YMMV / The Brittas Empire S5E1: The Old, Old Story

• Special Effect Failure: This episode revolves around an emu running wild in the centre, which leads to several amusing effects failures. They actually managed to get a live emu, but presumably it was too dangerous to let the actors interact with it. So you either get a live emu running down a corridor dragging an obvious dummy, or human actors interacting with a hand puppet sticking over a bathroom stall. To their credit, the people involved seemed to realise this problem, so the shots with the fake ostrich are so obviously fake that it actually adds to the comedy.
