AYBS? Bloopers !!!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Since we are such die hard fans of the show, it's within our rights to critic the boo-boo's on it. Can you recall some of the mistakes the show had on it ??????

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'll start this one off with the very first blooper I reacall.....

From the Pilot Eppy, when Lucas and Brahms are carrying the dummy out, the dummys head was face up. When they get to the floor and discover the dummys head is stuck in the lift door, Lucas goes to retrieve it. Then we find that the dummys head is face down......

[sonosun]

Good One Mr WibbyWobbly I detect a slight blooper in your screen name as well :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:roll: Oh no !!! Different board, same sarcy comments !!!!!!!

[frankdicer]

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I am dying to see if anyone ever caught this..


You know how whenever Mrs. Slocombe has a sight-gag its almost sure to
involve a peak at her bloomers? Welll....

In the episode where the queen may come into the store,

The staff rehearses for the event with Ms. Slocombe and Cptn Peacock
playing the royal couple.....
During that scene, Mr. Harmon jerks the red carpet out from under the
faux-royals while they are on the stairs.....
Mrs. Slocombe does a prat fall, legs in the air and all, but surprise, surprise
and wonder of wonders,.......no sign of knickers anywhere!!!!!

Am I just dreaming?

[mrsslocombe]

I know the ladies and gents departments changed floors a couple of times too.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I've never noticed this but now I'm taking it upon myslef to do some homework tonight and see if I can see Mrs. Slocombes lack of knickers !!!http://lordgreg.minki.net/lol.gif

[Tiddles]

My favorite personal discovery, and blooper, was the shocking revelation that Mike Berry's FLY IS OPEN and his shirt tail's poking out from it in one scene in "Friends and Neighbors." They do nothing to cover it up and obviously never bothered to re-shoot the scene.

:o :lol: :o :lol:

Ah, that British humor!!!! and what about Ms. Brahms in the same episode...
in her struggle with the bean bag chair, her knickers are displayed quite
a bit..

[sonosun]

Light blue too weren't they? Not that I really noticed.

[DuranFan]

Sure you didn't notice Sonosun! :wink:

Yeah I took notice of that one too :oops:

Here it is !!!!!!

DuraFan and Sonosun.....
But did you use Zoom and watch it frame by frame?.....more than once?

[Old Mr. Grace]

In "Diamonds Are a Man's Best Friend" the wealthy lady customer buys a pair of gloves. Mr. Lucas puts them in a small shopping bag and places the bag directly in front of the lady. But once the lady notices that her diamond is missing, she leaves the store without taking the gloves she bought.

[sonosun]

she leaves the store without taking the gloves she bought.

I hadn't noticed that one. I think I could watch more carefully from now on.

[Very Young Mr Grace]

I'm not sure if these are bloopers or not, but they amuse me each time I see them.

In the canteen during the "No Sale" episode, Mr. Humphries is asked if he liked his Queen Pudding. He commented "It's not living up to expectations." If you look closely at Mr. Grainger it looks as if he's about to crack up. He has that wide grin on his face. :D

Also in that same episode, Mr. Lucas is trying to lift the sales figures from Rumbold's office. Just as Mr. Lucas finds the figures, Rumbold's telephone rings. Rumbold walks in and Mr. Lucas, looking for an excuse, says "I came in to answer your phone." A good 20 seconds of dialogue takes place, after which Mr. Lucas finally answers the phone; however, it never rang during those 20 seconds of dialogue, it only rang once at the beginning.

[sonosun]

I noticed those as well.

I hate that one myself... Good eye VYMG !!!!!

[Old Mr. Grace]

Speaking of telephones, I've noticed in several episodes that the phone cord on Young Mr. Grace's telephone looks like a piece of rope. There's one epsidode ("Top Hat and Tails" I think) where Mr. Rumbold and YMG are talking to each other on the phone, and it is obvious that YMG's phone is fake.

I was wondering if it just wasn't that the phones in there were from 1829. The really old ones with the thick cloth wire. Like the one Rumbold has with the push buttons on it.... http://home.dejazzd.com/mollie/confused.gif

[sonosun]

The really old ones with the thick cloth wire. Like the one Rumbold has with the push buttons on it....

When I was a child phones didn't have the curly cords that most of us are used to.They had thick straight cords both from the wall to the phone and from the phone to the reciever. :wink:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I just noticed this blooper a few days ago.....
From "A Bliss Girl" when Humphries is modeling the fur coat for the customer and Slocombe comes out, he trips as the camera is ready to go to Slocombe. Watch it.. it's hilarious !!!!

[sonosun]

I just noticed this blooper a few days ago.....

Greg you watch A Bliss Girl every day. Why did it take you so long to find it?

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I dunno ????? Just the other day is when I noticed it and pee'd myself giggling at it !!!!!

[sonosun]

I dunno ????? Just the other day is when I noticed it and pee'd myself giggling at it !!!!!


