Continuity and Production Errors
- Richie breaks his leg by falling off a stepladder, landing on his front. In the next shot, he is seen on his back.
- Following on from the above, Eddie tries to put Richie's leg back in place by tying the leg to the door with string, and slams the door. As he does this, the string pulls Richie and he hits the door. If watching in slow motion, once the door is slammed, Richie's jeans rip, revealing the fake leg, and Mayall's real leg behind it. Continuing in slow motion, a trolley can be seen under Richie as he is pulled across the floor.
- Eddie, Hedgehog and Spudgun help Richie get up the stairs in his wheelchair to play Sardines. When Spudgun leans on the wall, the whole stage shakes.
- It is often stated, notably in the stage shows, that Eddie is unable to read or write. However, in this episode, he is seen to write 'I'm sorry, I'm a twat... ten times.'
- Eddie, Hedgehog and Spudgun end up watching Eddie's Emmerdale Farm compilation on video. But Eddie doesn't install a video player until Carnival, the final episode of series three.
- Richie claims at one point that he 'doesn't have time to put on (his) girl bait underpants.' This is a reference to The Young Ones episode Summer Holiday, where it is revealed that Rik Mayall's character Rick also owns a similar pair of pants.

“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.”
