3 other mistakes in season 2 - chronological order

(2 votes)

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.

Summer Holiday - S2-E6

Other mistake: When the bank robber is holding the employee hostage, he has him place the money into a sack on the desk with "Euston Film Property Department" written on it. There is also a second sack with "Swag Bag" written on it that has money inside it. Later, when the robber attempts to leave the bank, he only has the Swag Bag sack, and the Euston Film Property Department sack is never brought up again. (00:29:10 - 00:30:30)

Summer Holiday - S2-E6

Other mistake: Whilst Rick is trying to rob the bank, a police officer announces that the police are outside and have the building surrounded. Once the main characters get the money, they run out of the bank, but the police are nowhere to be found and only begin to arrive once they get into the car. (00:29:45 - 00:30:37)

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)

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 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.
