Revealing mistake: S9 E1 "Bully for Ben": When Ben hits the punch bag sideways, it's easy to tell that someone is controlling the punch bag as it never slows down.
My Family (2000)
Starring: Robert Lindsay, Daniela Denby-Ashe, Gabriel Thomson, Zoe Wanamaker
Genres: Comedy
Revealing mistake: Series 3, Episode 5: "Imperfect Strangers". When Ben and Susan are in the car on the way to Manchester you can see the background is superimposed.
Revealing mistake: Sitting Targets: When Nick falls off the ladder, Pamela the snake is an obvious fake.
Trivia: For the entire first season, the hinges on the front door are on the right and the stairs have a corner at the bottom. However in all seasons after this, the hinges on the front door are on the left and the stairs go straight down to the floor, no corner. (Some sets do sometimes change between the pilot episode and episode 2, but I have never seen something change after a whole season.)
Susan: I have decided to put an end to this madness that is ruining all our lives.
Michael: You're going to kill dad?
Michael: The fact is, now that Mum's "hands-off", it's like there's two Bens, and one of you has to go.
Ben: What?
Michael: You're expendable.
Ben: Erm, I'm what... Expendable?
Michael: You see? That's another thing. You're very slow on the uptake.
Ben: Michael, are you firing me?
Michael: Very, very slow.
Ben: I don't believe this. You can't fire me. I quit years ago.
Nick: How do you expect me to make 5 star food with 4 star fungi?

Answer: Easy. He could have got the guitar at any point in his life. As for keeping it in the attic? You're not going to throw out a £1000 guitar any time soon.
