0:00:13 > 0:00:15Hello, I'm Robert Webb.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Welcome to Great TV Mistakes.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23Over the next half hour, we'll be revealing the worst howlers ever broadcast.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Mistakes my crack team of square-eyed OCD numpties
0:00:26 > 0:00:30refuse to rest until they have managed to show you the foul-ups
0:00:30 > 0:00:32they didn't want you to see.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They meaning them, not you.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Coming up - mistakes from...
0:00:44 > 0:00:45..and many, many more!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49TV shows are a huge investment of time, money and effort,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52but you can spend months and months getting something right,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56hiring the very best actors, camera persons, writers and crew,
0:00:56 > 0:01:01only to have the whole thing ruined by some extra in the background being a tit.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05These people are a menace, wandering in and out of the back of every shot,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09trying to be ordinary members of the public, who are the only things worse than extras.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Nothing causes more trouble on set than members of the public.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I hate them all. Apart from you, obviously.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Some muscle-Mary slow-mo running now from legendary
0:01:23 > 0:01:26beachfront twaddle merchants Baywatch.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30See their toned torsos as they pound along the sand,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33see their hair blown by the gentle Pacific breeze,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36see the kid in the background pulling a moonie.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38That's worth a second look.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Everyone's a critic.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You don't have to. I'm sure you were freaked out.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Totally.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50See this woman with the tartan top?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Now remember her, cos this lady is about to take the art
0:01:53 > 0:01:57of the attention-seeking TV extra to a whole new dimension.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01This is Buffy's high school, and she is presumably the most mature student.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I...think you're the coolest.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07There she is, drawing attention to herself with that big red bag.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Now, spin on. And there she is again, walking in the opposite direction.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16No, she's not. She's over there, walking up some stairs,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20drawing attention to herself like those extras aren't supposed to.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Back for more stair climbing, this time without the bag. Clever.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Still going up the stairs.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Mind you, at least we know where she is. No, we don't.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Buffy, now she's behind you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37"Right, I've had enough of this," said the director. "Get that woman out of my sight.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39"Nobody lets her back on this set."
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Whoa, how did that happen?
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Crafty cow, she's taken off her horrible tartan jacket and given the red bag to someone else.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Damn you, nightmare tartan extra lady!
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Still, the jacket's gone, the bag's gone, and, finally, so is she.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Or not.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Ever get the feeling you're being followed?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05In this episode of Buffy,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09the lovely Eliza Dushku certainly does, and with good reason.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12The winners of the 2002 Most American Couple award
0:03:12 > 0:03:16walk behind her once, which is fine. Nothing wrong there.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19But twice is pushing it.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21That's borderline harassment.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Three times is frankly unacceptable.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30That's a restraining order right there.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34They won't be trying that again... from the same direction.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37For Pete's sake, leave lovely Eliza alone!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41They'll be hiding in that bush outside her house next, and that's mine.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Sex And The City, a show about four single young women.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Well, three young women and the one who plays Samantha.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57But let's rewind and look at those two extras on the left of picture sitting side by side.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Now, spin on and clearly one of them has dropped a massive guff
0:04:01 > 0:04:03because next time we see them,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06they're sitting miles away from each other in separate rows.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Poor Sam. Must have been a pretty serious guff. Someone open a window!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15OK, listen everyone, we've got to get out of here.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Back to the doctor, and here, Mickey is attempting to save
0:04:19 > 0:04:21a room full of headphone-wearing children.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23But they're all zombiefied.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Mickey must have a background in IT cos he resorts to the tried and tested solution
0:04:28 > 0:04:30of just yanking out the plug and hoping for the best.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Magically, it works, and removes the kids' headphones.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39And off they go, trudging out of a doomed building, smirking.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Good work, kids, you're hired.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46This is where I was born.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49And this is where I died.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53More Doctor Who, and Billie's on the bus in contemplative mood.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56The first 19 years of my life, nothing happened.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00But keep your eyes on the extra who sits in the row behind her.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Not ever.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Oh, Billie, come on. Incredible things are happening all around you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07That bloke jumped through time and space
0:05:07 > 0:05:10simply to get a better seat. Pay attention, girl.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18The X-Files, and Scully has a mysterious dead body to investigate.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19In this case,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21the mystery is why they chose
0:05:21 > 0:05:24the most fidgety man in North America to play the corpse.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27See how the faintest prod from Scully makes the big wuss blink.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Not so much dead man's body, more big girl's blouse.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35But just in case anyone missed that, moments later,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39he leaves everyone at home in no doubt that this is just acting
0:05:39 > 0:05:41as Scully unwisely decides to balance
0:05:41 > 0:05:46this heavy plastic ruler on his tummy-wummy. "Ow, it's cold!"
