Visible crew/equipment: Just after Basil and an old woman leave the kitchen, the scene cuts to the interior of Mr. Lloyd's room. As soon as the first shot of the interior begins, a boom mic is visible for a split second at the bottom of shot.(00:20:40)
Revealing mistake: Basil goes back to the second floor chasing after Polly. As he passes the last part of the banister, he touches the edge of it and it wobbles like rubber.(00:24:00)
Mrs Richards: And another thing. I expect to be able to see the sea. Basil: [whispering to Manuel.] Deaf, Mad and Blind. [To Mrs Richards.] Yes, this is the view as far as I can remember... Yes, yes it is. Mrs Richards: When I pay for a view, I expect something more interesting than that. Basil: But that is Torquay, madam. Mrs Richards: Well it's not good enough. Basil: Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain... Mrs Richards: [interrupting.] Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea. Basil: You CAN see the sea! It's over there between the land and the sky! Mrs Richards: I'd need a telescope to see that. Basil: Well might I suggest you move to a hotel closer to the sea. Or preferably in it. Mrs Richards: Now listen to me. I'm not satisified but I've decided to stay. HOWEVER, I shall expect a deduction. Basil: Why, because Krakatoa isn't erupting at the moment? Mrs Richards: Because the room is cold, the bath is too small, the view is invisible and the radio doesn't work. Basil: No, the radio works. You don't.
