Only Fools and Horses

Rodney Come Home - S7-E1

Revealing mistake: When Albert is coming through the crowd of people that Del is talking to, to go and look out, look at the extra just to the right of Albert. He forgets he should be in role and stares straight at the camera for the whole time.

Suggested correction: After Rodney gives his answer, the camera cuts to Slater, and then back to Del. He isn't close to bursting into laughter. He only laughs when he and Rodney stare at each other after Slater has left the pub, which was certainly the original intention.

Mother Nature's Son - S7-E10

Revealing mistake: As Del Boy is talking to Rodney and preparing his bacon sandwich a lingering shadow can be seen, being cast against the kitchen door. This shadow belongs to Uncle Albert, who is waiting for his cue to walk into the kitchen with Weetabix on his face. (00:10:55)

Suggested correction: This was during his dream, so probably plausible in those circumstances.

Strangers on the Shore - S9-E2

Other mistake: Boycie asks to sleep in the Trotter's flat after being chucked out of his house and not allowed back in due to a gas leak. He states "I was going to check into a hotel, but I've left everything in the house; wallet, credit card, car keys, the lot... so all I've got is what I'm wearing." He isn't shown to be carrying any luggage. Later in the episode, Raquel complains that Boycie keeps putting on the hair gel that Del added onion puree to at the start of the episode. How was Boycie able to get his hair gel that was in his gas-filled house? One could propose that he asked the firefighters to receive it, but why wouldn't he also ask them to retrieve his wallet/credit card so that he can book into a hotel rather than sleeping on the sofa in the Trotter's overcrowded flat?

Suggested correction: It's shampoo Boycie used earlier on before the gas situation, so his head stunk of onion all day.

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

Chosen answer: An apparent long string of illnesses.

Answer: Joan Mavis Trotter (Nee Hollins) was an unseen character in Only Fools And Horses, having died in 1964, 17 years before the series began. She died of an alcohol related illness due to both her sham marriage to Reg Trotter and being hit hard by the death of her secret lover Freddie "The Frog" Robdal.

Her maiden name was not 'Hollins'; that is the name of somebody "Auntie Rose" mentioned when the Trotters believed they were staying with their auntie, but it turned out she was completely unknown to them.
