Holiday on the Buses picture

Factual error: When Olive is repeatedly saying "I can't find it," Mr and Mrs Briggs are listening through the walls of their bedroom. However, we can see when Jack and Stan return with the toilet that Mr and Mrs Briggs are staying in the chalet to the right of the Butlers. When Stan first shows the family their chalet, it shows that their bedrooms are on the left. This means they wouldn't have been able to listen to Arthur and Olive through the wall.

The Thief Who Came to Dinner picture

Factual error: When Webster is attempting to open his first safe, on the job, so to speak, he only turns the wheel once. Now, I am not an expert on safes, but I do know that the wheel must be turned back and forth, with the correct numbers, a few times, at least.
