Continuity mistake: Stacie is calling an ambulance, holding the phone in her right hand. In the following shot, the phone is in her left hand. (00:03:45)
Other mistake: The end credits for this episode are actually a repeat of the credits for the previous episode Lest Ye Be Judged. (00:51:10)
Continuity mistake: As Victor and Mickey are talking in Victor's office, Victor has his feet placed on his desk. He then removes them and leans forward to speak to Mickey. In the next shot, his feet are suddenly on the desk again. (00:11:50)
Return of the Prodigal - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: During Albert's flashback explanation of how he got caught cheating at cards, a blonde girl is sitting at 90 degrees to him at the table. Then, in the next shot, she's sitting right next to him.
Continuity mistake: Shiro cuts Stacey's right cheek with his sword, drawing blood. However, in subsequent shots, Stacey's cheek is completely unmarked, and there is no sign of any cut or blood. (00:32:46 - 00:33:58)
Getting Even - S4-E3
Factual error: Ash gives Albert a slip of paper with Lily's home address, including a postcode of WC2E. That postcode is in Central London, but the house Albert then goes to is somewhere far more suburban, a long way from WC2. (00:50:21 - 00:55:22)
Continuity mistake: When Danny and Stacey walk into the Human Resources office, a shot of the woman behind the desk shows the glass countertop has nothing on it. However, when Stacey spins the monitor around, a mouse suddenly appears in the next shot on the glass countertop. (00:30:05)
Continuity mistake: When Mickey and Ash are sitting with Wendy in the restaurant, Mickey deliberately knocks over the jug of milk, causing a puddle of spilt milk. However, when the wide shot of the three characters is then shown, the jug is upright, and there is no puddle of spilt milk. (00:42:46)
Factual error: The police visit Richard Shaw's estate agency towards the end of the episode. The establishing background shot opposite where the estate agency allegedly is is of what was then the Cable and Wireless Building (long since bought by Vodafone). That building's real-life address is in the SE1 postcode. The problem is that the business card the police officer holds with the address has a completely different postcode.
Character mistake: When Mickey and Emma are trying to get access to the university labs, they claim they are working for Ofsted, and are investigating exam manipulation allegations. In fact, Ofsted have never been responsible for supervising/investigating universities - they only cover places of education up to the age of 18. The Ofsted equivalent for universities is the QAA.
Deliberate mistake: When Sam first meets Mickey (who is posing as a bank robber), Mickey says he needs Sam to state that he needs Mickey's help in robbing a bank, so if Sam turns out to be an undercover cop, Mickey can plead entrapment. This is a classic error. Entrapment only exists where a cop actively persuades a criminal to do something he otherwise wouldn't have done - which is not the case here. If Mickey as a con artist knows this (which is likely), it's a deliberate mistake, otherwise it's a factual error. (00:30:09)
Plot hole: When Albert, Mickey and Emma are trying to decide which nationality of millionaire Albert will pose as, they decide not to go with an English millionaire, since Albert at this point tries and fails to do a remotely convincing upper-class English accent. However, in many earlier episodes (such as "Gold Mine") he has no problems at all in putting on a convincing upper-class English accent.
Factual error: In the flashback scene to Whittaker senior's trial at the Old Bailey (which takes place in the late 19th or early 20th century), the judge in the trial is wearing a long, full-bottomed wig. This is completely incorrect - since the late 18th century, full-bottomed wigs have only been worn by judges on ceremonial occasions, not in court. At trials, judges wear short wigs instead. (00:05:17)
The Henderson Challenge - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: Albert tricks Eddie into having a large "X" drawn on his forehead in permanent marker when they're sitting in the bar. Shortly afterwards, when they're in the flat waiting for the crew to arrive, it's completely vanished with no trace of ink left. There's no way Eddie could have scrubbed it all off and left no trace—permanent marker takes a couple of days to fade completely from skin, even with regular washing.
Suggested correction: There are solvents that would remove the mark in seconds. A bar owner would keep them in stock in order to deal with graffiti.
