The Young Ones mistake picture

Bambi - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When Vyvyan yells at his knickers, it cuts to a close-up shot of the knickers while they are on the ground. In the close-up shot, to the right-hand side of the frame, the corner of the knickers can be seen lifting off the ground slightly, revealing the use of a wire to pull them. (00:11:27)

Casual Person

Bambi - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When Vyvyan's head is guiding his body towards him, there is a shot of his head on the ground saying, "You took your time, you bastard." In the shot, the ground can be seen moving up and down slightly, revealing that the ground is fake, as well as revealing the use of a hole that the actor is sitting in. (00:23:03)

Casual Person

Nasty - S2-E3

Revealing mistake: When Rik jumps in his bed with the magazine and the circular saw comes out, watch closely and you can see the bed and sheets are already in two halves.

Nasty - S2-E3

Revealing mistake: When the vampire is shaving himself in the toilet, the reflection in the mirror of his shaving cream, clothes and gloves is almost, but not quite, identical to his movements. The empty suit in the mirror and the visible part in front of it were shot separately by copying the other part's movements as closely as possible, as the surviving raw footage can prove. It's hard to see, but there is a small difference between the motion of the hands.

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)

Casual Person

Sick - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When Neil starts to sneeze, he carefully puts his hands close to his nose to give the impression that the green jet is coming from his nose. However, in one shot, just before the guys bag him we see the jet appearing from his hand while his hand is several centimetres from his nose.

Summer Holiday - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Neil imagines himself turning into the Hulk, he throws the other three characters to the ground. When Mike is thrown, just before the shot cuts to him landing on the ground, the ground can be seen bending inwards when Mike's foot touches it, revealing it to be fake. (00:05:13)

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 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.
