Yuppy Love - S6-E1

Visible crew/equipment: In the very first scene when Rodney is working on his computer, you can see movement in the reflection on the screen. Obviously the crew getting ready to film.

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.

Danger UXD - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Rodney and Cassandra are having their meal, pay attention to Rodney's beer. Whenever the camera shot is from behind Rodney, his beer has a reasonable head to it. But in the apparent instant that it changes to from behind Cassandra, the beer has absolutely no head whatsoever. This happens a couple of times.

The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: Raquel says that she doesn't have any family, except for an estranged brother. However, in the season 8 episode "Time is on our Hands", her parents coming to dinner is a central theme. (00:58:00 - 00:58:30)

Suggested correction: She didn't mean she literally didn't have any family left. During the 1996 specials, she spoke to them for the first time in years, so the lack of contact up until that point means spiritually she didn't have family.

The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7

Plot hole: After discovering that there was a rail strike and that they had missed the last bus home, the 27-member coach party all go their separate ways to try and find accommodation for the night. Boycie, Mike and Alan head off together while Trigger is left behind on his own to decide on which direction he wishes to walk in to try and find his own digs. Later on that evening, Boycie, Mike and Trigger seemingly all arrive at the nightclub together. How come? Especially after Trigger informs Del and Rodney that the place where he is staying is different to where Boycie and Mike are staying.

Suggested correction: Maybe they bumped into each other in a pub or somewhere else along the way? It's not implausible for them to have met in a small town prior to arrival at the club.

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.

Chain Gang - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: When they rush out of the flat to make the exchange, Rodney stays behind, makes a call to Cassie, but then appears outside the restaurant in the van with Albert.

Modern Men - S8-E2

Uncle Albert: Is that the radio I hear, Rodney?
Rodney: No, Elton John popped in and he's rehearsing in the kitchen!
