The Monkees

Hitting the High Seas - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: When Micky is hiding in the alcove whilst the Captain is talking to his parrot, the curtain that's hiding him from view already has a tear in it before the Captain slices one in it. If you look carefully, you can see where the tear has been quickly held together with something, so that when the Captain slices at the curtain on cue, Micky just has to pull the bits apart to make it look like it's been actually sliced.

Question: When the Monkees are locked in the downstairs bedroom and they are planning to escape, where does Mick get the lab coat and the chemical bottle from which he plans to use to scare the evil people into letting them all leave?

Answer: The Monkees TV series was very much a fantasy (this was the "groovy" psychedelic 60s, after all). Impossible things, such as items appearing out of nowhere, happened on their show without explanation all the time.
