Charity - S2-E5

Corrected entry: As Lee is walking in to give Dawn her sandwich you can see somebody running towards the camera down the corridor behind them but this person isn't a character and doesn't appear in shot after this scene. (00:21:15)

omegaman3000

Correction: Remember that the idea of The Office is that, as far as the characters are concerned, it's a reality show about their office life. Given this, it wouldn't be unusual for someone to be walking around in the corridor who wasn't a regular in the office itself.

Moose

Correction: How is this a mistake? Since this was actually real unedited and untreated footage, it has to be put down to a character's decision to move her hands out of the way, not a mistake.

Downsize - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Gareth hits Tim on the head with his newspaper the following shot shows that the briefcase and newspaper have swapped hands. (00:04:25)

David Brent: I don't look upon this like it's the end, I look upon it like it's moving on, you know. It's almost like my work here's done. I can't imagine Jesus going 'Oh, I've told a few people in Bethlehem I'm the son of God, can I just stay here with Mum and Dad now?' No. You gotta move on. You gotta spread the word. You gotta go to Nazareth, please. And that's, very much like... Me. My world does not end within these four walls, Slough's a big place. And when I've finished with Slough, there's Reading, Aldershot, Bracknell, you know I've got to... Didcott, Yately. You know. My... Winnersh, Taplow. Because I am my own boss, I can... Burghfield. I can wake up one morning and go 'Ooh, I don't feel like working today, can I just stay in bed?' 'Ooh, don't know, better ask the boss.' 'David can I stay in bed all day?' 'Yes you can David.' Both me, that's not me in bed with another bloke called David.

Show generally

Question: In the extras from series one everyone finds Keith eating the scotch egg hilarious but I just don't understand the joke. Please help.

Answer: It's because he keeps doing it, like clockwork, on exactly the same line and he has such a blank, serious expression on his face that Tim (Martin Freeman) can't help but laugh.
