Goofs and Gaffes - Corn Dolly - Shut that door!

By Rich Cross Last updated on 21 December 2020, 12:53:11

It's only on the third attempt that the caravan door slams shut...

When Abby prompts Mick to tell his own experiences, he becomes distressed

Where are we?: After enjoying Charles' hospitality over a welcome evening meal, the dinner guests share stories about survival and their hopes for the future. When Abby prompts Mick to tell his own experiences, he becomes distressed, and flees the caravan - the pain too much to bear in public

What's the goof?: This one is an audio, rather than a visual, goof. Although Mick is supposed to storm off into the night, actor Keith Jayne evidently stops just outside the caravan (in the BBC studio). We hear him take three separate attempts to shut the caravan door.

Just play the scene back, and turn the volume up...