0:05:46 > 0:05:48We've got a breather!
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I love Lost. It's top-notch allegorical surrealist drama
0:05:56 > 0:05:58with a satirical subtext.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Plus, it's got that funny fat bloke with a beard.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Yeah, he's got boobs like a lady.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08In fact, the only problem with this show is that it makes no sense.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11That, and the decision to use an extra with chronic asthma
0:06:11 > 0:06:14to play a corpse and then put him in the front of shot.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Just look at this.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Mind you, that fat bloke's funny. Oh, dear...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I mean, dogs can find pot and bombs so...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Time for more weird goings on in Lost, and look out for the lovely
0:06:36 > 0:06:38couple walking past in the background.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Probably off to catch some fish.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Wish they'd walk past again. Oh, lovely.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48That's the trouble with being marooned on a desert island, nothing to do but walk round in circles.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53This clip from Sex And The City proves that not all New Yorkers
0:06:53 > 0:06:55are used to seeing TV crews.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57This lady simply can't believe her eyes
0:06:57 > 0:07:01and has to peer over her specs to check they aren't deceiving her.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Yes, it's a camera crew.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08But best of all, if we rewind, here comes my personal favourite.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Look at the wonder in her eyes.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13"Thems is some telly people."
0:07:13 > 0:07:18And so ends one deeply unremarkable woman's brief glimpse of celebrity.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Here's another spot from Friends.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Phoebe is returning a dog.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31But look in the background at the neighbour getting out of the car and walking up to her house.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Twice.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Fair play to her, though.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40She's got that whole "neighbour repeatedly walking up to her house" thing down to a tee.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Bad news for 24's Jack Bauer.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46His daughter's been kidnapped
0:07:46 > 0:07:49and the series is suddenly very short-staffed.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Look at this hospital orderly.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54He's here.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He's there.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00He's everywhere.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05If you work in this hospital, you have to be in three places at once.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Just like the NHS.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Dawson's Creek.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Gretchen's about to have a heart-to-heart with Dawson.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14But I'm more concerned
0:08:14 > 0:08:17with the partner-swapping swingers in the background.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Look, first there's an old man and an old woman in a denim jacket.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And a young man in a blue shirt and chinos with a blonde girl.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31Then, moments later, the young man with the blue shirt wanders past again with another woman!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34He just picked her up! What a floozy. But he's not done yet.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Now he's back with the blonde girl and they're heading for the water.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41What's going on? He must have finished with that other woman
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and got back with the first one, which is nice - I liked her.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I'm glad they made up.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Shut up, Dawson! Look, the old fella's back with the older woman.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Thank heavens for that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Aye-aye. There's the younger man with the blonde again, this time
0:08:56 > 0:09:00walking away from the water from the right, heading up the hill.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01What have they been up to?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I don't know, but I'm betting it was rude and watery.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Now, whenever I'm on the telly, which is a lot,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I take great care over my hair and make-up.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's not vanity. It's necessity.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19You see, we need make-up experts to compensate for the "bleaching out" effects
0:09:19 > 0:09:21caused by the powerful lights we use,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25and hair experts to compensate for the "loss of hair" effects
0:09:25 > 0:09:28caused by the powerful hairspray that we use.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33The girls and, what might loosely be described as guys, of the hair and make-up department
0:09:33 > 0:09:36are important, albeit tiny, cogs in the great TV wheel.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I call them my little miracle workers.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42That's because I enjoy patronising my colleagues.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Of course, they too make mistakes.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Mistakes like these.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Someone's locked David Banner
