Only Fools and Horses

The Longest Night - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When Lennox Gilbey opens a can of beer in the supermarket, you can see that he has a long packet of spaghetti inside his jacket. He doesn't take it off the shelf until a few shots later. (00:06:00)

Tea for Three - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rodney is sitting on the chair and starts eating crisps, you can see that he is sitting on a cushion. It is gone by the time he gets up.

Tea for Three - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Del & Rodney are talking to Andy on the hill just before Del goes hang-gliding, look at the first shot of Andy. Over his shoulder, the Trotter van is in full view. The shot then turns to Del & Rodney and when it goes back to Andy, there is no van.

Dates - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When the police car drives out of the Nag's Head car park after the two police officers arrested Del, you can see that the bonnet of the car is damaged, but when the car arrives at the police station, there is now no damage to the car.

The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: In 'The Unlucky Winner Is' (which is set before Rodney and Cassandra marry) Del changes Rodney's date of birth to 2nd November 1974 in order to make him appear 14, meaning this episode is set sometime between November 1988 and November 1989. However, in this episode, which takes place after Rodney and Cassandra have been married a whole year, a sign in the window of the coach (which can be seen just as the coach is leaving the police station) states that this episode takes place in 1989, and it is on a Bank Holiday weekend, thus can be no later than August 1989.
