Continuity mistake: Sometimes Mrs. Slocombe has discretion over both inventory and displays and what they will and will not sell in the ladies department, other times its Captain Peacock, Mr. Rumboldt or others that have the final say.

Up Captain Peacock - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: When the gentleman buying the dress comes out from behind the curtain in the change room, you can see the set for the canteen, with the lights off. (00:14:45)

Dear Sexy Knickers - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When Mr. Lucas goes to "knee" the pair of pants, the pants already have the hole in them, and his knee doesn't rip anything.

Goodbye Mrs. Slocombe - S10-E1

Revealing mistake: At the end during the credits, Mr. Humphries and the Lady he played are onscreen at the same time and you can see the splice made to allow that to happen.

By Appointment - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: Normally the windows in Mr Rumbold's office are latch swing open style, but when the staff are viewing the parade they are plainer push up windows.

Mrs. Slocombe Expects - S5-E1

Factual error: Mrs Slocombe's cat gives birth, but the kittens shown at the end are way older than ones who are supposed to have been born just moments before.

Oh What a Tangled Web - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: The cake the groom's father has is treated as if its real, but when smashed over Mr. Grainger's head it's obviously Styrofoam and hollow.

Friends and Neighbours - S10-E6

Revealing mistake: When Mrs. Slocombe's cat is supposed to be under the hat and "eats" the clockwork mouse, it is clear that it's a machine. This is most obvious when the hat spits out the mouse and slightly rises up in the front, which shows the wheels.

Goodbye Mr. Grainger - S5-E6

Revealing mistake: When Captain Peacock goes behind the curtain to the hall way to Mr Rumbold's office, you can see that the sets are right next to each other and the other actors are waiting in there for the next scene.

No Sale - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Mrs Slocombe arrives with her hair in disarray, but once she walks away she only has time to put her coat away before she returns, by that time her hair is neat with no evidence of it being messy. She had to have returned quickly to hear Mr Humphries' story as she comments on it shortly after.

The Clock - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Mrs Slocombe is showing a bride a veil and puts it on the counter, but in the next shot she is still holding it and puts it down again.

Continuity mistake: The set up of the canteen changes from episode to episode. It is never the same way twice.
