Corrected entry: Each series is supposedly a year after the previous one. In the first series, Karen turns 5, Ben is 6, and Jake is 11, In series 2, Karen is 6, Ben is 7 and Jake is 12, but then in the Comic Relief Special, it is mentioned that Ben is 8, but Jake and Karen's ages haven't changed. Then in Series 3, Ben is 9, Karen is 7 and Jake is 13. The age differences are not only impossible but confusing.

Correction: If Ben's birthday is the first of the three, then he can (for part of the year) seem to be a different age than he should be. eg. if one child's birthday is in August and is 7 and another child's birthday is in November and is 10 then from September to October they will have 2 years between them rather than 3.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Whenever Karen or Ben are talking in the background, they sometimes say the same things as they do in previous or upcoming episodes. You have to listen quite closely. Some examples would be: "It's mine, give it now!" and "I can't find my other shoe."

Correction: They're whiny, boisterous children. What's stopping them saying the same thing every now and then?

Episode #4.6 - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: When Pete asks the man if they can have it in writing as they are having a family dinner, the kitchen door is closed, then the shot goes back to the man they are talking to at the front door, in the next shot which returns to Sue and Pete in the space of less than 2 seconds the kitchen door has been opened.

Question: In the third episode of the first series the family visit the farm for Karen's birthday treat. This means that her birthday must be September, being so the evenings still seem light. But jump to the fifth series when Karen starts comprehensive (year 7), it is often mentioned that she is 11. If her birthday is in September, shouldn't she have turned 12 already?

Answer: Acording to all online sources, her birthday is 30th August 2001. It's also documented that in Season 5 she is in year 7 and 11 years old. If her birthday is 30th August, she will start year 7, 2 days after her 11th Birthday so this is correct.