I can see this in my mind ,but I'm nor sure I actually saw it or if it's the power of suggestion. Mr Humphries tripping I mean. :lol:

[Tim]

IMO he was tripping deliberately due to the shock of Mrs. Slocombe calling his name.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

It looks as if his one leg got caught on the other legs pant leg. Either or... it was funny !!!! :lol:

[sonosun]

I was able to watch that and it looked like he did trip.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Another one !!!! In the very begining of "Cold Comfort" the camera shot in question is one in the gent's department looking over at the ladies. You can see Mr. Grainger sitting on a chair by the ladies counter (the part of the ladies department that is rarely seen) He has the cotton in his ears already. It's dark over there but it's when the opening credits are rolling. Let me know if anyone else sees this !!!!!!

[sonosun]

I've seen that and it's a bit eerie seeing Mr Grainger sitting there like that.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I was hoping that it was actually there and not just me seeing things !!! :shock:

[frankdicer]

I can't recall the episode names but will look for them.....


2 about Mrs. Slocombe

First, There is a comment about Mrs Slocombe's Pussy, not knowing its
name, it is a later episode, yet Mrs. Slocombe has already mentioned it by
name.....tiddles in an earlier one.

Second, In the episode about her birthday, no one can remember her
name yet in earlier episodes, they call her Betty.

I'll see if I can put names to the episodes and their sequence numbers....

Both from "50 Years On"

[frankdicer]

Both from "50 Years On"

Greg is right, the references to NOT knowning Ms. Slocombe's name nor her
cat's name are both in the episode 50 years on.

Ms. Slocombe's name (Betty) is first referenced in the pilot....the scene
where she is trying to influence Captain Peacock to make Grainger allow her
the use of the center stand. He calls her Mrs. Slocombe and she huddles in
close and says, "Betty"...

Her cat is named by Mr. Humphries in "Our figure are slipping"... The scene,
Rumbold is telling everyone to stay after and Mrs. Slocombe utters those
immortal words, " What about my Pussy"? Humphries, comments,
"Tiddles, will have to cross his legs"

These bloopers are more in the area of continuity(i.e. script writing) than staging.

[sonosun]

50 Years
Fifty,fifty? I'm only forty-six! :eek:

the Pilot is well, the pilot and
Our Figures are slipping is episode 2 ( after Sexy Knickers)

The funny thing is she(Mollie Sugden) really was fifty (born in 1922 and the episode aired in 1972) or 49 if the episode was shot after her birthday.

In "Think Tank" when Mr. Lucas is trying to turn off the tape recorder at the end of the fashion show..... The tape stops but the music keeps playing. God I love AYBS !!!!!!!!!

Didn't something similar happen when Mr. Harmon played the wedding music for Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries' "fake" wedding? I forgot the name of the episode but Mr. Tebbs dressed as a Greek Vicar and the music keeps playing even though Mr. Harmon has taken the needle off the record.

Something like that.... :mrgreen:

The eppy is "Do You Take This Man" and you're right. This time it was a record player but the same thing happens. ALSO, In "Front Page Story" when the "Holiday Girl" contestants are coming out, the reel to reel keeps going but the music only plays for a few seconds at a time. :lol2:

There is another gaffe in "Do You Take This Man"....
When Mrs. Slocombe comes out of the fitting room in her wedding gown for Mr. Humphries to fit, not for the actual wedding,
suddenly a hand appears to straighten her train......ooops....It ain't Ms.
Brahms, she's standing to the right (viewers right) of the doorway.

WOW !!! I never noticed that one before !!!!! **runs to watch DYTTM"**

[Miss Whimsey]

In "Top Hat and Tails," while bringing in the male figure, Mr. Harmon tells Captain Peacock that Mr. Lucas is just behind with Ginger Rogers -the female figure. However, you can see the female figure standing in the back, draped with a sheet, and no sign of Mr. Lucas.

Here's a blooper from "Up Captain Peacock"... we can see a boom mic hanging overhead !!!!!

[dazzlestar14]

If I had a loonie for every boom mic I have seen on this show, I would be in a pot of gold!

Agree.... I have a bunch with boom mics and they are not as cool as the other bloopers but it was the first one I came across in me folder. :)

[dazzlestar14]

I remember somebody saying that they could see the reflection of a boom mic on the silver edge of the table in the canteen. I could never figure out which episode it was for though.

[Jeff Humphries]

Hey Wib, are you going to put up all the bloopers you've done already? :shrug: They were some good ones ! :mrgreen:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Here's one that more on an inconsistencey than a Blooper.....
In "The Apartment" Slocombe makes mention the reason her husband wasn't there was because the "Fraud Squad" came and took him away. In "Grace and Favour" she says he left when he went to Sainsbury's to get some butter (slightly salted) and never returned....... :shrug:

[Tiddles]

Also from The Apartment Mrs. Slocombe's table lamp goes on by itself. I don't think she even puts her hand near it. :o

Here you can see in a scene from "The Night Club" that Harman is standing, hidden in the background waiting to come on.

