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.
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)
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: 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: 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)
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)
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.
