Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Factual error: In the Scarlet Pimpernel sketch, the opening caption reads "France, 1778." This is the Scarlet Pimpernel who rescues people during the "Reign of Terror", as is confirmed several times during the sketch. But the French Revolution was still eleven years away and its Reign of Terror wouldn't start until 1793.
Katie Girls - S3-E3
Factual error: Randall flies out last minute across the country to Los Angeles to be at his sister's side for her surgery. The scene where he arrives at the hospital and meets up with her husband Toby in The Waiting Room is prefaced by an exterior shot of the supposed hospital building. The sign outside the hospital indicates the name as "Sutter Health Alta Bates Summit Medical Center," which is a hospital in Berkeley - the San Francisco Bay Area - about 400 miles north of Los Angeles. (00:19:30)
Factual error: During the meeting with American prisoners the lone woman says she's fought in both the European and Pacific theaters. Unless I'm mistaken, nobody got shipped from one to another during the war unless one theater was done.
Everybody Hates Christmas - S1-E11
Factual error: The episode is dated as 1982. When Chris is sitting on the bench waiting for the bus, the gentleman next to him is singing Tears For Fears' "Shout." The song was not released in the US until June 1985.
Honoria Glossop Turns Up (or, Bridegroom Wanted!) - S4-E3
Factual error: Sir Roderick has moved his psychiatric clinic to New York because the BMA wouldn't approve of his methods. Although we don't get exact dates for the episodes, since prohibition was in effect in the last episode and Puttin' On The Ritz came out in 1929, we can presume it's the late 20s/early 30s. The AMA wouldn't recognize psychiatry as legitimate medicine until the 1940s. Sir Roderick wouldn't have had any better luck in America.
Factual error: The operator that receives the 911 call only sends the police, when in actuality if a caller is silent during their call, the operator has to send out all emergency services.
Family Day - S2-E5
Factual error: The phone number Harry is given has an exchange that starts with "0" (the first 3 digits after the area code). Phone numbers (in the US) can't start with "0" since that's the "operator."
Factual error: While the brothers were fighting with each other, they were interrupted by the flag being raised and stopped fighting to salute the flag. The wrong song was playing when the flag was being hoisted. On real Army bases, Reveille is supposed to play during the raising of the flag, but the show had the end of "To the Colors" (what is played when the flag is being lowered in the evening) playing instead. (00:14:00)
Factual error: Emily is in Paris when her boyfriend calls from Chicago and wakes her. She asks the time which he says is 7pm, and she says 3am in Paris, which cannot be. Central European Time is 6 hours ahead of NY and 7 from Chicago. 7 pm in Chicago would be 2 AM in Paris.
Black Widow VS Widowmaker (Marvel VS Overwatch) - S6-E3
Factual error: When Black Widow and Widowmaker fire the sniper shot at each other, there is a close up of the bullets grazing each other in mid air. However in this shot the bullets are animated as having the casings still attached while flying through the air. (00:15:30)
Factual error: Linda calls up Jen the babysitter to come watch over the Belcher kids, so she and Bob can go to Maya and Beckett's loft "party." Jen is in her room talking to Linda over the phone, however her screen still has the red (decline call) button and the green (answer call) button with Linda's name as she talks on the phone. There should only be the 'hang up' button with Linda's name and a running time of the duration of their call. (00:04:22)
Factual error: The police car used in this programme, which is set in the early 1960s, is an Austin 1100 Mark 2. However, the Austin 1100 Mark 2 did not start production until 1967.
Factual error: During the maths exam, Dr. Mariani instructs Lamponne to write two division signs together and then to write 1 divided by 0, two things that are impossible in secondary school maths. (00:41:02)
Factual error: 2016 special - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks: Mr Harmon comments on a perfume called Belle, which he thinks is called "Belly", "I wonder what the next one will be called. Bingo Wings?" The episode is set in 1988 and the term "bingo wings" didn't exist before the 1990s. (00:10:40)
Factual error: Karen says she doesn't want to divorce Jody because he'll take half her life insurance payout in the divorce, but life insurance (as well as other inheritances) are not considered marital property and don't usually get divided in a divorce.
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Factual error: A '91 Honda Civic is seen towards the end of the episode, but the show is suppose to be set in the summer of '81. (00:21:30)
Factual error: In season 2, they spend a lot of time at a Malibu Beach house. There are a few scenes across a few episodes when they are headed from Malibu into Los Angeles, but the scenes are shot on the coast in El Segundo, roughly 30 miles out of the way and definitely not a straight shot from Malibu.
Closely Watched Planes - S4-E3
Factual error: If there really was a hatch leading into mid-air in the airplane bathroom, instead of being soundless like shown, it would be incredibly loud and Max would have noticed. Also, the sudden pressure change would have sucked him out no matter what he did to stop it.
Factual error: When His Divine Shadow lays on the table to have his brain removed, the machine cuts his skull open and simply reaches in with a three pronged hand and tugs on the brain pulling it out. It would not have worked this way... The brain is about the same consistency as gravy and the prongs on the hand/claw putting pressure on it to pull would have caused them to sink into the brain's tissue destroying it. Also it pulls the brain out without cutting or separating it from the spinal column and merely just pulls it out from the top. This would have caused his brain to be torn into pieces as it was tried to be pulled off the spinal column, not come out perfectly in one piece as shown. (01:09:00)
Factual error: When Jane is putting up the lost poster, the number to call is 1-800-saw-him. However, this is only a 6-digit phone number when it needs to be 7-digits (not including the 1-800 part).
