Corrected entry: When David is playing the guitar during the training session he said that he only plays stuff that he has written himself, yet later in the episode when he is comforting Dawn he plays 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police.
The Office (2001)
1 corrected entry in Training
Starring: Martin Freeman, Ricky Gervais, Mackenzie Crook, Lucy Davis
Continuity mistake: In the scene with David and Gareth in David's office, David gives a hole-punch to Gareth as a souvenir. The hole-punch has a guide accessory sticking out of it (to punch holes in the middle of different sizes of paper), which is adjustable. At the beginning of the scene it only sticks out by about 2 cm, but by the time David hands it to Gareth it is about 5 cm - even though no-one has touched it. (00:15:35)
David Brent: If you want the rainbow you got to take the rain too. You know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
Trivia: Gareth's friend Ogmonster is played by series co-creator, writer and director Stephen Merchant.
Question: Does Tim Freeman do the voice-over for the new Vauxhall Zafira advert with the two small boys, currently showing on British TV?
Chosen answer: Yes, though the actor's name is Martin Freeman who plays the character of Tim in The Office.

Correction: He meant that his band only played original songs, not that he personally could never play songs written by other people.
