Modern Men - S8-E2

Corrected entry: When Rodney phones up about the job interview, and reaches Del Boy, why didn't he recognise the phone number as his own?

Correction: Because the phone number was Del's *new* mobile not their home phone, so Rodney didn't know Del's new mobile number.

Time on Our Hands - S8-E3

Corrected entry: The antiques dealer reads a date from the watch, something in the late 1700s. He then says that this watch and several like it were made in the 17th century. Well considering the 17th century is the 1600s either the date on the watch should be in the 1600s or the antiques dealer doesn't know his centuries.

Correction: Listen carefully, he says, "Back in the early 1700s," not 17th century.

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.
