0:00:13 > 0:00:15Hello, I'm Robert Webb.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Welcome to Great TV Mistakes.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Over the next half hour, we'll be revealing the worst howlers ever broadcast.
0:00:22 > 0:00:27Mistakes my crack team of square-eyed OCD numpties refuse to rest
0:00:27 > 0:00:32until THEY have managed to show YOU the foul-ups THEY didn't want YOU to see.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They meaning them, not you.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Coming up - mistakes from:
0:00:44 > 0:00:45..and many more!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50To misquote the great Salt-N-Pepa, let's talk about sets.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57Set designers do an incredible job, and I hate to spoil the magic of television, but sometimes what
0:00:57 > 0:01:03appears to be real is actually made of elaborately painted wood, much like Amanda Holden's face.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06This wall behind me, that's not brick, that's papier mache,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09expertly knocked together by the Great TV Mistakes set designers.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Trust me, there's nothing we in television can't convincingly recreate.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The inside of the White House, the outside of a spaceship,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19even an entire 15th century English village.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Everything, in fact, except Daphne in Frasier's Mancunian accent,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And all of these shocking set-related howlers.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hey, Magnum's in Friends.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Look at the size of the bloke. They're having to widen the shot just to squeeze him in.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36A bit too wide, if you ask me.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42That is the edge of the set. Unless there's always been an enormous hole in Joey and Chandler's wall.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45In which case, why does everyone still use the door?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Well, we had a table in college.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Filming historical storylines is always a challenge.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Take this episode of Doctor Who, set in Victorian London with Charles Dickens and some zombies.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04But forget about them, because that is an electric light switch.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Edison didn't test the first light bulb until nine years after Charles Dickens' death.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11If that isn't a mistake, my name isn't Robert Webb.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Which it is.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24It's Doctor Who, '70s-style. And problems with the TARDIS have forced him to get these alien builders in.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29See the alien builder on the left, keep your eyes on his feet.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31D'oh! That's torn it, literally.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Light, too much light!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yep, he's got his space boat caught under the Axminster. You idiot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43I know what you're thinking, how's he going to get his foot out from under the carpet?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Pick it up or just kick the carpet out of the way?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50And he... Yeah, he just kicks it out of the way. Nice one.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Goddamn alien cowboy builders!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57The IT Crowd, and Jen's up on the top floor.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I feel like I'm on top of the world.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Well, the top floor anyway, which is...
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Floor 34.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Yes, floor 34.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- OK, where am I going? - All the way down to the basement.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15From floor 34. But, hang on.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18That lift's only got 31 buttons, meaning there's only 31 floors.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20This doesn't make any sense.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24I'm beginning to think these people don't take their pretend lift buttons seriously.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30A brilliantly silly sequence from Wonder Woman now,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32starring killer ape Gargantua
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and this bloke in specs, who kicks off a classic dust-up
0:03:36 > 0:03:40by throwing a balsawood coffee table like a massive girl.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46Then, after some more "acting", he goes running for the door and that large red emergency button.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52Gargantua throws a poorly constructed dummy across the room and, hey, it's a military rozzer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57He tries to press the button, misses it, but it goes off anyway. He's out of the game.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00But here comes his mate, who's elderly.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02He ignores the emergency button, cos it's not there any more,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06and bounces off Gargantua like a septuagenarian pinball.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Yes, there was an error there but I'll be damned if I could spot it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Here's pathologist turned serial killer, Dexter,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18examining a dead body. Now, hold it there.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Time check. 11 minutes past 4.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And play.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Dexter takes a quick shufti at the cadaver.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28And hold again. Ooh, it's 4:17.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30That little look took six minutes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Doesn't time fly when you're sniffing at a corpse?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Here's Lucy Lawless as Xena
0:04:40 > 0:04:43in the best fighting form of her life, taking on baddie Deiphobus
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Go, Xena! She's hard as a rock.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48In fact, much harder than a rock.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Especially THAT rock. Boing!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Doing!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Hmm, did they have foam in ancient Greece?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Remember the time that you almost drowned...
