they were going by plane and that was the last time they spoke to each other, so there was no other way of knowing.

Joe Mc

Correction: The events after the meeting are not shown in real time. There is ample time for Del to call Boycie and tell him the plan. They must have had some further contact after that meeting to set up all the arrangements for Amsterdam.

Correction: Boycey mentions speaking to Del since the collection.

To Hull and Back - S4-E8

Corrected entry: Albert says that the navy never taught him navigation because he was a boiler maintenance man. But, on other occasions, he has reminisced about times when he was at the wheel, which seems like an odd position for a boiler maintenance man.

Correction: It's not really a plot hole, just all part of the comedy. If Albert was not taught navigation then that is probably why all the ships he sailed on sank! We don't ask why he was at the wheel.

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.
