The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Leonard Pearce is waiting for the cue for his character to start looking for his teeth. He's standing in the living room, between his room and Del and Rodney's room. (00:00:25)
Suggested correction: Not necessarily a mistake. If someone is looking for something they often try to think where it could be before they start searching.
Audio problem: During the first scene of this episode, (the scene with Rodney and Cassandra in bed) there is a distinct echo on the soundtrack. (00:05:00)
Revealing mistake: When everyone's back at the flat, as Del Boy is looking straight down the hallway to his and Rodney's bedroom, someone comes up to him and he turns around. When it goes from his close-up to the wide shot of everyone else the shadow of the camera reversing backwards is visible for a few seconds.
The Russians Are Coming - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Just before Grandad suggests building the shelter in the New Forest, as Del goes to look the plans for the shelter you can see Grandad sit forwards in his chair. In the next shot Grandad is now sitting back. (00:06:55)
Modern Men - S8-E2
Visible crew/equipment: When Trigger tells everyone about his accident with a "mind your head" sign, as Boycie pays Rodney to get the drinks, a boom mic is visible at the top of the screen.
Continuity mistake: Rodney says that he picked up the money off the table when they were trying to escape from the police, yet if you look closely he never goes near it. And he never has another chance to pick it up.
May the Force Be with You - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Del is proposing Slater a deal, Slater says "I don't like deals" and shoves Del's hand off the phone hook (Del was trying to stop Slater keeping him in custody overnight). But in the next shot Del's hand is still on the hook.
Suggested correction: Watch it more carefully, he just puts his hand back on the phone hook.
Visible crew/equipment: Just after the video recorder blows up, you can see the shadow of one of the cameras on the video recorder. It slowly moves out of the camera's view.
Audio problem: Del and Rodney are on the plane to Miami. Rodney tells Del to take the headphones off. Del's mouth says 'what, these?', but it is overdubbed with a laugh.
The Second Time Around - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: When Del, Grandad and Rodney Come Home to the flat after staying with their Aunt, as Del is checking the kitchen you can see Lennard Pearce standing by the door waiting for his cue. (00:26:05)
Continuity mistake: The layout of the flat changes throughout the course of the show. Most noticeable is the area by the bedrooms. In series 2 it's a tiny little hall. In series 7 it's a sprawling hallway.
Visible crew/equipment: When Del and Rodney are sitting in the van after the auction you can't see into the back of the van for huge boxes. When they start shouting and screaming the camera angle changes to show the van rocking from a distance, and you can see someone in the back of the van through the back windows banging against the side of it.
Visible crew/equipment: When Del is trying to sell the toy dogs, in a number of shots from behind the customers, the reflection of a boom mic is visible. Look to the right of the double doors behind Del. (00:01:15)
Continuity mistake: The clock in Denzel's apartment changes times during Del's first visit there, when he fools him into getting Del to paint his apartment.
Three Men, a Woman and a Baby - S7-E6
Revealing mistake: When Albert and Rodney are waiting in the hospital corridor, at one point it is around 2am in the morning. A view out the window and reflections show that it is broad daylight.
Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode when Del and Rodney get hit by the car, Del jolts forwards slightly before we hear the sound of the crash. (00:29:10)
The Second Time Around - S1-E4
Visible crew/equipment: After Del talks about Pauline's second husband kicking the bucket, a boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: When Rodney is talking about breaking up the partnership, his hands switch from being on his knees to the table between shots. (00:07:50)
Revealing mistake: When Del is trying to sell those hooky toy dogs, there are some shots of the policeman walking across the street. The same clip of that policeman is played twice, only one is longer than the other (note a grey-haired man walk across the screen twice). (00:01:35)
Continuity mistake: When Del hangs his coat up on the peg in the hallway, the whole stage wall shakes when the coat falls off. (00:02:20)