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Now, I don't want to suggest that they knocked some of these sets up in an afternoon,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11cos often they don't have that long, but there is something a bit crap about this clip from Xena,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15in which we see a Greek fortress, which history tells us were made of stone.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Stone, that geology tells us isn't known for its wobbly properties.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24But look, over he goes, with a wibble and a wobble and a half pipe twist
0:05:24 > 0:05:28that gymnastics tells us is an 8.5. I bet you can't do that again.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Wibble wobble, wibble wobble. Oh, he can.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39That was the one I was trying to get a look at, not that Australian hayseed.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42All's not well at Fawlty Towers, for a change.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Try as he might, Basil just can't get through to wife Sybil, for a change.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51She's so annoyed and slams the door, along with half the wall.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55That is some very unstable brickwork. Will somebody please call a builder?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58And not Mr O'Reilly. Little joke for the fans there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07Just in case you're not one, O'Reilly is Basil's regular builder, very cheap and less than competent.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Look, he's blocked up the door to the dining room, blocked solid.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, not entirely.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18No one puts up a wobblier wall than Basil Fawlty's builder.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Apart from a BBC set designer.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Sometimes not even a cheap set can ruin a scene, if the scene is a classic.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Basil's trying to catch one of the guests with a girl in his room but he's got the wrong window.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Keep your eyes on the pane of "glass".
0:06:37 > 0:06:42It's plastic. And smeary, scratched plastic at that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47All in all, a gold star for BBC comedy and a brown smear for programme finance.
0:06:49 > 0:06:56It's Blackadder II, and Queenie and Edmund are staking a wager with Lord Melchett.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Namely, how long can Stephen Fry last before going "Behhh"?
0:07:00 > 0:07:07Watch what happens when Rowan waltzes out and, in his own words, the wall goes wibble.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I know what Stephen Fry would have said if he had seen that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11"Behhhhh!"
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Where have you been? - Where haven't I been? Woof!
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Blackadder was a studio show, so you'd expect the build quality of the sets to be a bit dodgy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24As we know, that's just part of British sitcom law,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26although in the case of these doors,
0:07:26 > 0:07:31surely even balsawood would have been a better choice than polystyrene.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Will Smith is living it up in his uncle's mansion, a cardboard mansion.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Boom, shake the room!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I hope that's not a supporting wall.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Right, they leave me no choice.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55A classic Thunderbirds car chase.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Watch what happens when the baddies' car spins off the road.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Timber!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Either the biggest squirrel in the world is in those trees
0:08:04 > 0:08:06or the set guy just ran out of glue.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I think he makes half of it up.
0:08:10 > 0:08:17Doctor Who's been on the telly for 47 years and 42 of those have been spent in corridors.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21That's because corridors are cheap and impossible to get wrong, mostly.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Freeze the shot.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Notice the sign on the left for Torchwood.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Now, spin forward, and it's Billie's turn to try and fill some airtime.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34That's it, Billie, create a bit of tension. Keep the dads watching.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36And look at that.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41The sign's gone all bigger with loads of added signery that just wasn't there a moment ago.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48"Will the set designer please report to base, where an arse-kicking is waiting? Thank you."
0:08:53 > 0:08:56You think you can kill a cop and get away with it?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Why not? I've done it before.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Star Trek: The Next Generation,
0:09:00 > 0:09:06and Captain Picard and Data have got all mixed up with some '30s gangster types on the holodeck.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Meanwhile, outside in the corridor, we can clearly see there's
0:09:11 > 0:09:15absolutely no second corridor leading off to the side.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Except when the gangsters step outside, there is.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23In space, no-one can hear you scream, "That was rubbish!"
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- It's not going to work. - Excellent, John, you're evolving.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Here's one for fans of Lost, assuming there are any left.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38In this scene, Locke is required to throw a plastic tray at a stone wall,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42but see how the plastic tray makes the stone wall tremble.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Normally, I'd say that was a TV mistake but this is Lost,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51so you know, anything's possible. I blame the polar bears.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Hi, just so you know, we didn't mean...
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Back to Friends, which was, of course, always filmed in front of
0:10:00 > 0:10:03a live studio audience, and a very wobbly set.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Hmm, about as convincing as that bloke's beard.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Merry Christmas!
