Corrected entry: In several episodes you can catch a glimpse of another hippie sitting somewhere inconspicuous in the background. A good example is in the first episode, when Rick is watching telly.
The Young Ones (1982)
1 corrected entry in show generally
Starring: Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall, Christopher Ryan, Nigel Planer
Genres: Comedy
Demolition - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After the food has fallen out of the magazine, Mike is holding the magazine at the bottom. In the next shot his hand is half way up it. (00:14:15)
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.
More trivia for The Young Ones
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.
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.

Correction: How is that a mistake? The hippy is a part of the set at different times. In the young ones anything weird can happen or appear. Like the old guy who comes out of the cupboard in "Boring", he isn't a mistake and neither is the hippy.
