Mistakes

in "cheering up ludovic" the door falls off the vehicle along with the rear view mirror, straight after compo says to clegg tht a man is passing, clegg says he cant see him in the mirror, how can he when its on the door tht fell off?
 
just noticed another 1, in "Adopted by a Stray" the trio get on the bus using there bus passes, however in the next episode "The Defeat of the Stoneworm" Compo joins the bus queue and Nora says how can he afford a bus, why doesnt Compo just say i got a bus pass or summat like tht, at least he cud correct Nora on he has a bus pass

Intrigued - this was 1995. The senior citizen bus pass did not come into force until much later. Was this a local council benefit in the Yorkshire area?

could have just been a summer wine thing, not thinking of us years later scrutinising every scene of every episode
 
In Full Steam Behind, there's a BBC logo (on the side of a van, I think) visible through the station windows at one point. I guess the film crew had parked everything up around the back!

I noticed that. Maybe you could explain it in the episode that the BBC local news where covering the station opening.
 
The area around Leeds Bradford Huddersfield had a metro pass on buses and trains which was superceded on buses by the national bus pass,trains had a different scheme.
 
Down here in the East Midlands Unc Post box is where we send the letters and a letterbox is where we receive them through the door! Whether it is a slot or a flap is immaterial to most folk ::)

No different up here in Scotland but I did say my comment was intended for our US cousins. They do not have a slot in the door with or without flap but a pucka mailbox outside (which is a box).

In some older houses, built in the 1940's and prior, there were mail slots in the doors.

In the US, often there is a slot in the door in older homes or homes that are built in a Georgian, Edwardian, or Victorian style.
 
Speaking of Cleggy's two things come to mind. One is the "painted" view from the door changes position sometimes and two the "mobile"letterbox! ::)

Speaking of Cleggy's door, there is one show (with Cleggy, Billy Hardcastle, and Truly) where the door suddenly turns into a country door (top half open, bottom half closed) so that Howard can fly a paper airplane from his upstairs window into Cleggy's house.
 
adanour, many episodes show the split door in cleggys house...granted it does change from solid to split but the split door has been used to good effect on many occasions :)
 
The one i have seen a couple of times and the one that comes to mind at the moment, is in the "Ludovic" episode at the end, when the van goes through the gate into the field and comes to a rest, you can see where they have either done a few takes, or else they have been testing the van for stopping at the correct place.
You can see the tyre marks in the mud, before the van gets to them.
I've seen similar things in other episodes.

Metro the local transport organisation Leeds/bradford /Huddersfield had a pass system in operation applicable to their area way before the national pass .
 
Spotted one the other day in "I didn't know Barry could play".
As Wesley, Clegg and Truly pull up at the road junction in the landrover, Barry goes whizzing past on the organ and trailer, just as the landrover pulls out of the junction, you can spot the organ and trailer for a split second, parked at the side of the road, without Barry.
A bit of dodgy editing by Andrew Wilde?

Maybe not a "Mistake". Maybe something we have discussed before which I have forgotten due to massive brain cell annihilation.

Concerning Clegg's and Howard and Pearl's houses, there is very much the thought that they lived side by side. That certainly is the case in the street where they end up part way through Series #12. But was that actually the case prior to that?

Wikipedia states in the summary/notes to "Das Welly Boot":

"From this episode Thereafter, Clegg and Howard move to their new respective homes although still next door neighbours. They would remain there for the rest of the series, til shows End (20 years later)."

Though horribly turgid and grammatically incorrect text, that certainly implies they were next door neighbours before moving. However, I have thought it before and looking carefully at today's "When You take a Good Bite, Yorkshire Tastes Terrible" seemed to have it confirmed that there was another front door between Clegg's and Howard and Pearl's. So they seem to have been next door neighbours but one.
