Time - S2-E4

Other mistake: Just as Brian Damage says, "Oh, weren't ya?" to Neil, you can see the shadow of Neil's mother on the front door, awaiting her cue to come in.

Time - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: Whilst Vyvyan has Neil raised in the air, in the shot of Neil saying "Okay, here's a joke for you, Rick," the wire lifting Neil up can be seen near his waist. The wires can be seen again when the band starts playing and he starts waving his arms. (00:20:58 - 00:21:20)

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Neil says, "It's a nice day for weather," it cuts to a shot of all the characters sitting at the kitchen table. To the left of the shot, the shadow of a boom mic can be seen on the shelf near the front door. The boom mic shadow then starts to move upwards when Rick starts clapping his hands. (00:13:50)

Visible crew/equipment: When the woman is sitting at the kitchen table, Rick starts talking to her. Whilst he is saying, "Have some breakfast, let me introduce you to everyone," the shadow of the boom mic can be seen on the wall next to the fridge. (00:13:03)

Boring - S1-E3

Rik: Hey guys, wouldn't it be AMAZING if all this money was real?
Vyvyan: Rik, that is the single most predictable and BORING thing anyone could ever say whilst playing Monopoly.

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.

Question: What is it exactly that Rik reads from the paper? The thing that Neil repeats that brings the little devil to them? I'm assuming it's a poorly pronounced version of something that was in the papers at that time, but I can't think of anything that fits it.

Chosen answer: It wasn't referring to anything real, just that the government's bureaucratic naming, The Guardian's mangled spelling or Rick's bad pronounciation resulted in the unlikely word "Footumch" being spoken.
