The Inbetweeners

Caravan Club - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: After Will's taken his shoes off, they are taken by the group of younger boys behind him who start throwing the shoes between them as Will tries to get them back. The boy in blue with the number 23 on his jumper and the dark blue strip down the arms changes position between shots, from left of shot to back of shot, to left of shot. (00:14:05)

Neil Jones

The Fashion Show - S3-E1

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?

Thorpe Park - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Neil is jumping around in his Mr Monkey costume because a wasp has entered it, you can see a family of a mum, girl and a boy in a stripey T-shirt in the background and a group of onlookers. When Neil is bouncing up and down on his back, the family and the onlookers are present. When he first takes the costume's head off after standing up, there is no crowd or family of three behind him (though a second boy in similar clothing can be seen, its not the same kid who was with his family). After a cut to his friends and back, the crowd and family of three have suddenly reappeared behind Neil.

Caravan Club - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Simon pays for the items, there is just a woman behind him, but when Jay throws the adult mag and the assistant asks if he needs a bag, Simon looks back and there is now a man with a grey shirt on behind him too. (00:07:25)

Exam Time - S2-E6

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?

Moose

First Day - S1-E1

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)

Moose

Caravan Club - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Simon is driving Will and Neil to Camber Sands and there is traffic on the opposite carriage way and he is in the fast lane on the motorway. When it goes to the overhead shot of the car doing 100mph, he is in the left lane on a much smaller road with no traffic or the crash barriers which all motorways have.

Night Out in London - S2-E4

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.

First Day - S1-E1

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?

First Day - S1-E1

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.

Bunk Off - S1-E2

Question: Why do the boys decide to steal their parent's booze? They have three bottles of spirits between four of them, which is more than enough for them to get drunk. In fact, in Will Is Home Alone, they share twenty cans of beer between the four of them (five each, all things being equal), and are dreadfully hungover the next morning. Assume this is classed as a character mistake, it just makes no sense.

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.
