Corrected entry: At the start of the movie it is clear that a different set is being used from the TV show. Some of the counters and cabinets look different, and the lifts and entrances to the dressing rooms have changed. This movie was made after series 5 but when we return to the TV show in series 6 the set is back to how it was at the end of series 5.

Only Fools and Horses (1981)
Corrected entry: During exchanges between Mr Peterson and Lennox, we find out that there is 60 grand in the safe as Friday is the store's busiest day. When Lennox is taken into the office, the store is still open, so how did the 60 grand make its way from the tills to the office safe? Tender pickups are done after the store has closed. The time when they do attempt to open the safe is quarter past six (after the store has closed) but still there would have needed to be a member of the office staff to bring the money to the safe while the Trotters, Lennox and the other two were in the office. Also a safe would not be located in the manager's office, it would more likely be in the general office or cash office.
Correction: When I worked in a supermarket in my student days, cash was taken from the checkouts every couple of hours. And that was a small supermarket in a small town, not a large supermarket in a busy London suburb. Cash would probably be taken throughout the day to be locked away.

One Foot in the Grave (1990)
Corrected entry: When Victor plays back what he has just said on the tape recorder to Alfred to prevent him from repeating himself the tone of Victor's voice is very different, which means it must have been recorded separately and not from what he had just said.
