Continuity mistake: In the episode where they overhaul a 1976 blue van, there is a shot of the white donor van being carted away. Yet later on in the same episode, the white donor van is back in the workshop.
Factual error: Both Inspector Shaw and Chief Inspector Bailie wear their medal ribbons in the wrong order. The Golden Jubilee Medal is worn first, followed by the Diamond Jubilee Medal, followed by (for Bailie) the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.
Factual error: Harold Alexander, although his rank of major-general is correctly mentioned by the narrator, wears the rank insignia of a full general.
Art Class & Lost and Found - S3-E5
Other mistake: Ned paints a rather obscene painting and brings it up to his teacher. He had just painted the painting and his teacher gets angry at the school cutting the art budget, so Ned holds the painting against his chest. When he takes it off his chest, there is no paint on his chest and the painting had no chance to dry before he put it on his chest.
The Body in the Library - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Joanna Lumley has long hair tied back while driving her car but much shorter hair subsequently.
Factual error: When the large Dutch guy tells his story about his life in Holland, there are a several windmills. However, the blades are placed on the wrong side, that way it's not possible for a windmill to turn clockwise, which it does. If the blades were placed correctly, they would still turn to the wrong side, because wooden windmills in The Netherlands are always turning counter-clockwise.
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Factual error: There is a view of the night sky in southern Africa. However, both the Big and Little Dippers (along with Polaris) are visible. In general, these constellations are not visible in the southern hemisphere, and where they are (North of 1° South latitude) they are very close to the horizon. The Big Dipper (Ursa Major) is to the left of the screen and Polaris (part of the Little Dipper = Ursa Minor) in near the top-center. This occurs shortly after the lion cub scene. (00:44:00)
Buzz Driver - S5-E7
Other mistake: There is no need for there to be two lists of those who should and shouldn't drive the bus, only a list of those qualified to drive the bus.
Continuity mistake: Scarface suddenly has his chainsaw when he starts fighting Mr. Snoots.
Character mistake: Professor Saotome checks the status of the Getter Robot when his son falls unconscious. The HUD output is written in awkward EngRish, from the first line of the status report, called; "Monitor the state of affairs", to smaller details like the article randomly used for certain lines ("a control device, a correspondent"). The biggest flub though is that the name of his son is "Tatsuhito", in proper romanization, but here appears as "Tatuto." (00:05:20)
