Continuity mistake: 7th August 2008: before Clare is leaving, the taxi is facing forwards and when Clare is entering the taxi is facing the other way. (00:51:09)
Audio problem: In series 10, episode 15 Episode 867, transmitted on 25 May 1993, during Nigel's birthday party everyone is dancing and talking loudly to be heard over music - but no music has been dubbed into the scene. The scene lasts several minutes and seems increasingly bizarre as the dancing is energetic and Nigel even takes Debbie to the stairs to talk to her somewhere quieter... But there is no music at all.
Visible crew/equipment: 19/2/85 In the scene when Pete leaves Cathy on the stall to go and have a drink in the Vic there is a boom mike shadow on the window behind them.
Visible crew/equipment: 17/1/17 When Honey is chasing the rat out of the shop with the broom you can see a hand at the bottom right corner of the door belonging to the animal handler who has just released the rat.
Continuity mistake: 5/7/16 When Sharon and Buster arrive at the mansion where Gavin is holding Kathy, Sharon drives past Gavin's car which is parked opposite the mansion's front door. The angle changes to inside the car to show Sharon and Buster talking then to outside of the car and a long shot of the mansion's front door, Sharon drives past Gavin's parked car again and parks outside the front door. The following shots inside and outside of her car show it parked in a different position in relation to Gavin's car.
Visible crew/equipment: 30/6/16 When the minicab that was supposed to pick Roxy up drives away the camera lights are reflected in the windows.
Revealing mistake: Episode aired 06/05/2016. Steve (Ronnie's stalker) pulls out a folder of newspaper clippings concerning Ronnie's baby-swap case. It shows up close an "article" which is seemingly legit when reading the first few lines...only to show the same sentence repeatedly, merely the information having been rephrased. Either the Eastenders-verse bears some rather incompetent and careless journalists, or the writers of the soap were simply too much too bone-idle to write up even the most mediocre of articles. (00:28:05)
Factual error: 7 Sep 2015: Several errors with the soldiers in the recruiting office. They wear their berets almost flat on their heads and not pulled to the side - no self-respecting British soldier would wear his beret this way. The berets have tails, which British berets do not have. Lee salutes a sergeant major - he's an experienced soldier so would never do such a thing and would get an earful if he did. Lee talks about his platoon in Afghanistan - he's in the Royal Engineers, who have troops instead of platoons. In fact, all the soldiers are from the RE - in reality recruiting offices are staffed by soldiers from a mix of corps and regiments.
Visible crew/equipment: 8/7/15: When Carol and Max ride away on the motorbike camera lights are reflected on the red car parked in the square.
Visible crew/equipment: 29/8/14: At the end When Linda gets into the minicab the camera lights are reflected in the window.
Continuity mistake: 18/4/14 Terry takes Diane to the station in his taxi, a few minutes later Terry's taxi is still parked in the square outside his flat.
Continuity mistake: 28/3/14: At the end of this episode Mick Carter drives over to see his father Stan and parks his car outside Stan's flat, but in the next scene when Ronnie and Roxy are coming out of the queen Vic Mick's car is still parked outside the Vic.
Continuity mistake: In the episode where Lauren and Joey take Derek Branning's car and crash it into a shop, before the car crashes, as it speeds through the streets there are no hubcaps on the car, but after the car has crashed into the shop it has them.
Audio problem: In the 9/11/2010 episode there is a scene where Alfie and Roxy have just got back from selling her things to pay for Ronnie's wedding. There is a different audio range from normal speech - Roxy's voice comes across rushed and too loud compared to the other lines she speaks. Also her mouth does not move in sync when she says "So how you feeling about tomorrow, are you nervous?" (00:24:15 - 00:25:00)
Continuity mistake: 12/4/13: When Sharon claps her hands to get everyone's attention to tell them that her and Jack are not getting married, look at Kirsty - she is looking at Sharon over her right shoulder, but when the angle changes Kirsty is facing forward, and then turns her head to look at Sharon over her right shoulder again.
Other mistake: 10/1/24 Sharon, Stacey, Kathy, Denise and Suki returned to the cafe to fill up the hole where they buried Keanu with cement, they manage to mix the cement and fill the hole without getting their hands or clothes dirty and left the cafe as clean as when they arrived.
Other mistake: Stuart drives to his wedding in the hearse, but he gets trapped inside when the battery goes flat, disabling the central locking and electric windows. Later on how does he manage to sound the horn if the battery is flat?
Character mistake: When Pat goes to Roy Evans' car showroom to complain about the dodgy car he sold to her son David, she asks Roy if he has any children. Roy replies that he has two sons which was true, but at this time Roy didn't know he had a second son, Nathan, conceived years before when Roy had an affair with his secretary Doreen. He only found out years later when Nathan turned up to tell Roy that Doreen was terminally ill. When Roy was speaking to Pat he only knew about his first son and business partner Barry.
Plot hole: James Willmott-Brown's son Luke hasn't been seen since being bundled into the back of a van by Phil's "heavies" after he assaulted Ben, although Willmott-Brown has commented on Luke's disappearance to his daughter Sophie as they all work together. Luke is the favourite of his three children, you'd think he would be concerned as to his whereabouts, especially around Christmas time.
Suggested correction: Although we didn't actually see Willmott-Brown die, he did tell Kathy he was dying. It is likely he died and therefore Luke was forgotten with him.
Other mistake: 25/12/17 Tanya is walking across the square to get Abi. It is raining heavily but Tanya is not getting wet.
