Only Fools and Horses

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.

Suggested correction: After Rodney gives his answer, the camera cuts to Slater, and then back to Del. He isn't close to bursting into laughter. He only laughs when he and Rodney stare at each other after Slater has left the pub, which was certainly the original intention.

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)

Suggested correction: This was during his dream, so probably plausible in those circumstances.

The Jolly Boys' Outing - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: In 'The Unlucky Winner Is' (which is set before Rodney and Cassandra marry) Del changes Rodney's date of birth to 2nd November 1974 in order to make him appear 14, meaning this episode is set sometime between November 1988 and November 1989. However, in this episode, which takes place after Rodney and Cassandra have been married a whole year, a sign in the window of the coach (which can be seen just as the coach is leaving the police station) states that this episode takes place in 1989, and it is on a Bank Holiday weekend, thus can be no later than August 1989.
