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?

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?

The Field Trip - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Neil wants to get the new girl's attention by getting the lorry driver to the left of the coach to beep his horn, Jay then tries to impress everyone by calling a van of old people wankers in the exact same lane 6 seconds later and we don't see the truck pass at all. (00:05:06)

Bunk Off - S1-E2

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)

Trivia: Although they play father and son in this series, Alex Macqueen is only eleven years older than Blake Harrison.

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.
