Bottom mistake picture

Contest - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: Whilst Eddie is watching Miss World on the television, Richie walks over to the window to clear the uneaten food from the plates. In the shot shown from the window looking into the apartment, just as the shot starts, a boom mic can be seen towards the left of shot and is then quickly pulled out of frame. (00:13:55)

Casual Person

Terror - S3-E2

Character mistake: Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog all appear worried at the fact that the devil takes "virgin's blood." However, it is apparent later in the episode that the 'devil' is in fact Dave Hedgehog's daughter, meaning he isn't a virgin.

Suggested correction: Also, Eddie previously slept with the Third Viscountess of Moldavia when Richie's back alley kidney donation backfired and he collapsed, so he wasn't a virgin either, but reacted as though he was.

Although theoretically correct, bear in mind that neither Eddie or Dave Hedgehog aren't particularly bright, and likely forgot they weren't virgins.

Andy Benham

Hedgehog's daughter could have been adopted.

Hole - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When the fairground workers are throwing things at Eddie and Richie, a brick lands in the cart next to Eddie. When the shot changes the brick is gone.

Holy - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: Even though you hear it ticking, the second hand on the clock in Eddies' room doesn't move.

Accident - S1-E6

Audio problem: When Richie and Eddie are trying to put Richie's leg back to the right direction, the clicking sound of bones breaking carries on even when neither of them are touching the leg.

Parade - S2-E4

Eddie: So, er, what did you do then?
Falklands War Vet: Well, I'd rather not talk about it.
Eddie: Why? Is it embarrassing? Shit your pants, did you? Cry, did you?
Falklands War Vet: Quite the opposite, actually.
Eddie: What, you sucked water in through your eyes?