[Dick]

I can't remember the episode name, but it's the one where Mr. Grainger is in the mess with the rest of the gang and has pudding dribbling off his chin. (I think it's the one where he says, "How'd you arrive at that hypothesis?" and then utters he can't say that again because his teeth are caught up in the custard.) Anyway, you know he knew it was there and just kept on, probably to crack up his costars.

Come to think of it, Grainger eating anything in the canteen must have been an exercise in cracking up his costars as well as the audience.

Because, well, you know, Grainger was the star. :P

[Mr. Harmon]

I caught a couple tonight in the episode "His and Hers"

The first thing I noticed is that in the episode the lift indicator only shows 4 floors. Basement, Ground Floor, 1st floor and 2nd floor, yet in "The Apartment" the 5th floor is being remodeled.

The next one I caught was when Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas are pantomiming Captian Peacock.

Mr. Humphries says "... otherwise I shall lose my position at Grace Brothers, a position I've held these 30 summers.... and a lot more winters" yet in the episode Gambling Fever, we hear:
Mrs. Slocombe: "I've got about a hundred pounds here"
Mr. Humphries: "Same as me"
Ms. Brahams: "Ear! You shouldn't have as much as me and Mrs. Slocombe, on account we've been here longer"

Somehow I find it hard to believe that a young thing like Ms. Brahams has been there more than 30 summers! :D

P.S. Greg!! Got a great screen capture for ya. Notice the position of Mr. Humphries hand in "His and Hers" when he first drops to his knees!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/Amino-X/AYBS%20Emoticons/emotlol.gif

A couple from "Shedding the Load"

Peacock and his whole "Scott/Oats" speech.

In the very beginning of the show, you can see the display sitting there in plain view.
http://lordgreg.minki.net/stlblooper1.jpg

Harman messes up in the explanation of the "Brillo Pad" display being put on a random timing mechanism. He says it too late.
And I just saw this last night !!!!! When Harman is leading the display away (the dummy with the tights on), you can see him in the background holding the dummy's arm !!!!!! :lol:

[Tiddles]

In "Memories Are Made Of This" Wendy starts cracking up at Mollie's over-exaggertaed "kiddie antics" when Wendy starts to leads her off the set...I believe just before the canteen scene. It's been a while since I have seen that one.
--------------------------
Wendy visibly loses her cool and starts laughing in "Father Christmas Affair."

"Did you get your minute stea-ea-eak?" :lol:

"No... :x ....they said it would take TEN minutes..." :P

It's all "downhill" from there as Arthur Brough starts mugging and slurping his food on purpose to further crack her cool.

I watched "German Week" again last night. I still crack up when Mr. Humphries talks about his slippers being in the oven! If you watch Trevor Bannister closely after that line he's really biting his lip to keep from laughing.

Not a blooper per se, but fun nonetheless!!

I fall asleep to it and wake up to it and when I come home from work it's the first thing on the telie. It's a pleasant distraction in the background when I'm either relaxing or doing something round the house. Never get sick of it either. It's been that way for about 7 years now. Even when me Mum got sick and needed help round the clock, I had a pile of my AYBS? tapes to take with me on my watch. :wink:

I fall asleep to it and wake up to it and when I come home from work it's the first thing on the telie. It's a pleasant distraction in the background when I'm either relaxing or doing something round the house. Never get sick of it either. It's been that way for about 7 years now. Even when me Mum got sick and needed help round the clock, I had a pile of my AYBS? tapes to take with me on my watch.

Do you find you can quote a AYBS episode, I mean the whole thing?
:D

A good part of it but not the whole eppy !! :lol:
I'm not that good there Frank. I talk along with the eppy's as I watch them though.

These Bloopers are from "Up Captain Peacock".
In this picture we see the man working the bubbling coffee pot at Slocombe's counter.

In this picture we can see the stage hand changing the display from the "Sensi Touch" display to the "Two Finger Salute" display !!!

These are so very cool. I especially like catching the stage hand changing the
Sensi-Touch display.....Isn't the guy in the forground the man who wanted
the clip-on bowtie that amused Capt'n Peacock so much....

Which brings up another question about the Production of AYBS....Is this show filmed straight through, no outtakes? with a alive audience?
Sometimes it seems that way. Which would help explain many of the bloopers....
Or is it just the British making a show on the cheap? Any Ideas?

[Miss Whimsey]

Wow! As many times as I've seen the same episode, I never caught those two. :lol: Thanks for the catch!

The show was filmed live in front of an audience but as the actor state in various interviews, they were filmed with so much time alotted to them so that's why so many bloopers remained in them. These bloopers here were probably left in because no one but a total AYBS? nut like me would have taken notice !!! :lol2: No seriously though, they probably never figured that the show would have the staying power it did and would be seen so many times, over and over by us fans to even take notice to something like this. :wink:

Actually, it was a member "Huggers Humphries" from the old board that first brought this to my attention. I was shocked that as many times as I've seen that eppy, I never caught it until he said something !!!

