Show generally

Audio problem: In the episode where the Wheezers obtain super powers, at the end of the episode, they are all singing their "Sitting and Singing" song surrounding the flaming duck.

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Audio problem: As Stanley is running towards the correction facility to not be late, there are several shots of the clock on the wall with the green bars ticking down. There is an audible tick every time a bar counts off. In one shot, we see it count down to having just 2 bars left, but it cuts back to Stanley running and we hear 3 clicks. When it cuts back to the clock there are still 2 bars left. Also in an earlier shot when the clock is off screen we hear more clicks than we see of bars having vanished when it cuts back to the clock. (00:34:00)

Comes the Inquisitor - S2-E21

Audio problem: In the last scene of the episode Sheridan says to Mr. Sebastian "The morning after the last of a string of murders in the East End." His lips however, say West End instead of East End. The script and initial broadcast used the words East End, but after it was pointed out that this was factually incorrect, the line was dubbed over for all subsequent broadcasts and releases.