0:09:49 > 0:09:54in this fiendish Oriental torture contraption, which he won't like.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It'll send him all green and hulky.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58He's so excited he's passed out.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Wow, that's what Vin Diesel would look like if you smeared him in mushy peas.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Oh, he's making that solid carbon steel look like plywood, which it is.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Hold up, he's got tights on!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14The Hulk's wearing panty hose to stop his pinkies getting all hurty.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Oh, bless.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's Skins. Young people doing cool things,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25like drugs and snogging, and dribbling ketchup down their chins.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Wow, it's so real.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Hey, that ketchup dribble just changed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Well, I think you're going to like this, Sid.- I'm not. He's re dribbled.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Three dribbles, one chin? Something's got to give.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And, sure enough, now it's gone completely.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Now it's back!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Oh, he's dropped his knife.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Now they've started snogging and, look, the old dribble's back again.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Oh, I'm lost. I'm just lost and so is the make-up department.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Look, I take it back. That's not cool, it's a TV mistake.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04You're looking, aren't you? ALL: No.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Back to Skins, and look, there's Dev Patel
0:11:06 > 0:11:08before he won the Slumdog lottery
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and he's having a wee up that tree.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Did you know, it was his weeing-up-a-tree acting
0:11:14 > 0:11:15that won him the role in the film?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Of course you didn't, because it's not true.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19And neither is this.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Look, the car with the spliffed-up teens rolls into the canal.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28And everyone inside goes into the water apart from Dev.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34But then, in the next scene, Dev is wet through just like the others.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Why is he all wet?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39He didn't go in the water, he was weeing up that tree! You know what?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43I bet he just jumped in the canal to be one of the gang. Cor, teenagers!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45They'll do anything to fit in.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51More Skins now, and more wee-wee.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And the age-old conundrum, how do you do a wee with a stiffy?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Here's Chris calculating a combination of angles
0:11:58 > 0:12:01that even Ronnie O'Sullivan would struggle with.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And, oh, he wees up his own nose
0:12:03 > 0:12:07but when he stands up again, it's all gone.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Now, that is one young man with wonderfully absorbent skin.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16In this next clip, pay attention, if you will,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20to the cute smear of grease on Deborah Messing's cheek.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24That just changed into a completely different smear of grease!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- OK, this is not a problem. - I'll be the judge of that!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yep, there's another.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Now it's the same mark, just a bit darker.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Guess that's why they call it a "to go" cup.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- You OK?- And now it's all smudged.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Hey, you know what they should have called this show, don't you?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Will & Grease. Yeah.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Here's Will from Will & Grace sitting on a sofa.- Surprise!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55He's gay, so he's naked, obviously.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Or is he? Are those flesh-coloured pants I see?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Well, they are flesh-coloured pants, but only if your flesh
0:13:02 > 0:13:04is a sort of deathly greyish white.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Although Eric McCormack wasn't really naked in this scene,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- I can confirm that he did genuinely slam his- BLEEP- in that book.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20A powerful moment from 24. Sorry, did I say powerful?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I meant incomprehensible.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Mum wants troubled teenager to shoot his already dead girlfriend.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Nobody said relationships were easy, especially when one of you's murdered.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35But he's not used to handling a gun, so why not let Mum do it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38There you go. Right in the waist.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Oh, here comes Dad and he's so proud.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45In their strange fictional foreign culture, shooting
0:13:45 > 0:13:50your already dead girlfriend in the belly button is a rite of passage.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Hang on! The bullet wound's moved up to her ribcage. What a brilliant trick.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The reason I'm asking is cos we didn't get the bill.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03It's The Sopranos and Tony's turned up for a chat with Uncle Junior,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04who's been shaving.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Although, as you can see, he's washed all the shaving foam off, apart from that bit near his ear.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- But, spin forward and... whoa! - You've got shaving cream all over you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Where in the name of Don Corleone did all that come from?