[Jeff Humphries]

Great bloopers Wib ! Now I'll never watch that show the same way again. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Here are two from Goodbye Mr. Grainger

http://lordgreg.minki.net/gmgblooper.jpg
In the opening, we see the boom mic hanging out over the Gent's counter.
http://lordgreg.minki.net/gmgblooper2.jpg
Here in this scene, we can see Mr. Grainger waiting with the gifts in his hands for his cue to walk on.

[dazzlestar14]

Cool!

I never even noticed Mr.Grainger with the gifts in the background. However, there are countless times you just see him standing back there waiting for a cue to go on.

[sonosun]

Those are great Greg.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I was begininning to think that no one was looking at these !!! The Grainger one was really bad on the camerman's part. Set up an angle so you can't see it.

[sonosun]

Everyone who comes on the board looks at these. :)

[Maurice Moulterd]

I love these posts. When a new blooper is posted I make a note to look for it when I watch that episode the next time. Then I can't wait to show everyone else around here. They think I am so observant :lol: Acutally a couple of them were obvious enough for me to see on my own, but most were not. I especially love the sensi-touch glove one!

Thank you Maurice !!!!

[Mr. Harmon]

I think I just spotted a new one

In the episode Gambling Fever, the staff are pawning their personal wares to get enough scratch to place on the next race at trouser press at ten to one.

Mr Humphries pawns his watch and chain ?10.00
Capt. Peacock pawns his studs ?10.00
Mrs. Slocombe pawns her semi-precoious ear-rings and part-crocidile purse ?10.00
Mrs. Brahams has nothing to offer so she get's it on tick - ? 10.00
Mr. Spooner pawns his electric fan ?1.00

That makes ?41.00

But when Mr. Harman calls it in, he say's "John Blinker here, can I have 50 quid to win on Inside Leg?"... Who had the other ?9.00??

Whooops!
:D

Maybe Miss Brahms had more on tick than the 10 quid. Harman fancied
her...maybe a little commiting mis-conduct(as Mrs. Slocombe called it)
was on his mind!!!

[Miss Whimsey]

I always check out this list and get a huge laugh. I'm afraid I'm not as observant myself and have to rely on everyone else. :D One I did catch came from the DVD trivia section for "Camping In?" (well, one of the early season one shows). The trivia said something like "One of the few mistakes to actually make it is when Capt. Peacock calls Miss Brahms - Missus." I thought that was a huge blooper right there. Few mistakes? The makers of the DVD should have consulted the sharper members of this list.

There are actually many times in AYBS that actors start to say a name and then stop and check themselves. Just a little hesitation.

[frankdicer]

In Christmas Crackers Mr. Mash refers to the wood alcohol as 97 percent proof....this may be a writing error. but only one of percent or proof should be used as both are measures of relative concentration strength. Proof numbers ranging from 1-200 while percent would go from 1-100.
50 proof means 25 percent alcohol.

I'm guessing the proper measure was 97% alcohol ( or 194 proof )

What he said would be like saying I have a shoe 10 inches feet long.

[Mr. Harmon]

Good Catch Frank, I've seen that episode dozens of times and never noticed that, but your right, he does say 97 percent proof LOL!

My favorite shot from Christmas Crackers is watching Captain Peacock turn the gas tap on the Christmas Pudding just as Mr. Mash hit's it with the match. :mrgreen:

[Old Mr. Grace]

In "The Hand of Fate" Miss Ainsworth is leaving Mr. Rumbold's office at the same time that Cpt. Peacock is entering. She's got to get them off (the letters I mean). A few seconds later when Cpt. Peacock turns around to close the door you can clearly see Miss Ainsworth just standing around outside.

Finally!! .. this is one that I DID see.. :lol: :mrgreen:

I'll have to get a VB of this one as well... Good eye OMG !!!!!!!:thumb:

[Old Mr. Grace]

Look near the beginning of "Our Figures Are Slipping" when Mr. Lucas squashes the bug on Cpt. Peacock's shirt collar. If you look just above Cpt. Peacock's right shoulder you can see the sleave of Miss Brahms' red coat as she waits at the foot of the stairs to make her entrance.

Here are the two I got from Hand Of Fate.http://lordgreg.minki.net/hofblooper.jpg
Here is the beginning scene with the Princess Anne Hats. 40p is what was supposed to be put on the sign but when you look, there is NO price on it !!! The customer even appears to look at the sign and says "4 Pounds !!!"

http://lordgreg.minki.net/hofblooper2.jpg
This is the one that OMG was talking about. We can see Miss Ainsworth standing in the background !!!

[sonosun]

Miss Ainsworth appears to be eyeing Captain Peacock's nether regions. :o

[dazzlestar14]

Ha, either that or she is reading something. :wink:

[Mr. Harmon]

She's standing in the same queuing spot that Mr. Lucas is standing in in (I believe it's..) The Takeover. :lol:

You see Lucas standing outside the door, then suddenly rushes in, closes the door and Capt. Peacock say's "We're all assembled now sir".

[dazzlestar14]

You're right Mr.Harmon!

I always wondered why he was just standing there.

