The Yellow Peril - S2-E5

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.

From Prussia with Love - S5-E1

Character mistake: Boycie is expecting a boy, but when he finds out it's a girl, him and Del argue. Del then says "I told you it was a girl, but it ain't" He should have said 'boy'. In the script for the episode, it even says 'boy'.

To Hull and Back - S4-E8

Plot hole: Rodney follows Denzil all the way to Hull. However, it's established that Rodney is a fair distance behind Denzil several miles at least. How is it that Rodney knows exactly where Denzil has gone? He doesn't know Denzil's destination as he says to Del "he must have a load to pick up".

Trivia: The story behind why Trigger calls Rodney Dave is that apparently Roger Lloyd Pack kept getting names mixed up during rehearsals early on in the show's history. "Dave" came from David Jason when he was actually with Nicholas Lyndhurst [Rodney]. It stuck and quickly became part of the show's immense appeal.
