Syd stumbles over some lines in the joke shop sketch, causing Eddie to playfully mock him.
During the spoof of "The Onedin Line", Syd appears to make a mistake with his lines, claiming that he has "never" had a pain before, only for it to then be "last two years ago". Eddie's laughing remark of "Shall I go out and come back in, then we can start again?" highlights the mistake, but it's unclear if this was preplanned, as the duo making mistakes, fluffing lines, etc., was a featured part of their humour.
Although normally strong at miming, both stars are sometimes out of synch during the Top of the Pops sketch.