Got that one too !!!! Somewhere around here..... :mrgreen:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Got to thinking about this as I got dressed for work... I don't think it was Takeover that he was standing outside the doorway but the eppy eludes me right now... can anyone help out me brain ???? :shrug:

[Mr. Harmon]

Yeah in thinking about I think your right Wibb, was it the episode where "Young Mr. Grace becomes and Octigenerian" (Does that mean he's not allowed to eat meat?") ??

But darn, I can't think of the title either.

{Edited to add } AH! Was it Founders Day?

[dazzlestar14]

No, I'm pretty sure it is "Takeover" where he was standing outside the door. I'm not 100% either, but that's my gut instinct.

[Mr. Harmon]

FOUND IT!

I had to do a quick scan of the video tapes but it's...

The Punch and Judy Affair :mrgreen:

[frankdicer]

This is a odd one:

In Fifty Years On, Captain Peacock is reading from Miss Brahms Calendar and says, "Cologne evacuated by British troops"
then later he asks Mrs Slocombe if she remembers " British troops ceasing
to use cologne"

[Mr. Harmon]

I always thought it was the troops themselves that evacuated, though the wording can be interchangably interpreted.

Cologne evacuated by Brittish Troops - Brittish troops evacuated stranded citizens of Colonge today ahead of an unexpected push by enemy troops....

or

Cologne evacuated by Brittish Troops - Brittish troops abandonded their post in Cologne today in a pull out of Brittish forces from the area...

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

In "Friends and Neighbors" when Mrs. Slocombe comes on the floor with the bike... as she entering the floor.. she pegs the display. (see Picture #1)
You can hear the crash and then you see that Sue Bishop in the background putting a bust up while the show continues.(see Picture #2)
http://lordgreg.minki.net/fanblooper1.jpghttp://lordgreg.minki.net/fanblooper2.jpg

Also from "Friends and Neighbours" we see the famous blooper that our Tids pointed out. Spooners fly being undone !!!!!!
http://lordgreg.minki.net/fanblooper.jpg

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Here's from "The Punch and Judy Affair". I did the one Mr. Harman was talking about. I did the blooper only to discover that I already did done it a while back so what the Hell ??? Two are better than one, isn't it ??? :lol2:
http://lordgreg.minki.net/pajablooper2.jpg

Here, also from "Punch and Judy" is the scene in the canteen when Humphries can't get his sauce to come out of the bottle. Mrs. Yardswick comes over and puts a pile on his plate for him. In this picture you can see the clear wrap that covers the bottle. Notice when Yardswick takes the bottle, she sticks her finger in the top to break the clear wrap, allowing the sauce to run freely !!!

The way I read the second part of that is that the British troops could
no longer wear cologne(perfume, aftershave etc).

The sauce bottle idea was a clever trick! However it wasn't clever enough as some people have discovered the special effect! :lol:

Here is a camera blooper from "Forward, Mr. Grainger": It occurs when Mr. Rumbold is trying to tell Captain Peacock that Mr. Grainger will be taking over. Right after Rumbold's secretary leaves, and Peacock is still looking at the door, Rumbold tries to get Peacock's attention. The camera is behind Rumbold's back and is looking towards Peacock. For a split second, a vertical object comes into view on the right-hand side of the screen. I think it's the end of the prop wall used to form Rumbold's office.
http://lordgreg.minki.net/fmgblooper.jpg

[dazzlestar14]

Golly Tamale!

That one is wicked, I had never noticed it before, and it's a big one too! I think you're right, it is probably the end of the wall prop to the office. Good eyes!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I have to credit one of our past members Hugger Humphries for this one. He's the one that noticed it first. :wink:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Here's one from Founders Day.
http://lordgreg.minki.net/founderdayblooper.jpg
You can tell they just put the walls beside the main floor for Mr. Grace's office. You can see in the background what appears to be the side of the Ladies counter.

[dazzlestar14]

Whoa!

How could I have missed that one!
These all seem so obvious, yet I have missed them for so long now.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

That's why you have me Dazz. :wink:

[msmith897]

Wow I have really enjoyed reading these and can't wait to watch for them all now.

I just saw some others at this site:
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2549/slipstv.html
:wink:

[Mr. Rust of Audio-Visuals]

There are a couple of great ones with John Inman performing little slights-of-hand on camera.
In German Week when Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas sings a drinking song and crash their mugs together, breaking them, only Mr. Lucas's mug breaks. While the audience is laughing at that, John breaks his own mug by hand so he can then do the Mr. Rumbold "Guess who?" gag with the handles.

In Wedding Bells (?) the customer with the toupee loses his toupee in the sweater in the script, but it actually winds up on the floor, so John goes over and picks it up while he's not speaking and can be seen in the background planting it in the sweater where it's supposed to go.