0:10:11 > 0:10:16This is an episode of Friends called The One With The Self-Opening Door.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh God, you're the best!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Door closed...
0:10:21 > 0:10:29Door open. If that isn't final proof of the existence of the supernatural, I don't know what is.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Ronnie Barker in the excellent Porridge and the inmates of Slade are out
0:10:37 > 0:10:41for the day, under the supervision of Mr Barraclough in an old church.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Well, the outside bits were filmed in an old church, but the interiors certainly weren't.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Want proof? Just look what happens when Melvyn leans on a column.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56Yes, it wobbles in a way that most Saxon stonework just doesn't.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07TV is divided into on and off-screen talent. And for good reason.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'm on-screen talent, because I'm beautiful and incredibly clever.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13The camera people, make-up assistants and wardrobe -
0:11:13 > 0:11:17flunkies, are off-screen talent, because they're ugly.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Trust me, you do not want to see these people.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm facing some of them right now and just looking at them is giving me such violent
0:11:23 > 0:11:26stomach cramps it's a wonder I don't vomit all over the camera.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So, hold on to your lunches, cos our first set of clips are
0:11:29 > 0:11:34littered with off-screen bods making fleeting on-screen appearances.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Not so much in a knowing, ironic, Alfred Hitchcock kind of a way, more a sort of "Oi, bacon-face, shift!"
0:11:40 > 0:11:42sort of a way. Eww...
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Hey, look, those crafty ancient Greeks are attacking Troy
0:11:47 > 0:11:52after sneaking into the city in the belly of the Trojan horse.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54There they are, in their rubber helmets.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59But, according to this episode of Xena, they weren't alone.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01It's your job to fight her first.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Oh, no, cos also stowed away in the horse's bumhole was...
0:12:05 > 0:12:09This bloke! There he is, squatting on the battlements. You numpty.
0:12:11 > 0:12:18Here's Sarah Michelle Gellar walking through a creepy wood late at night.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Careful, Buffy, watch out for vampires!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, my God, what's that?!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's a monster with a huge...!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Microphone. Oh dear, it's the boom operator.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Thunderbirds, and ignore this foreign baddie.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Damn those Welsh Iraqi pilots.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43Watch Tintin, held in the vice-like grip of this serial killer turned puppeteer.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47His nails aren't normally that dirty, he'd just finished burying another body.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51So what did you do that made Dad cut you off?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53OK, team, no clues.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57See if you can spot the mistake in this clip from Friends.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Yeah, but it wasn't for me, it was for a friend.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Boy, did we make friends with the wrong sister.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07You missed it, didn't you? Forget the pretty actors, look at the pretty cameraman.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10It's amazing what you miss when you're laughing. And when you're not.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's gourmet night at Fawlty Towers and a very funny scene featuring
0:13:18 > 0:13:22a fine example of the easily missable TV mistake.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Missed it, didn't you? Here it is again.
0:13:25 > 0:13:32This time, forget the action and concentrate on the BBC techie bloke squatting behind the double doors.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36A classic mistake from a classic comedy that just got funnier with age.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39If only the same could be said for John Cleese.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40I mean, look at that!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Can I help? - Yes, go and kill yourself!
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Sam and Dean from Supernatural are having trouble with a couple of amateur ghost hunters.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Question is, what's behind that door?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Guys, you want to go open that door for us?
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Everyone's terrified and armed to the teeth - must be the Jehovah's Witnesses.
0:14:03 > 0:14:09It's a ghost, or at least a ghost who can be hurt by bullets.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I can't decide what's worse about this clip, the ghost who's afraid of bullets
0:14:13 > 0:14:16or the cameraman who doesn't know where to stand.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Hmm, it's the cameraman.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Its Charmed, the series about a bunch of friendly witches. Or am I thinking of Loose Women?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Anyway, ignore this trespasser and instead feast your eyes on
0:14:31 > 0:14:35the director sitting in the next room listening to his iPod.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40You're supposed to sit behind the camera, not in front of the pointy end. See that book?
