Corrected entry: When Brian is yelling at Alan in one of the earlier episodes he calls him Alan 'Stranraer' Johnson (his middle name is an insult to the fact that he was late to the club) but later on when he and Lez are doing 'The Karate Kid' show a poster outside says Alan's last name is Dalton, not Johnson.

Deliberate mistake: In the scene with Brian and Beverly going up the stairs, Brian is in the chairlift, and you can see in front of the wig that Peter Kay wears where the red patch is where he has shaved his real hair.
Brian Potter: Don't talk to me about upper body strength, Lesley! My forearms are massive.
Les: An' we all know why that is don't we? Too much "Trumpet Polishin'"
Trivia: If you watch throughout the entire series when Brian Potter calls people on their mobile phone. The display name is IRONSIDE. This is actually a reference to an American detective who was in a wheelchair, played by Raymond Burr.

Correction: He has a stage name. Equity will not allow two members to use the same professional name, and Alan Johnson is a very common name. Too bad if you are called John Smith, but them's the breaks.