Someone wrote about this and I'm very sorry I can't remember who it was. But in "The Father Christmas Affair", when Grainger's tie is caught in the till, the first number you see on the till is 2-30. Then as the scene rolls on, the camera pans back to Grainger and suddenly 2-20 is on the till !!!!
http://lordgreg.minki.net/FCblooper.jpg



Here we see the dreaded "Boom Mic" hanging on top of the screen.
http://lordgreg.minki.net/FCAblooper1.jpg

[dazzlestar14]

Oh, you just got to love those boom mics! I know Greg does.
At our house, we play the drinking game (with soda of course) whenever we see a boom mic! :D

THE drinking game when I was in college was HI BOB!. Played while watching "the Bob Newhart" show on TV....Whenever someone on the show said the word "Bob",
you took a drink...If they said "Hi, Bob"...chug! I think the winner was the
last one conscious.

My drink of choice in college was Mountain Dew (soft drink), so I never personally participated. Occasionally, I might be called to referee though.

Wibbster! I think I found a new sceen capture for you :)

I was watching "The Takeover" tonight, and noticed when Capt. Peacock say's "What do we do now?" Mr. Lucas screams "Give them the soup back" and shoves 2 bowls of "soup" in Capt. Peacock's hands.

As he does this, Capt. Peacock accidently tilts the bowl in his left hand a little too far towards the camera revealing the secret that.... THE BOWLS ARE EMPTY! (Not only empty, but clean as a whistle) Yet, he continues to "balance" them as if they are full of piping hot soup. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/Amino-X/Emoticons/emotlol.gif

Here are two shots from the scene that Mr. Harmon was describing. At first I thought there wasn't anything in the bowls myself. But doing a frame by frame we see, alothough it be a teeny bit, there actually is something in them thar bowls.

[frankdicer]

Darn, I thought it was going to be another add a caption :lol:

[sonosun]

Peacock we allow you to serve soup that you yourself dish up and you want to make our cusromers angry by cheating them out of their soup. If you don't shape up it'll be the Labour Exchange on Monday.

You mean like that FD? Greg that is great.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Darn, I thought it was going to be another add a caption :lol:
I just put up a new one for you buddy.... :wink:

[frankdicer]

I'll let the board decide whether this is a blooper or not...

In the Pilot when Captain Peacock shows Lucas how to flute...
when he pulls the handkerchief from Lucas' pocket, you can barely see the
pencil fly out of Lucas' pocket and you can hear the pencil hitting the floor as well.

It is never retrieved Even when Grainger tells Lucas to "Pick up that Lit-ter"

[dazzlestar14]

I'll have to catch the pencil thing later on, I never noticed it!
But I love it when Mr.Grainger says "Lit-tah!" :lol:

[sonosun]

I'vew seen your pencil,but I've not mentioned it. I guess I thought someone had already posted about it. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

My God I'm watching "The Pilot" eppy right now !!! I'll scan back and see..... You are so right !!! The pencil flies out of Lucas's pocket !!! Good eye FD !!! And you too Sonosun for noticing it earlier but never saying anything.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Here's a Blooper from Calling All Customers. Someone spilled coffee on the table and if you watch the eppy, it's there for most of the scene !!!
http://lordgreg.minki.net/cacblooper.jpg

[Jeff Humphries]

You notice all the good stuff Wib. I never seen that one the table before. Now I have to go and watch that episode just to see it.

[dazzlestar14]

I remember the spilled coffee one. I always wondered why it was never cleaned up. If I were one of the cast, it would have drove me crazy just sitting there, eek!

[frankdicer]

Looking at the spill it appears it started with Mr. Humphries cup and headed
towary Mr. Spooner(the saucer appears to have coffee in it too.)

I wonder if one could determine who spilled the coffee and when by watching
the epi very closely.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I was thinking it was Humphries after he pulls his mohawk off and sits down.

[Mr. Harmon]

If you listen really carefully, the camera is on Ms. Brahms as Mr. Humphries is setting the CB on the table. As Ms. Brahms is saying her line ("You were right I was too posh for it" Tink Clunk) you hear the "Tink" of the coffee cup spilling, and when the camera cuts back to Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries you see Mrs. Slocombe skittering back in her chair (away from the table).

Thanks Wib for the soup capture and clearing that up for me. I have got to convert my AYBS collection from "taped off TV" to DVD :oops: :oops: :oops: :mrgreen:

Thanks Wib for the soup capture and clearing that up for me. I have got to convert my AYBS collection from "taped off TV" to DVD :oops: :oops: :oops: :mrgreen:

Worlds of difference with the DVDs....go for it!

I know this isn't a biggie :lol: but last night Cold Comfort was on and throughout several scenes you can see the shadow of the mic overhead of Capt. Peacock.. I thought to myself, Hey I finally saw a mess up.. LOL.. :lol: :lol:

At my work, there are boom mics hanging over us all the time. It gets quite aggravating, especially in a kitchen, lol.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Hey Frank,
I've never noticed the 5b being the top floor. That goes to show that these bloopers not only need good eyes, but good ears as well!

A good memory helps too. So the bloopers can be reported in this thread.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

How about in "Shedding The Load" when Peacock is recalling the story of Captain Scott and half way through it, forgets the name and starts calling him Captain Oates. Then to add insult to injury, Lucas reminds him of Captain Scott at the end of his speach. :lol:

Take notice in "Memories Are Made Of This" when Slocombe crashes through the wall in Rumbolds office on the golf cart. She nails Miss Belfridge in the legs with the desk as everyone looks at Belfridge in shock. Then as the scene is fading out, you can see Slocombe look at Belfridge and ask if she's alright.

