Revealing mistake: In several episodes throughout the series we see Simon's car driving down a dual carriageway with a blue van and a silver car by the side. This shot is used several times.
Visible crew/equipment: As Mr Gilbert is talking to will, a reflection in the jukebox can be seen of some form of audio equipment. (00:19:38)
Continuity mistake: When Will says "Sir." to Mr Gilbert in the pub (after Gilbert says "I'll make sure you get another badge for this"), a man in grey trousers and a blue jacket can be seen standing inside the pub at the top left of the screen. Not only is everyone supposed to have left the pub at this point, but he wasn't visible in the previous identical shot of Will. (00:19:51)
Character mistake: When Will tries to quote the law to the barman, he states that the group must be "accompanied by an adult" in order to drink alcohol with food. However, since he just served Jay, he believed Jay was an adult; and Jay is accompanying the group. Both Will and tha bartender miss this.
Continuity mistake: When Simon sits down with Carlie and Tony, they're just getting their drinks, and Will begins arguing with the barman about his ID. In the next sequence of shots, Carlie and Tony have finished their drinks and are leaving - but Will is still arguing about his ID. How long has the barman been putting up with him for?
Continuity mistake: Will is looking for clothes to wear to convince the off license owner. Will grabs Simon's dad's suit where Simon says "not the suit" twice. Both times are the same clip and audio played again. (00:05:26)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: At the start, the position of Simon and Neil's bags changes between shots. Note the straps. (00:01:50)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When the examiner asks Simon if he has a Girlfriend, his seatbelt is on his shirt away from his skin. Camera changes to the front and the belt is on his neck skin without him touching it. (00:05:20)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Jay spots the "car full o' muff" and they follow the car until it turns left (just after Jay says he'd "give a left bollock for em"), when it pulls away, the shot is flipped. The number plate is reversed, all of the logos on the back of the car are backwards, and the car is actually turning right, as it heads to the right hand side of the road. The shot is just flipped to make it look like they're turning left. (00:10:50)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Factual error: The same number plate can be seen on two different vehicles in this episode. The registration M483LTH can be seen on the hearse and then on Simon's car when parking. No two vehicles in the UK will ever share a number plate. (00:11:10 - 00:12:30)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Will says today is about roller coasters, he has his arm raised up to his face. In the next shot, his hand has disappeared. (00:12:30)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When the boys arrive at Thorpe Park, we see them looking for a parking space. There is loads of cars visible outside the car all parked up. When we see the car from outside, all the parked cars have gone. (00:12:40)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The number plate on Simon's car changes in different shots, and between the front and back - most noticeable when the door gets knocked off while parking. (00:12:50)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Will is trying to persuade Simon to stay, he has his arms spread wide. Camera cuts and they are now on Simon's car. (00:13:00)
Thorpe Park - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When the boys are on the Nemesis Inferno, Will sits at the front while the rest sit behind him, and this leaves the right outside seat free. However, when the roller coaster is moving, the mounted camera shows that Simon, Jay and Neil have all moved one seat to the right, meaning that Simon is now on the right outside seat instead of it being free. (00:18:45 - 00:19:35)
Answer: Jay, Si and Will steal Simons dad booze as they are planning on meeting Carly later on and have lost their own supply when kicked out of Neil's place by his dad after being caught and insulted.