0:14:40 > 0:14:45As soon as they turn the camera off, they're going to hit him with that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51It's Doctor Who from 1975, back when children everywhere could
0:14:51 > 0:14:54be found hiding behind the sofa, avoiding gaffes like this.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Keep your eyes on the baddie's bottom, or rather what's under it.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59- I can move!- Oh, dear.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07That floor assistant's thinking "If I move my hand away slowly, no-one will see a thing."
0:15:07 > 0:15:08But we did.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Here's Blackadder staging an elaborate con trick, but not the one
0:15:15 > 0:15:19where he gets massive laughs from repeatedly saying the word "Bob."
0:15:19 > 0:15:21No, he's pretending he's built a time machine.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Of course, it's not real, and you can tell, cos it's made of wood
0:15:25 > 0:15:31and bits of old junk and requires one of the crew to push the door shut.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Well done, Balders, this is very impressive.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37The maybe of Mike Delphino.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42It's Desperate Housewives, and Susan's just broken into a neighbour's house
0:15:42 > 0:15:48to return a Pyrex jug, but finds time to take a moment alone with just her thoughts for company.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52And that bloke crawling behind the sofa.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yes, it's the guy who just set fire to the curtains,
0:15:55 > 0:16:00whose idea of keeping out of shot is crawling across the screen on his hands and knees.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Wait for it. You're... Fired!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Ha-ha! Sorry.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Here's a clip from Scrubs, the American sitcom set in a hospital.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16It's a bit like Casualty but with fewer laughs.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Here, Dr Turk is about to bite into a sarnie when all of a sudden, there's an emergency.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Thankfully, someone's there to lend a hand.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26That's either a member of the crew holding the door open
0:16:26 > 0:16:28or one of the patients has fallen out of bed again.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Make those dreams happen.- Yes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35You can always tell when a TV series is working,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39cos everyone on screen looks like they're really enjoying themselves.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Take Arrested Development, a show which is obviously so much fun
0:16:43 > 0:16:47even the crew like to get on, just once... Boo!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Or twice. Boo!
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- An emotional farewell scene in Lost as Charlie says goodbye to Hurley. - That's uncool, man.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03But for once, try to keep your eyes off the unfolding drama and Hurley's boobs,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07and on the cameraman clearly visible to the left of shot.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12You can see his sandals, his camera and if you really squint, his P45.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Wait!
0:17:16 > 0:17:20It's 24, and everything, as always, is very, very tense.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23A tense Tony is ignoring a call from a tense Nina.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Come on, Sammy, pick up.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Unbeknown to tense Nina, there's someone else in the barn with her.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31And here he comes, wandering in from the right.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34A cameraman.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38And if you want to know how he's feeling, I'll tell you. Tense.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Whenever there's a conversation about the world's hardest jobs,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49the same professions come up time and time again.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Trauma surgeon, soldier, air traffic controller, and of course, actor.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58And out of these jobs, actor is surely the hardest.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Actors do a very difficult job.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03If we're not learning lines, then we're signing autographs or doing
0:18:03 > 0:18:06stuff for free with wonky kids, we're having to stand up in front
0:18:06 > 0:18:11of loads of strangers and say words that sometimes we don't even understand.
0:18:11 > 0:18:18Consequently, every now and again, through no fault of our own, stuff does go a bit wrong.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'm sorry, the party got a little out of hand.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24People your age, they have finished college...
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Oh, the poor little rich girls of The OC.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Here's Hayley, tidying up after another crazy party.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Well, I say tidying up, but what Amanda Rugetti is actually doing
0:18:36 > 0:18:39is picking up tiny pieces of invisible rubbish.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Look, she's dropping little bits of air into that bin bag.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47That, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call method acting...
0:18:47 > 0:18:51if your method is piss-poor.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53You know, this scene was filmed eight years ago
0:18:53 > 0:18:57but unsurprisingly, she only finished tidying the room last Thursday.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Oh, we're back in The OC
0:18:59 > 0:19:03and here comes Mischa Barton, sulking her way into the room.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06"Nuh, nuh, nuh, I'm Mischa Barton."
