Oil - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Rick says, "Suppose we should just have to cook our own supper," he lights a match and turns to face the oven. In the next shot, he is turned away from the oven just as the stove explodes. (00:10:55)

Casual Person

Interesting - S1-E5

Flood - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rick closes the window after putting out the fire, there is a small fire behind his bed that hasn't been put out. Vyvyan then walks into the room and the fire behind his bed is suddenly out. Also, the bottom of the curtain next to the bed suddenly moves onto the windowsill in between the two shots. (00:20:27)

Demolition - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Rik is watching 'Nozin' Aroun'' on TV, he dislikes the program and smashed the TV with his foot. You can still briefly see the image of the show on the TV, even though the TV is smashed. This means the effects people didn't take the image off the green screen quick enough. Also, a few seconds later when Rik is talking to Mike, there are spikes of the screen remaining around the edge of the TV. However, they are green - the remains of the green screen. (00:27:20)

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.

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 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.

Gary O'Reilly

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.
