The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Leonard Pearce is waiting for the cue for his character to start looking for his teeth. He's standing in the living room, between his room and Del and Rodney's room. (00:00:25)
The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When Rodney realises that he has just drank Grandad's Steradent, he runs into the bathroom. As Del is laughing at him, just above and to the right of Del's head, a boom mic is visible. (00:05:55)
The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: When Del drops all the cutlery, if you watch you can see David Jason is holding it in his hands ready to drop. (00:07:50)
The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When Rodney walks over to Grandad and Del, just after Grandad says "they are never off duty", a boom mic pops into view for a second and then moves back up again.
Visible crew/equipment: When they discover Arthur's ashes and grandad starts to explain, a boom shadow is seen over Rodney. (00:10:45)
Continuity mistake: When Del discovers grandad talking to Arthur, he sticks his head through the door. Camera cuts and he sticks his head through again. (00:13:00)
Audio problem: When Del is in the flat telling Grandad about him losing to Boycie in the pub, he says "only genuine weight watcher in London" however he doesn't say the word "genuine" but "only provo weightwatcher" which was obviously a topical gag at the time.
Revealing mistake: When Rodney first meets his new girlfriend, watch as he says "Pleased to meet you Irene". He spits on her. Not a great first impression.
Visible crew/equipment: When we see Mr. Chin looking round the kitchen after its painted, a light screen is reflected in his sunglasses. (00:24:35)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Del is about to leave the restaurant, the front door has a "Closed for redecoration" sign on it. When the shot changes to the outside, however, the sign is gone.
Visible crew/equipment: When Grandad comes from the front door and tells Del that Trigger is here, for a split second, at the very top left of the screen, a boom mic is visible.
Visible crew/equipment: When Mr Chin is telling Rodney about the phone call he received from the health inspector, in the very top right hand corner, a boom mic is visible.
Revealing mistake: When towing the car, the tow rope is slack, showing the van is not towing the other car. (00:05:45)
Visible crew/equipment: When the butler is pushing the car away, the film crew is visible in the car's paint. (00:06:45)
Diamonds Are for Heather - S2-E8
Visible crew/equipment: During the dinner scene in the Indian restaurant, the shadow of a boom mic can be seen on the wall behind Del and Heather's table.
Plot hole: Del says that Rodney needs to sort his priorities out about being Chairman of the Housing Committee or working the pitch. However Rodney never tells Del he is chairman (he is made chairman at the meeting in the morning and goes to find Del after the meeting as shown by the same clothes, and Del asking where he was). (00:08:30)
Suggested correction: In the 1st scene of the episode, when Rodney is getting ready for the tenants' meeting, he asks Del if he is still coming, and Del replies that he's not because he is 'going out with that little waitress I blagged from the Pizza Palace'. So the 4hrs he was on the stall must be a different occasion to when Rodney attended the tenants' meeting, and the meeting was likely in the evening. From lines in other episodes, Rod doesn't own many clothes, so the fact he is wearing the same suit is to be expected.
Agreed, the scene in the market took place at least the following day or a couple of days later. The meeting was in the evening. Trigger went 'down there' (i.e. the pub) with Baz at the end of it.
Revealing mistake: When the kid steals the orange, look how the orange is conveniently placed higher than the rest to make it easier for him to pick up.
