Season 1 Episode 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Dafyyd and Myfanwy are talking about what things gay people can do, keep an eye on Dafyyd's drink. In one shot, it is half full, and then it cuts to a close-up of him and when it cuts back, it's nearly empty. (00:13:15)

Deliberate mistake: Andy is watching TV, when Bruce (presenter of Bruce's price is right) is calling out for contestants he shouts out three names (Helen Hunt, Akshai Vikoria and Andy Pipkin). However, when we see the contestants - there are four and Bruce says "You are the first four contestants on the price is right" even though only three people were called out. (00:06:55)

Season 1 Episode 5 - S1-E5

Plot hole: When the Prime Minister is getting his morning briefing from Sebastian, why does the PM's wife come in with his dinner suit telling him to get ready? He has quite a while till dinner.

Season 2 Episode 5 - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Viv is examining the suspects of the bank robbery, the third man she sees (the first one to be "gawgeous") has a light grey shirt when seen from the back. But when he is seen from the front, he has on a dark grey shirt.

Season 2 Episode 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When a rollerskating Vicky is talking to Bethany and Karl about Christina Aguilera, between back and front shots of Bethany's head there is either a breeze blowing Bethany's stray hair or her hair is neat and still.

Season 2 Episode 6 - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: Just before Andy pushes Francesca down the stairs in her wheelchair, we see Lou walking down the steps, and they are quite steep. However, when Francesca goes down the stairs in her wheelchair she doesn't have much of a bumpy ride, despite the steps. A ramp was put there - you may need to look very carefully and you see it pop up slightly from the steps. [A reasonable way to prevent injury but it is still a mistake.]

Season 2 Episode 1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When we see Maggie and Judy walking up to the table of jams, on the right is the breakfast marmalade which is far from the blue line, however, when we see Judy pick it up, it has moved close to the blue line. (00:07:35)

Season 2 Episode 1 - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When Lou and Andy are in the pub we see a closeup of a person's hands on a slot machine. It is obviously in Demo mode because every button is flashing. This does not happen when you are playing for real.

Narrator: Of course, I don't mean the real Prime Minister, I mean that guy from Buffy.