0:14:17 > 0:14:23That's what's known in Mafia circles as omerta, which is Italian for "bad continuity error".
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Oh, it's Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32So-called because half the viewers want to see her in the buffy.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Ak-ak-ak-a!
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Here's the slightly lovely Sarah Michelle Gellar facing a hideous ghoul from beyond the grave.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43He's been underground for centuries. He's in a bad way.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Just look at the state of those fingernails.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48They're so bad, one's practically falling off.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50That's because it's a fake!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Buffy The Vampire Slayer's make-up department, I trusted you!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Everybody thinks being a pro is just NBA.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04One Tree Hill and Hayley and Skills
0:15:04 > 0:15:07are having a chat about being from California.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09So when y'all roll through on the world tour,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12we can remember this day, sit back and laugh about it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15He's a bit annoying. Hayley's very pregnant.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Or is she? That's no baby! That's just a cushion shoved up her top!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Some people will do anything to jump the housing queue.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28She's got a tongue like an electric eel
0:15:28 > 0:15:30and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34A classic scene from Blackadder II in which Flashheart storms into
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Edmund's wedding, steals the bride and the scene.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40No-one does upstagery quite like Rik Mayall.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Apart from that fake moustache that's threatening to fall off his face at any moment.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Mmm. Mmm. Of course, a lot of people come up to me and say, "Robert, what is a prop?"
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And I say, "I don't know who you are,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02"but if you don't get out of my bath I'll shoot you down like a dog."
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I'm joking, of course. I don't even own a gun. Or a bath.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09As an actor, I don't need to because I live my life surrounded by props.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11This lamp. This chair.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15This table. Basically, props are just the things we all have in our homes,
0:16:15 > 0:16:21except in our case, they really are our property rather than stuff you've got on credit.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Unfortunately, this doesn't make them any less likely to cause trouble.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Band Of Brothers and this soldier is looking concerned.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33He's seen the next scene.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38A stealth raid across a river and an elementary mistake from the soldier in the foreground.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Did you spot it?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's go back and have another look.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45He's rowing with no oar.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Which, I suppose, will at least make their approach much, much quieter.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53But, and I'm no military expert, much, much slower.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Hannah Montana, that little singing sensation.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The sensation being nausea.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08But get a load of this continuity howler as wacky goofball Jackson
0:17:08 > 0:17:09walks into his room.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12He pats the muscle man standee.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Grabs his towel. And suddenly the muscle man's behind the door.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's a good thing I straightened up.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23But not now. Whoops, Hannah's going to be furious about that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27She'll probably throw a pop sock at the director. A rolled-up one.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32To be fair to the makers of 24,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35they only have one day to make each series.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38And that's with no sleep at all. It's like being a junior doctor,
0:17:38 > 0:17:39but with a lower body count.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Here's Jack in rare stand-easy mode.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- We're resuming our approach. Good work.- Cheers, Jack.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Time to sheath that dangerous weapon in your bottom holster.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52But fast forward a few seconds, and, crikey,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Jack's now so relaxed he's putting his gun away again.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01It's either another TV gaffe, or that young man has got two guns hidden in his pants.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07If, like me, you're a fan of scenes where actors mistakenly
0:18:07 > 0:18:09put their pistols away twice,
0:18:09 > 0:18:14then you'll love this clip from the soon-to-be-remade Hawaii Five-O.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16The team are at a tense siege situation
0:18:16 > 0:18:19but nothing gets in the way of Steve McGarrett's tea break.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23So, at ease, Lieutenant. You can put your gun back in your holster.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25No need for firearms at elevenses.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I wonder if you can use a bucket like that to build sandcastles.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Anyway, here he comes and there goes the gun again.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Back in the holster for a second time. Now, who's brought the thermos?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43A tense game of chess in the X-Files
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and a moody Russian is taking on an American kid in specs.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Textbook.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Checkmate.- Suddenly, the Russian is shot by an assassin
