Fatal Extraction - S7-E11

Audio problem: In one of the scenes where you see Del trying to sell some ski wear at the market, his lips are obviously saying something totally different to what he actually says. They have dubbed over the original soundtrack.

The Class of '62 - S7-E5

Audio problem: When Del invites all his mates round to his flat after the reunion, they start to go through a number of photos. When Del shows them the photo of the school football team, Trigger says, "There's that Italian kid, good player, what was his name?" But if you look closely, Trigger's voice has been dubbed over. Instead, he says, "There's that Italian Prat."

The Sky's the Limit - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: In the season 4 episode where grandad is buried, we see outside the flat and to the right of the door as you look from inside the flat is a wall. In this episode, Boycie runs out of the flat and goes to the right.

The Sky's the Limit - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When Boycie is playing with his new satellite dish, Marlene comes into the garden with Tyler in a pram - watch the pram switch backwards and forwards as they are having a conversation.

Mother Nature's Son - S7-E10

Other mistake: After Del-boy is finished filling the first set of water bottles with the hose, he moves the rig and sets up some new ones. Now, when he pours, the water doesn't go into the bottles, but rather pours over the side. Despite this, Del continues working as though everything is fine. (00:43:45)

Rodney Come Home - S7-E1

Revealing mistake: When Albert is coming through the crowd of people that Del is talking to, to go and look out, look at the extra just to the right of Albert. He forgets he should be in role and stares straight at the camera for the whole time.

Mother Nature's Son - S7-E10

Revealing mistake: As Del Boy is talking to Rodney and preparing his bacon sandwich a lingering shadow can be seen, being cast against the kitchen door. This shadow belongs to Uncle Albert, who is waiting for his cue to walk into the kitchen with Weetabix on his face. (00:10:55)

Mother Nature's Son - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: After Rodney tells Del about Miles in the flat, as he says 'I wish I kept my mouth shut now', he sits on the sofa with his arms folded. Almost immediately after, when the shot changes to show Raquel walk in, he is now lounging on the sofa with a newspaper. He couldn't have changed his position that quickly.

Trigger: Problems, Dave?
Rodney: I don't want to talk about it Trig. You ever been wrongly accused of something?
Trigger: Yeah once.
Rodney: Yeah, How did you get out of it?
Trigger: Well I didn't - I was guilty.