0:19:06 > 0:19:11And she dumps her jacket down on the right, and then moments later,
0:19:11 > 0:19:12there it is on the left.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15That's not going to improve her mood.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21To Albert Square and that live anniversary episode.
0:19:21 > 0:19:28And Stace and Bradley are talkin' abaht fings with Max and Scott when Scott forgets his lines.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32You held the fact from the pl... Look, it's a motive, you've held it against the public...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Look, we all have... - Well, I'll explain that.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- Oh, dear, no retakes here. This is live. - Found out what she, what...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, he's gone again. Oh, tricky business, this live telly.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Bless him. I'd leave it, Scott, it ain't worth it!
0:19:47 > 0:19:52It's a classic Phil-Mitchell-in-a-rage scene and Ian's on the receiving end.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54But when you want someone to cease doing something, what do you say?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Is it A, stop, or B, slop?
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Slop.- What?- Slop. - I'll give you one more guess.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Slop.- I'm sorry, Ian, the answer I was looking for was A, stop.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Received and acknowledged, sir. Picard out.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Jean Luc Picard, ever the stern- faced model of professionalism.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22Except when he goes through the turbo lift doors and has a quick girn. You missed it, didn't you?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Don't worry, here it is again.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30He just boldly girned where no man has girned before.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38In this clip from Buffy, fiendish but foxy teacher Miss French is making herself a sandwich.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41She's a sucker for fresh ingredients.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I think I had one of those myself from a motorway services.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46But there's something very wrong here.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Besides a lady chewing live insects.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54Because when she starts eating, her sleeves are up, then she opens the box, her sleeves are down.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56And finally, they're back up again.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Add to that the insect sandwich and all the vampire business and you've
0:21:00 > 0:21:03got a scene that's more disturbing than Andrew Lloyd Webber's smile.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- More odd goings on in Buffy. - The werewolf!
0:21:09 > 0:21:14A werewolf has gone AWOL and they need to find him/it quickly.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16But Giles isn't wearing his glasses.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Oh, he is. Problem solved.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Problem unsolved! And solved again.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I think we're sorted. That werewolf is history. My mistake! The glasses are.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Grey's Anatomy and Patrick Dempsey takes his earphones out cos he's
0:21:32 > 0:21:34being talked at by a lady.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- But he pretends he still can't hear her anyway.- Am I invisible? I'm feeling strangely invisible.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- Also inaudible. - What?- And who can blame him, she really is banging on.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- So I guess dinner shopping is out? - Yeah.- Might as well wrap the headphones up.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Sorry.- You're not. I'm just trying to figure out why you're not.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53And up. A very long wire.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56And put them away.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59D'oh! Hang on, they're still round his neck.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Unless that's his spare set.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Pat, there's only so much Peter Andre a man can listen to.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14When it comes to bad dead acting, you'd have to go back a long way to find a poorer example than this.
0:22:14 > 0:22:21Centuries back, to be precise. In this clip from Xena, everyone thinks the great warrior princess is dead.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Though quite why is anyone's guess.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28Clue one, blood is still coursing through her jugular ten to the dozen.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Clue two, in a moment, she clearly blinks.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33And clue three, this is season one.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- There's another five series of this rubbish. - We've got to get out of here.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yes, no, no, I did not book this one.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47This clip from Arrested Development will delight fans of continuity errors and flowers alike.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53There's the vicious and sexy Lindsey, who's just got back with some shopping.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57We see her take out this bunch of posies and put them on the counter.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So far so good. Jason Bateman does some talking.
0:23:00 > 0:23:07Back to Linds and this enormous vase that she's about to dump the flowers into. When...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09They're suddenly back in the bag again.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15Yeah, that is a TV mistake and I'll be honest, I'm disappointed by that.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16And so's he.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Band of Brothers, and Sergeant Major Schwimmer is furious with one of his soldiers.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Christiansen, why is there no water in your canteen?!
0:23:31 > 0:23:37It's not just about the water. Look, this soldier's gun keeps jumping from one shoulder to the other.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39There it is on the right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- And there it is on the left. - You will repeat all 12 miles...!
