Corrected entry: The episode 'Culture' focuses for some time on Eddie attempting to teach Richie how to play chess. However, in the earlier episode 'Apocalypse', Richie already knows how to play chess, as he offers to teach Death/Eddie the rules. Eddie conversely claims he doesn't know the rules, but this could just be to help him refuse Richie's offer.
Bottom (1991)
1 corrected entry in show generally
Starring: Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: When Ritchie, Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog enter the pub with the fake money and order drinks, Ritchie asks for Absinthe but is told that the pub doesn't have any and is given Pernod instead. Later, when the £5000 pub quiz poster is pointed out, Ritchie says he's had half a pint of Absinthe and can't see anything. Where did the Absinthe come from if the pub didn't have any earlier in the episode and they never left?

Trivia: Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall met at drama college in 1975. Adrian said he couldn't stand the sight of Rik and when he saw him he thought...well what a tosser.

Correction: You just corrected your own mistake. Richie doesn't know how to play chess. He offers to play chess against "Death" because he thinks, if nothing else, it'll prolong the inevitable. Eddie then claims he doesn't know the rules because he can't be bothered playing chess, he just wants the money. Richie tells him he'll teach him how to play because that means he can make up whatever rules he wants to ensure he wins.
