Starring: Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall

Genres: Comedy

Bottom's Up - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Richie and Eddie are on the roof and Richie starts his rain dance, watch the bottom of his trousers. To start of with he pulls the hem up to around his shins. He then starts and pulls his groin or something and stops and at this point the right hand trouser falls back down his leg. Then straight afterwards in the long shot you can see that it's back up again without him pulling it up.

Gas - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Eddie tries to electrocute the gas man, he shocks him on his bare chest. In the next shot, the gas man's tie has moved back to the centre of his chest. (00:13:45)

Dwarf

Accident - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Richie is telling the other 3 guys to go to the corner, he still has his hands on the wheels of his chair. But when the shot changes and Richie says "if you need the toilet then put your hand up", his arms are crossed around his waist.

Accident - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Richie falls off the ladder, it's apparent from the way he falls that he lands on his front (you just see his leg pop into shot) and that his head would be pointing towards the camera. However, instantly in the next shot we see him on his back with his head towards the wall.

Gas - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Eddie says they are playing with a deck of 12 cards, his sleeve is half covering his watch. In the next shot the sleeve has moved much further down his arm. (00:02:10)

Dwarf

Bottom's Up - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Eddie goes down to fight the looters the sky is totally blue. But all of 2 minutes later when he comes back on the roof, the sky is totally grey. Not a chance could that happen so quickly.

Dough - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Ritchie, Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog enter the pub with the fake money and order drinks, Ritchie asks for Absinthe but is told that the pub doesn't have any and is given Pernod instead. Later, when the £5000 pub quiz poster is pointed out, Ritchie says he's had half a pint of Absinthe and can't see anything. Where did the Absinthe come from if the pub didn't have any earlier in the episode and they never left?
