Audio problem: In the theatrical cut only, there is a scene where Willow goes into Howie's room and wakes him in the morning. She is heard to say something like "Wake up Sergeant", but her lips do not move.

24th Oct 2006
The Langoliers (1995)
Question: This is a very open-ended question which I doubt anyone could provide a definitive answer for, but isn't it extremely convenient for the plot that the author character (played by Dean Stockwell) is able to figure out more or less everything despite the absurdity of the situation?
11th Oct 2006
Blade Runner (1982)

Continuity mistake: When Roy throws Deckard to the ground after having rescued him, Deckard's shirt has ridden halfway up his torso, but when the shot cuts to behind Roy, the shirt is down. (01:45:45)

I'm Alan Partridge (1997)
Trivia: It is a testament to the set designers (or whoever) at the BBC that the view of the car park from the lobby of the Travel Tavern looks so real when it is, in fact, a backdrop.
15th Sep 2006
The Shining (1997)
Trivia: The hotel used for The Overlook in this film is the very hotel that Stephen King stayed in (in Estes Park, Colorado) that spooked him and inspired the novel 'The Shining'. The DVD commentary informs us that King reasoned that there was no better building to portray The Overlook than the one it was originally based upon.

4th Sep 2006
Red Dwarf (1988)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Question: At The End of 'Timeslides', even though all has returned to normal, Rimmer has altered history sufficiently so that he is now alive rather than a hologram. As the Dwarfers walk through the cargo decks Rimmer excitedly yells "I am alive.", The End of which is punctuated by an explosion that presumably kills him. The question is: What in God's name causes this explosion? And why do Lister and the Cat appear completely uninterested that one of their crewmates has just been killed?
Chosen answer: Rimmer pounds his fists on two large crates labelled "Explosives", which causes the explosion. The others had wandered off by the time Holly and Rimmer realised he was alive, so they heard Rimmer yelling followed by the explosion but didn't know Rimmer had been harmed, as they didn't know he was alive to start with.

Friends (1994)
The One With Joey's Porsche - S6-E5
Revealing mistake: When Phoebe knocks over the vase she glances at it just before throwing the diaper. (00:15:10)
Suggested correction: The bin for the diapers is near the vase, and she glances at that before throwing the diaper.
4th Aug 2006
Doctor Who (1963)
Revealing mistake: The Grove is one of the most obvious indoor sets masquerading as a lush outdoor environment. The sound the actors' feet make on the floor is especially unforgivable.

The Ambassadors of Death - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: Taltalian's French accent mysteriously gives way to an English one in some shots, most notably on location, e.g. when he catches an escaping Liz and says "Get in Miss Shaw".

The Ambassadors of Death - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: There are a handful of similar continuity errors, but one that stands out in particular occurs at the end of Episode 1. The Doctor and Liz go into the lab and Taltalian steps out from behind the door wearing glasses and brandishing a gun. However, in the recap at the start of episode 2 he isn't wearing glasses and moves differently.

Chosen answer: That's just it....if he had not been on the plane, then the story would not have evolved the way it did, and we would be given a different set of events. He writes mystery novels, and it is fairly realistic that he would have figured out most of the events as they unfolded, as he likely uses similar bizarre situations for his books, and is familiar with the strange and unusual.
