3 continuity mistakes in season 1 - chronological order

(2 votes)

Private Lives - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Neville is telling Dennis he should find a woman, Dennis is getting dressed up in his suit to meet Dagmar. After Neville has finished talking, Dennis leaves the hut without a suitcase. But when he arrives at the hotel with Dagmar he is seen putting his case on the bed(Dagmar has one as well). It is clear that he has come straight from the hut, as he is telling Dagmar what Neville had told him before he left.

Last Rites - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Oz asks Bomber if he is interested in his porn deal, just before Bomber gets his foot broken, he tells Oz he has five kids. In series 3 episode 5, Bomber tells Lainie (the native American girl) when she asks if he has any family, that he has four children. Is not likely that any of the kids have died as he has just told her his wife had died and would probably have mentioned the loss of a child as well.

When the Boat Goes Out - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: During the first scene on the site, when the camera angle changes so does the weather, from overcast to bright sunshine; also at the same time the background noise from the building site changes as well.

Season 1 generally

Trivia: The "Dusseldorf building site" that features extensively throughout the first series was not in Dusseldorf at all. It was not even in Germany. A replica of a German building site was constructed on the back lot at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire. When filming of the first series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was completed in early 1984, the site was levelled and it became Albert Square, Walford, London, E20 - the home of the Soap Opera "EastEnders" to this day.