0:18:55 > 0:18:59and falls onto the floor, dragging the chess board with him.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Except in the next shot, it's clearly on the table.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08They managed the logistical nightmare of filling this auditorium with about 5,000 people,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12but couldn't cope with one bit of elementary prop continuity.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15The truth is out there. The incompetence is in here!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Have you ever been to the Louvre? - No, not yet.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Bones. A series about forensics.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23A branch of medical science
0:19:23 > 0:19:28that's all about detail. So how come they missed this clanger?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Here's a patronising little girl... - What you do is pretty awesome...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33..who's diagnosed with smugness.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36She's also an agent of TV mistakery.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41When she hands over her sketch, it's a small drawing in the centre of the page.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46But when the doctor looks at it, it's gone all big! But nobody notices.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The character dies, though, so all's well that ends well.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52An ice hockey game
0:19:52 > 0:19:55and Ross from Friends has got one of those big foam fingers.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Of course, this is New York and seconds later, it's gone.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Someone's nicked it. It's a rough town.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07My eye doctor is Richard. I can't go to him when I don't have a boyfriend.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Oh, poor Monica. As if it's not bad enough having something in your eye,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14she can't even watch TV because it's all switched off.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Although, moments later...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19my mistake! It's on. No-one's even watching it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's not very green.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Can I bum a cigarette?
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Feel those hormones as bad boy meets annoying girl in The OC.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Blimey, they're smoking in California, which is practically a shooting offence.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Luckily, Ryan is smoking one of the special cigarettes,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40you know, the ones that burn down to a butt in half a second.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Long ciggy. Tiny ciggy.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45To think, I used to love The OC!
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Elsewhere in The OC, is Ben going to commit suicide
0:20:52 > 0:20:54before Ryan and Marissa can get to him?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59He's emptying all his pills onto the table.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01And mixing them up. But, whoa!
0:21:01 > 0:21:05In an instant, they've sorted themselves into colour-coded piles.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Or, at least, an inattentive member of the production team has.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Ben's made up. He's forgotten all about suicide.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15He's just going to bung them in with his grandfather's ashes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Job done.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Oh, dear. After having one or maybe 12 too many tequilas, Marissa
0:21:25 > 0:21:30from The OC, leaves her handbag at the bar. And staggers outside.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Ryan and the others are scouring the streets for her.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39But tiddly Marissa is now spark out in this alley, legless, and, of course, bagless.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Then, Ryan and the others turn up.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48He spots her and bagless races down the alley and kneels beside her with the bag in his hand.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Either that's a mistake, or everyone in Orange County has the same handbag.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well, they're a funny lot in California.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03More continuity malfunctions on the holodeck for Captain Picard.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07The 1920s news vendor hands over the paper folded.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10But Pickard takes it unfolded.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15A small mistake but even in a holographic past, a tiny error like that could have changed the future.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18If so, let's hope next time there'll be less Star Trek.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22A clip from Heroes now.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26A strange group of people all with bizarre superpowers.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Watch how these two
0:22:27 > 0:22:30find a mysterious key that's wrapped in sticky tape.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33About half a second later, it's suddenly unwrapped.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34He's got super fingers.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No wonder she looks pleased.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40I'm their hero.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42More prop-related cockuppery
0:22:42 > 0:22:47as Hiro appears with his samurai sword pointing backwards.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And, a moment later, stands with it pointing forwards.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52A handy mistake, though.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Otherwise he would have stabbed him with the blunt end,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and that would almost certainly have been less dramatic.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It's a blueprint.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07How does Grace from Will & Grace take her coffee?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Always black. Sometimes with a stick in her hand.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12And sometimes with a tiny carton of milk.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17But always in a urine sample jar.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20And he's obviously very fond of you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25A clip now from madcap sitcom, Absolutely Fabulous.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Or as you know it, Ab Fab.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Or, as I know it, AaFa. But, surely, no-one knows what is going on