[dazzlestar14]

I always liked that scene because you could kind of see the area where the cameras usually are in the department (or where the audience is I guess) through the hole made by Mrs.Slocombe.

Fine, I just watched that yesterday...now, I have to do it all over again!
heh heh heh!

yep, just as the scene fads you can see her mouthing the words.
One can only hope that the desk was a stage prop made for the crash.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Candy Davis takes one Hell of a knock to her legs !!! And probably with all the damage done to the set, tht's the reason they didn't re-do the scene.

[dazzlestar14]

But I'm sure all the men took past the damage and still looked at them with excitement. :roll: :wink:

I have to double-check the episode, but I believe it's "Goodbye Mr. Grainger". At the veeeery beginning, just as the opening song begins, you can see Mr. Humphries snapping along to the beat and wiggling very slightly for a few moments, then he slips into character (which was probably one in the same LOL) and begins serving a customer. Humphries was at the men's counter with Mr. Lucas during the scene. Has anyone else seen this or am I just nutty? :mrgreen:

The very first thing that I see (on the dvd) in the opening of GoodBye Mr. Grainger, is Mr. Humphries modeling a robe for a customer. The first lines of the epi are Mrs. Slocombe and customer talking about the whale bone stiffeners. ??? Is it maybe a different episode?

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I think it is a different eppy. I didn't even take notice that GMG was the eppy in question. I'll see if I can remember during the day what eppy it was.....

[msmith897]

That "blooper" always makes me crazy.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Ever take notice from "Dear Sexy Knickers" when Brahms calls on the phone for Peacock and starts chewing him out. Humphries and Lucas hand the phone over to Grainger who gets the "Have you on the carpet" bit and he's looking RIGHT AT THE LADIES COUNTER !!!!

[sonosun]

Not to mention GWW the counters are near enough to one another that Miss Brahms should have been heard without the telephone as well as seen.

[dazzlestar14]

I would assume that is how Peacock knew it was her immediately Sonosun. Mrs.Slocombe was talking in a low, seductive voice, while Miss.Brahms was practically flapping her lips around.

[frankdicer]

I think it is a different eppy. I didn't even take notice that GMG was the eppy in question. I'll see if I can remember during the day what eppy it was.....

Its Forward Mr. Grainger, not Goodbye Mr. Grainger....
he's swinging his pen to the beat just for a moment.
I figured it was another epi where Grainger was a basket.

Makes me wonder though....is the music playing during taping of the show?
I thought it would be added later.

http://lordgreg.minki.net/clcblooper.jpg

This is one of my favorite bloopers. Someone on the OB brought this to our attention and I wished I could remember who it was to give proper kudos !!!!
From "Closed Circuit" when the staff are at the restaurant awaiting Lord Hurley, you can tell the restaurant set was build on the store set because you can see the stairs and the lift flowers in the background through the door.

[Goldie]

Last night I was watching Shoulder to Shoulder ... Mr. Grainger has Mrs. Slocombe, Miss Brahms, and Mr. Lucas just about cracking up laughing when he takes away his personal drawer and tries to say what he's doing. It's as if he about loses his teeth while trying to say his line and Mr. Lucas and Miss Brahms have a hard time controlling their laughter.. Mrs. Slocombe has a huge smile across her face.. Mr. Humphries seems to be the only one able to keep from laughing.. This isn't necessarily a blooper but I found it funny.. it was cute.. :mrgreen:

[Tiddles]

In The Club it appears that Trevor has a hard time wrapping his tongue around his "top notch swatches." It comes out "top notch squatches."

In Strong Stuff when the boys are moving the privacy screen so they can make their getaway, Mr. Lucas's underpants fall off and end up on the floor in a heap.

In A Personal Problem Mr. Humphries' tea cup drips noticeably everytime he sips in the canteen. And it appears to be dripping milk, which may have just puddled in his saucer.


In The Junior Mr. Goldberg tries to bribe Capt. Peacock in to admitting that he really DID know him by pulling out the picture of Peacock and pointing out Peacock's tattoo on this right shoulder. Well we see them all with their shirts off in Strong Stuff and there's no tattoo on his shoulder....

From The Apartment: In the first scene Mrs. S. is in her new digs, we see her smoothing out the coverlet on her bed. All of a sudden, two lamps go on, without her touching any switches! The one behind the area where the bed table is, and the lamp on the bedtable!

And in one of the funniest bloopers EVER....In Conduct Unbecoming Mr. H. is on "trial" and he's sitting in a wooden chair. He gets all riled up to tell his story and suddenly and energetically, he crosses his legs, causing the wooden chair to slide across the floor making a "tooting" (farting ) sound. Watch for it!! :lol:

Yeah...I just watched that scene again and it seems he's just wired her up to the juice as he puts it. Most people switch their lamps off before unplugging them. So it's a still a blooper. LOL

Another one in S2S is the canteen scene where Mr. Grainger uses the
trick pencil that Miss Brahms gave him to stir Mrs. Slocombe's coffee....
She is supposed to be angry but
you can see she is laughing as the scene fades out.

