Flood - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Rick realises his bedroom is on fire, he opens a window to allow water from a flood to come into the room and put the fire out. When the fire dies out as it gets covered in water, a digital red cloud can be seen around the fire as it goes out, revealing that the fire was a digitally added effect. (00:20:23)

Flood - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: The neighbourhood outside Rick's window is flooded and completely covered in water. When he opens the window and water comes into the room, the water shown outside the window appears to be a dark blue colour. But once Rick closes the window, the water switches to a light teal colour midway through the shot, revealing that the water is a digital green screen effect. (00:20:24)

Flood - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Neil points to the window after saying he hates sharks, Vyvyan says, "That's just the most completely brilliant thing I've ever seen," whilst sharks are swimming past the window. Just as Vyvyan finishes the line, there appears to be a visible cut on-screen shown around the window, where the sharks are swimming past, revealing the use of stock footage of sharks swimming that was digitally added over the window.

Revealing mistake: When Jerzei is coming through the door with an axe, you can see the door is paper thin to make it easier to get through. In fact you can see Alexei Sayle being very careful to only chip small bits away because a decent whack with the axe would smash the whole thing down.

Summer Holiday - S2-E6

Mike: Where's Vyvyan?
Rik: Well, he said he was going inside to water his plant. Strange that such a ruthless and sadistic maniac as Vyvyan should care for a begonia. Must have had it two years now.
Mike: And it was dead when he got it.
Rik: Yes... Still, give him his credit - he's watered it every day!
Mike: Only because he can't be bothered to go upstairs to the lavatory.

Bambi - S2-E1

Trivia: It's obvious that they just walked into the train station and started filming, because all throughout the sequence people are staring at them.

Boring - S1-E3

Question: What is the name of the band playing in the pub? They sing 'Welcome to the House of Fun' and seem very familiar to me, but I can't figure out how.

Answer: Madness also appeared in the episode "Sick", where they performed their song "Our House", which was their biggest (and only major) hit in the US.
