-
Season 5 Episode 1: Asleep in the Deep
ADD TRIVIA -
Revealing Mistake When the water has risen for a second time it is clear that the door has been replaced with brickwork and a fake door has been put over the top of it. The door is much lighter in colour than the first and you can see the bottom half is missing as the water level doesn't cover it.
-
Revealing mistake Jones slams the door shut and the entire wall bends forward.
-
Technical Fault There's a missing (black) frame just before Frazer says "The water's getting higher and higher."
-
Season 4 Episode 1: The Big Parade
ADD TRIVIA -
The film they are watching at the beginning of the episode is 'The Spy in Black' (1939) with Conard Veidt, a German actor who fled Germany in 1933 and became a British citizen. Mainwaring still seems to have some difficulty with Veidt's German background.
-
Fluffed line - Mainwaring: "I've seen Counsellor Conway about this on Monday." should be "I'll see Counsellor Conway about this on Monday." to make any sense.
-
Season 3 Episode 13: No Spring for Frazer
ADD TRIVIA -
Revealing Mistake - All screws tighten if you turn them clockwise and loosen if you turn them anticlockwise. In the scene where Frazer is using a scout knife to unscrew a coffin lid, he is turning the knife clockwise, thus tightening the screw.
-
Poor Editing - After Jones has ordered Pike and Frazer to 'about turn' he starts to apologise for getting it wrong but we only hear "Sorr..." and then there's a cut. They obviously removed dialogue but not precisely enough.
-
Poor Editing -The first scene in Bluett's house begins after dialogue, spoken by Mr. Bluett, has already begun.
-
Fluffed line - Mainwaring: "I suppose in the general confusion you dill... still didn't manage to retrieve the spring?"
-
Poor Editing - During the conversation between Frazer and Miss. Baker, Miss. Baker starts speaking, there's a cut and she starts speaking again.
-
Season 3 Episode 12: Man Hunt
ADD TRIVIA -
References to historical events make it possible to date the events of this episode. Mainwaring mentions that Hess arrived in Britain six weeks earlier. As Hess landed in Britain on May 10, it means these adventures take place in late June 1941.
-
Season 3 Episode 10: Menace From the Deep
ADD TRIVIA -
Plot Hole - It is never revealed how the platoon and Hodges manage to get off the pier.
-
Technical Fault - Missing (blank) field (half a frame) in between the rowing scene and the arrival at the pier scene. (Fixed in the remastered DVD release)
-
Season 3 Episode 3: The Lion Has Phones
ADD TRIVIA -
The telephone number for the church hall is given as Walmington-On-Sea 333.
-
Season 3 Episode 2: Battle School
ADD TRIVIA -
Goof: (Continuity) Just after Mainwaring is abducted, the platoon are seen marching in an open area. The camera cuts to a close up and they appear to be marching past trees.
