Yesterday's Jam - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the episode, Roy is eating & drinking while the phone is ringing. Eventually he picks it up, then Moss comes in and throws him a muffin. Just before Moss walks in, Roy's coffee cup is on his right on the desk. The next shot, as he catches the muffin, the cup has instantly moved to his left. Afterwards, the cup is back on his right.

Yesterday's Jam - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Moss asks if Roy is OK, it shows Moss holding his cup by the handle. In the close-up shot of Moss, his grip is on the cup itself. In the next shot he is holding it by the handle again.

Yesterday's Jam - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the party down in the basement, after Moss has told the embarrassing Amsterdam story, Roy comes back in the room and realises nobody's laughing. He walks up to Moss and says, "What story did you think I meant?" Roy has a beer in his left hand. The next shot, within seconds, he's shaking Moss by the shoulders with both hands. There was no time frame for him to have put the cup of beer down. (00:22:05)

Yesterday's Jam - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: When Roy and Moss are in Jen's office talking about her slipping up, the computer monitor disappears from her table in the wide shots so you can see the actress.

Suggested correction: It's there the whole time. It's a thin monitor and it lines up with Roy's leg, so it might have been hard to see.

Yesterday's Jam - S1-E1

Roy: It's like they're all pally-wally when there's a problem with their printer, but once it's fixed-
Moss: They toss us away like yesterday's jam.
Roy: Yes! Yesterday's jam! That is what we are to them. Actually, you know what. That doesn't really work as a thing, because jam lasts for ages.

Calamity Jen - S1-E2

Question: In this episode, there's a commercial about "999" being changed to a ridiculous long number. While I get why it would be funny, was there some basis for joke itself? Like, was there talk about the UK changing the emergency number or something? Or is it just completely random. And when Roy says "how hard is it to remember 911, I mean 999", is this just a joke for American viewers to understand what 999 is? Or do British people say or use "911" too?

Bishop73

Answer: It's a joke on the "118" numbers in the UK. 118 numbers were used for directory enquiries and adverts for them on TV always tried to give a way to easily remember one for a particular company. The fake ad in the show takes it to the extreme. People in the UK do not use "911", the point of the joke was that Roy had forgotten "999" while saying it was easy to remember.
