The Work Outing - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jerome pulls one of the disabled men out of his wheelchair, both of the disabled men on screen are in different wheelchairs to those they used in the scene where we first see them (when Roy files the police report).

Moss and the German - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Near the start when Moss runs and jumps onto the couch, his tie changes positions repeatedly between shots. In close-ups it is up on the couch arm and in all other shots it is under Moss.

Friendface - S3-E5

Other mistake: In the beginning of the episode, Roy is explaining why Friendface is bad and chastising Jen for being on it. If you look at his monitor, he is on a website with a green color palette like the Friendface infomercial and a layout similar to MySpace. While I can't be 100% sure, it seems like a graphic designer created a mock website of Friendface to be used in the show. If true, that means Roy is already on Friendface before Jen even enters the room. (00:01:00)

Roy: Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The Work Outing - S2-E1

Trivia: During the musical montage, there's a scene with dancing men wearing white shirts and jeans. During one move - when they kick in the air - you can see that the dancer in the center has ripped his jeans in the middle.

Calamity Jen - S1-E2

Question: In this episode, there's a commercial about "999" being changed to a ridiculous long number. While I get why it would be funny, was there some basis for joke itself? Like, was there talk about the UK changing the emergency number or something? Or is it just completely random. And when Roy says "how hard is it to remember 911, I mean 999", is this just a joke for American viewers to understand what 999 is? Or do British people say or use "911" too?

Answer: It's a joke on the "118" numbers in the UK. 118 numbers were used for directory enquiries and adverts for them on TV always tried to give a way to easily remember one for a particular company. The fake ad in the show takes it to the extreme. People in the UK do not use "911", the point of the joke was that Roy had forgotten "999" while saying it was easy to remember.