0:23:31 > 0:23:34with Miranda Richardson's glass.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Witchcraft. Pure and simple.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Back in my day, she'd have got the ducking stool for that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's US comedy drama Weeds.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49And Nancy's just found out that her late husband was cheating on her.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Yeah, that might not be covered under the contents insurance.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Not much comedy here. This is one of the more drama-y moments.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58But see all the stuff on the table?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Watch what happens as her son walks outside.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Yep, it's all gone empty.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I reckon the kid was a decoy. His mates have nicked the lot.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09So, actually, that probably will be covered.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I suppose I just fall in love too fast.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Here are Niles and Daphne sharing an intimate fireside moment.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23According to that carriage clock, the time is 11:15pm.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Only, moments later, we see the clock again and now it's 11:45pm.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33And 10:55pm.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35And 11:20pm.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40And 10:59pm. Frasier is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43At least they were when they started recording this scene four days ago.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47You two have proved yourselves
0:24:47 > 0:24:50to be just as talented as one another at karaoke.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- By which, I mean you're equally- BLEEP.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It's Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01A show which has split the critics into those who hate it, and those who don't like it much.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04This episode is great because it's all about magazine competitions.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10Mind you, if there's one thing I love more than competitions, it's "competions".
0:25:10 > 0:25:14By the way, that's the new issue of Dyslexic Monthly.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- May as well give up now. - I would if I were you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Now, I admit I don't know a lot about How I Met Your Mother.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Other than this guy is called Ted and that when he pays a visit
0:25:27 > 0:25:31to a lady, he doesn't bring a bottle, he brings veg.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Wilted veg in a creased-up paper bag. Sexy blighter.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37But guess who also carries a steam iron in his Y fronts?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40That bag's now suddenly smooth.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Looks like a baby's bottom. A papery baby with vegetables for a head.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- That's the stupidest thing I've ever said.- Me too.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Of all the classic moments in The Office,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54this is Ricky Gervais' personal favourite.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Whassup?- Don't do that. - Gareth's holding a briefcase
0:25:57 > 0:25:59in his right hand, the paper in his left, but, look!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Now the briefcase is in his left hand, and the paper is in his right!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06That's a TV Mistakes Golden Globe right there!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Friends. Series eight.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18Sorry, SEASON eight. And Monica starts to tear open this present.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20She's finished. It's open.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Ssh. The guys don't know yet. Do they?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- No.- No, she's wrapped it up again.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29And opened it again.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31And wrapped it up.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And opened it again. Oh, for God's sake, woman, make your mind up!
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Poor Ross has clonked his head,
0:26:38 > 0:26:42so Rachel is administering a comedy ice pack because she wuvs him.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46We ripped that couple apart and kept the pieces for ourselves.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Wuvs him not. - What a beautiful story.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Wuvs him. A small error, perhaps,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55but as rudimentary errors go, that was a blinder.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Tony.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Here's Nicholas Hoult as Tony in Skins,
0:27:02 > 0:27:03who's learning how to write.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07He's written "Tony". He's written his name. Well done, Tony.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Although if we spin forward...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13that doesn't say "Tony", it says "Tohy".
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Let's see the first one again.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18And the second one.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Now both together.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I might be wrong, but I think that's a different piece of paper
0:27:23 > 0:27:26with the word "Tony" written by a different person.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The props department are trying to make you look stupid, Tony. I mean, Tohy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Well, there it is, TV's Greatest Mistakes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39I'd just like to say thanks to all the people involved tonight
0:27:39 > 0:27:41for being so very sloppy in your chosen careers.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It's a good job it's just telly and nothing of any importance,
0:27:45 > 0:27:50because if this had been a paper round or a Saturday job in a burger bar, you'd have been fired. Bye-bye.
