Revealing mistake: When they are stranded on the boat, the boat is moored in the middle of the harbour by a rope going into the water and water rushing past the boat. (00:17:20)
Audio problem: As the guy who throttles Simon walks away he can be heard saying "I'd rather be a bus wanker than drive that piece of yellow shit!" but he can be seen laughing not speaking. (00:10:39)
Continuity mistake: The timing throughout this episode is bizarre. The boys leave their town in broad daylight, but by the time they get to London, it's dark. As they leave, Will's VO says they were in the club for 25 minutes, and Simon then says it's 1am, so they would have entered the club at 12:30am. Earlier, Simon said they had spent an hour looking for a parking space, so they started searching at 11:30pm. So how could they take so long to drive into London that it was broad light when they left but 11:30pm by the time they arrived? Even if they were lost in London for several hours, it would have gotten dark while they were lost, not been dark when they already arrived. This is even stranger if you consider that in the books and backstory, the boys' school is in a London suburb.
Continuity mistake: When Jay first shouts "Bus Wankers" from Simon's car, the people at the bus stop change between shots, as does the weather. On the first viewing of the stop as we approach it, there are five people around it and it is sunny. On the shot going past the stop there are now six people at the stop. Also the weather in the second shot is now overcast and sunless. Also in the next shot of the boys laughing to Jay's outburst, there is no sign of the bus stop they've just past but in the car's interior shots you can see the Bus Stop road markings through the rear window.
Continuity mistake: During the infamous "bus wankers goes wrong" scene, in the shot as they're approaching the bus stop there is no traffic ahead of them at the lights, but after shouting 'bus wankers' there is suddenly stationary traffic in front.
Continuity mistake: When Will is downing his pint of lager at the bar, the amount of beer in the glass keeps changing between shots.
Continuity mistake: When we see Will's exam paper, he hasn't started the exam yet - he's still reading the first page and has only written his name on the answer sheet. When he calls Gilbert over saying he needs to go to the toilet, Gilbert says it would be "the fourth time in an hour." So did Will just stare at the exam paper for an hour without writing anything?
Continuity mistake: At the end of the show, when Mr Gilbert takes Mr Kennedy out of the changing room, he says "Come on, Tom." As he walks away, he says "I'm putting my neck on the line for you, John." Is his name Tom or John?
The Gig and the Girlfriend - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When walking to school at the start, Simon and Jay are a fair distance apart from the rear angle. However they are almost shoulder to shoulder in the front view. (00:01:20)
The Gig and the Girlfriend - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Neil and Jay walk off in the club, Simon and Will's positions in the background keep changing instantly. (00:12:00)
Continuity mistake: When Neil asks if he can join in the drinking game, he gets handed a can and starts drinking. Camera cuts and he opens the can and starts drinking again. (00:14:00)
Continuity mistake: When Neil turns to see the man at the window he has toast up by his mouth. When he completes the turn the toast is nowhere in sight. (00:19:45)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback at the end of the episode, one of the shots is of Will kicking the door shut in Mrs Springett's face. The sound of her scream is quite different in the flashback to how it was in the original identical shot.
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.
