Added DiffLines:

* In the ''Series/HancocksHalfHour'' episode, "The Bequest", Tony tries to open a bottle of champagne for Linda (a girl supplied to him by a marriage bureau) but it explodes in her face. This was an accident, and Creator/LizFraser remarks in her autobiography that she didn't mind as it was a nice champagne.

* ''Series/TheMandalorian'' has some of its title character's dialogue ad-libbed or rewritten during star Creator/PedroPascal's ADR sessions.[[note]]Lip-syncing doesn't provide an issue for Pascal and the show runners, since the Mandalorian almost always wears a mask.[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* In the ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'' episode "[[Recap/OnlyFoolsAndHorsesS1E01BigBrother Big Brother]]", Grandad's chess computer randomly saying "Illegal Move" without even being in use at the time was unscripted and unexpected. Creator/DavidJason and Creator/LennardPearce's puzzled reactions in the scene were genuine but they still played the scene out as per the script.

\n*''Series/PipoDeClown'': The origin of the name 'Dikke Deur'. According to the script, the character, Klukkluk, was meant to say 'Directeur' (as in Circus Director), but his actor Herbert Joeks flubbed that line. Ever since, he's been called that by the other characters in later adaptations.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/AlloAllo'': Yvette's growl when uttering "Ohh, René!" was ad-libbed by Creator/VickiMichelle, who wanted a CharacterCatchphrase and thought she wasn't getting enough dialogue in the {{Pilot}}, "The British Are Coming".

Added DiffLines:

* Only one take could be done for the filming of the burning float in the climax of the ''Series/HiDeHi'' episode, "Carnival Time"; Jeffrey falling off the float and into the pool, and Gary getting swept under were both accidents that were left in as they wouldn't be able to reshoot the scene. To Creator/SimonCadell's credit, he plays the scene off in such a way that it seems intentional.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/GeorgeAndMildred'': Creator/YoothaJoyce had a habit of adding more cries of "George!" to her performance, knowing the audience would always laugh. Writer Brian Cooke remarked:
-->One episode, we counted them and there were thirty-four more "Georges" than we'd put in the script. So, we stopped using "George" at all, and she still managed to get ten or twelve in.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/DoctorInTheHouse'': ''Doctor at Large'' and ''Doctor in Charge'' had a total of 72 episodes between them, resulting in very tight shooting schedules. Many flubbed lines, wobbling sets, and visible boom mikes and cameras ended up in the finished series as a result (for example, in the ''Doctor at Large'' episode "Operation Loftus", Stuart-Clark talks about having to hide his stash of "illugal-legal booze"; Geoffrey Davies, Creator/BarryEvans, and Creator/GeorgeLayton struggle to suppress smiles at the mistake).

Added DiffLines:

* Creator/CliveDunn had a habit of ad-libbing in rehearsals for ''Series/DadsArmy'' that David Croft found genuinely funny and encouraged him to keep in. The only issue was Dunn would hardly ever be able to remember what he had ad-libbed come the recording.

** "[[Recap/FatherTedS1E5AndGodCreatedWomen And God Created Women]]" features Mrs Doyle recites a long list of profanities which she has read in a steamy novel, supposedly to demonstrate how offensive she found it. The last one, just as Ted ushers her out of the room and slams the door, was "'Ride me sideways!' - that was another one!" That was an ad-lib by Pauline [=McLynn=], which was left in, though the scene had to be ended immediately afterwards as Creator/DermotMorgan (as Ted) promptly burst out laughing.

** "[[Recap/FatherTedS3E2ChirpyBurpyCheapSheep Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep]]" had Father Dougal giving a number of increasingly ridiculous descriptions of the "Beast of Craggy Island," culminating in the LogicBomb claim of "instead of a mouth, it's got two faces." Ardal O'Hanlon didn't think this was funny, and so during filming changed it to "instead of a mouth it's got four arses," which caused the studio audience to laugh for so long that Dermot Morgan had to wait nearly a minute to continue, and the writers had to concede that, low-brow as it was, O'Hanlon's version was the funnier one.