0:23:42 > 0:23:46And back again. That's dangerous with a loaded weapon.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51He was a good man, your father.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Here's Uncle Junior in The Sopranos and he's hopping mad.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59He must have lost the remote or worse, forgot to tape Minder.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05Whatever, it's made him so angry that his glasses momentarily disappear.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Just don't anyone tell him he accidentally put a red sock in with the whites.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Kate must have a tiny vagina.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Here we are in that city where there's all that sex.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And the girls are in the khazi doing lady things.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Sometimes you just know.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23With the right match, it's fate.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Sarah Jessica Parker's sorting her hair out.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32She's tying it out in a scrunchie, but that's SJP hair, so it'll need special restraints.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36So she straps it down twice with the same scrunchie.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38But spin on, cos it was all worth it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Now she looks lovely
0:24:39 > 0:24:43and not at all like a Yorkshire terrier with a Croydon facelift. Super.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Oh, look, it's only 10. How nice.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- There's no coffee.- The Gilmore Girls, and Lorelai is chatting to
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Luke as he tries to fix a toaster by shoving a screwdriver into it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57In a minute, he's going to try and fix the waste disposal
0:24:57 > 0:24:59by sticking his winkie into it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03See how he goes to get coffee, leaving the screwdriver in the hole,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and when he returns, screwdriver gone.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Oh, there it is by the side of the toaster.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Right, where's that waste disposal?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Here's Sam and here's his brother, Dean.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Ignore the girl. The ghostbusting siblings from Supernatural.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Dean is played by an actor called Jenson - ignore the girl - and Sam by an actor called Jared.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Are we all clear? Dean is played by Jenson and Sam is played by Jared.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36How do I know? Well, in this scene, when they're all meant to be acting,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Dean doesn't call Sam "Sam", he calls him Jared.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Jared, check it out.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Yeah, "Jared, check it out.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45"I just ballsed up the scene by calling you by your real name."
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Yes, more dumbarsery from the Brothers Grimm.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56In this scene, they're supposed to be acting all angry cos they've just been outwitted by this lady.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Although, I reckon a pigeon could outwit these two.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Anyway, the script might be calling for fury but all Jared can manage is a poorly concealed snigger.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12- Son of a bitch!- Remember, this was presumably the best take, the one they actually used.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Makes you wonder how bad the others were. He probably weed himself.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22Pride and Prejudice, and I've got to say, Jennifer Ehle makes playing the piano look effortless.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Colin's Impressed. He always uses his fingers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Not Jen, though, her hands and arms are barely moving.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Do you know, I think she's miming.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- I know you find great enjoyment in professing opinions which are not your own.- And in miming.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Either that or she's just brilliant at playing the piano.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It's the first thing though, isn't it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Generous of him, is it not?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46What do you think about this?
0:26:46 > 0:26:52Here's Tasha and Troy, surely two of Star Trek: The Next Generation's least favourite characters.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- It's not for you.- Tasha is covered in scarves. Fast forward but they're
0:26:56 > 0:27:01made from some weird futuristic space fabric which just disappears.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Never mind.- Oh, but I do mind.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06They're scarves, Jim, but not as we know it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13They don't half have some trouble with bag straps in Six Feet Under, and props in general.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Just watch these two.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So, who do you think plays Parker in the movie of her life?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Sandy Bullock or Julia Roberts?
0:27:21 > 0:27:27They both pull their rucksacks on twice and she loses her water bottle.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30They're just not taking this camping thing seriously.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Anyway, I just wanted to say how wonderful...- Back to Friends, and a special guest appearance
0:27:36 > 0:27:43by Susan Sarandon, the thinking person's MILF, playing a hard- drinking, chain-smoking actress.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Ever the pro, Susan manages to cram both into this scene.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Chain-smoker.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Hard drinker.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Chain-smoker.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I hope my fingers are than nimble when I'm 80.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, there it is, TV's Greatest Mistakes.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'd just like to say thanks to all the people involved tonight
0:28:03 > 0:28:06for being so very sloppy in your chosen careers.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09It's a good job it's just telly and nothing of any importance
0:28:09 > 0:28:13because if this had been a paper round or a Saturday job in a burger bar, you'd have been fired.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Bye-bye.
