Character mistake: Boycie is expecting a boy, but when he finds out it's a girl, him and Del argue. Del then says "I told you it was a girl, but it ain't" He should have said 'boy'. In the script for the episode, it even says 'boy'.

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).
Audio problem: At the beginning of the episode, the pianist and drummer are not playing in line with the sound track.
Other mistake: At the end, Rodney is looking at a map to see where Del ended up. But he didn't know where he had landed at this point so there was no point.

Continuity mistake: When Del asks Lisa how her mum is, he is just about to sit down but in the next shot, he is sat down.