[Goldie]

I forgot about that one Frank.. that's a good one.. seems like they had a really good time with that eppy.. :mrgreen:

[frankdicer]

Moira Foot plays Rumbolds secretary, Miss Thorpe in 3 consecutive episodes, but in each of them Captain Peacock seems to meet her for the first time....
And since he is smitten by her each time....it would seem unlikely for him to forget her. I know I didn't!
Well, that's how it appears to me.

That one drives me FD !!!! Peacock meets her in "German Week" and then is re-introduced to her in "Shoulder To Shoulder".

[Tiddles]

I never noticed that...about Miss Thorpe!

[sonosun]

Captain Peacock certainly noticed that about Miss Thorpe!

[Mr. Harmon]

I don't mean to change the subject, but I've hit upon another glitch in continuity while dealing with the accounts department (that new ledger clerk will keep telling me about Ramadam)

I've noticed whenever the Account's department is referred to they always say "Up in accounts", yet in the episode where Mr. Grace offers them a social club, Mr. Humphries say's "Accounts is in the basement, how are you going to get them down?" :shrug: :mrgreen:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Agree'd Mr. Harman, another continuity boo-boo.

[Jeff Humphries]

They couldn't even get Mr. Lucas's name right. It went from james to dick.

[Tiddles]

I do believe Mr. H was referred to both as "Claybourne" (Clay) and as "Wilberforce." And speaking of getting fanned in the canteen....the kitchen staff weren't even using fans. They were using rug beaters. The prop budget must have been low for this ep. :|

Here's the Cold Comfort bloopers. Quite a few in this eppy !!!!


http://lordgreg.minki.net/ccblooper1.jpg
In the first picture, we see The Wibster's honey Sue Bishop looking towards the camera and pointing down at the counter cover when the show starts up.

http://lordgreg.minki.net/ccblooper2.jpg
In the second picture, we see the cleaners acting cold while for some reason,
Mr. Grainger is sitting on a chair in the background. I never got this because later on, we see him come out of the lift ????

http://lordgreg.minki.net/ccblooper3.jpg
In the third picture, we can see that the Men's glass counter top has been changed to wood for the "iron dropping down" bit.

http://lordgreg.minki.net/ccblooper4.jpg
In this fourth picture, we see when Humphries puts his water bottle up Graingers back, it didn't make it too far as Grainger walks away.

http://lordgreg.minki.net/ccblooper5.jpg
In the fifth picture, we see as Humphries is ironing Grainger's thermal pad, Grainger knocks down a sign in the background and doesn't pick it up.

[Tiddles]

I love those, Greg!! Especially the one where AB is sitting in the chair! Maybe he'd been to the pub and just felt like sitting for a spell before he went on! :lol:

[dazzlestar14]

Thank you for sharing those Greg!
I remember seeing it the "Grainger in the chair" one a long time ago when somebody mentioned it.

[sonosun]

Cool Greg!

[Jeff Humphries]

Good eye Wib ! That episode has a bunch in them. Thanks for sharing that with us !

[frankdicer]

RE: COLD COMFORT BLOOPERS

Is the Wood top pic a blooper or just a technical change....

BTW, you can see the piece of wood that slides out of the way so the iron
can drop (at least I think that's what it is).

Also, if its so cold in there, how come there is no visible "breath"...In AYBSA(GaF)
when they do the night recon job to get the sheep back ...you can see their breath.

[dazzlestar14]

I would assume that it was because they were outside in GaF. My school was freezing as always, but we didn't see breath come out of our mouths. Maybe the wind has something to do with it, but you raise a valid point Frank.

Not nessesarily a blooper but an observation.

He sits there, fluffing his hands together... I never got it ???? :shrug:

[msmith897]

I saw something last night that I never saw before. In Fire Practice when they bring the dummy out to practice breathing on you can see someone thorugh the curtain (shoes) feeding the electrical cord to them.

[dazzlestar14]

Greggy, I believe he is getting the cotton ready to stuff in his ears! :D

[sonosun]

Bang on Dazzlestar! That's exactly what he's doing.

Good job Greg and Dazz!
Bloopers - technical oops are so fun to find.
I just saw in "50 Years On" in the canteen scene when Mrs. Slocombe is dropping hints about birthdays, that the time on the clock never changes. It is 1:14 throughout the scene.

[mamabear197]

I have popped in quite often to read your light hearted bannter about one of my favourite BBC show's! Let me say I love it and thank you! I have a question about one episode and please correct me if I am wrong! I have watched this show for over 15 years and everytime I see the Pilot episode when Mr Lucas is straightening Mrs Slocombes tights, he get's up and Mr Humphries say's to him Griffin wants you instead of Grainger! Am I just hearing it wrong all these years? That one has always boggled me! Then again I am getting old to so could be imagining it! Thanks all!
