The Young Ones

Oil - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When 'Buddy Holly' is hanging form the ceiling, his hands are not touching his guitar. In the next shot, his hands are in place as he starts to play. (00:05:00)

Dwarf

Demolition - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Vivian hits the wall, he walks back to the table and Mike is stood up staring at him. In the next shot he has a chair in his hand and is looking down. (00:10:30)

Dwarf

Interesting - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Vyv has a beer when he enters the 'party', but when he starts doing exercises in a vain attempt to impress the girls, it's gone. He had no time to throw it away.

Bambi - S2-E1

Trivia: It's obvious that they just walked into the train station and started filming, because all throughout the sequence people are staring at them.

Boring - S1-E3

Question: What is it exactly that Rik reads from the paper? The thing that Neil repeats that brings the little devil to them? I'm assuming it's a poorly pronounced version of something that was in the papers at that time, but I can't think of anything that fits it.

Gary O'Reilly

Chosen answer: It wasn't referring to anything real, just that the government's bureaucratic naming, The Guardian's mangled spelling or Rick's bad pronounciation resulted in the unlikely word "Footumch" being spoken.
