Noticed an Error in 'Laundry Blues' Episode


When the V.A.T man enters the shop, Arkwright calls him 'Mr Reily'. Later in that same episode, he then calls him 'Mr O Connoll' (when telling him about the mice!). Anyone else notice this?

Hi Blacksword,

I too, have noticed this anomaly......but I think that it is intentional.

The VAT man is obviously of Indian extraction, so his name would certainly NOT be "O'Reilly" or "O'Connell".

I think it's just another of Roy Clarke's witticisms...............one of the many!
