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)

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

Caravan Club - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When the boys are arguing at the side of the road, there is a shot of Jay with a red van approaching them. Camera cuts to Will for a few seconds then back to Jay, and the red van is in the same place despite driving down the road. (00:21:35)

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.

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.
