Revealing mistake: In "Stop That World, Series 3, when Barry gets thrown of the See-Saw by the globe, and Barry lands in Paul's arms.

Cycle Crazy - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: In "Cycle Crazy, Series 3, Paul rides through the tunnel on his bike only to ride out again when a big truck comes the same way. It is obvious that the shot of Paul and the lorry are two separate shots, because after Paul comes back out, the trees don't follow the same pattern as the previous shot. This also happens between the shots where Paul rides into the tunnel.

Visible crew/equipment: After the robot hears the Chuckle Brothers have found another way out (when they put up the fake wall to hide themselves from the robot) look carefully at the robot's head as it walks close to the camera, you can quickly see the cameraman in a blue shirt before it disappears behind the wall.
