Aquarius picture

Revolution 1 - S2-E4

Factual error: Hodiak is having breakfast at a dinner. There is a sign for breakfast with a price of $4.95. In 1967 the price for breakfast would have been around $1.25 or less. Minimum wage was $1.60 an hour and the price of a big Mac, for example, was $0.50 and fries $0.10. So a $4.95 price for breakfast is just ridiculous.

Midwinter of the Spirit picture

Show generally

Factual error: Possibly a mistake from the novel on which the series is based, but although he later became Bishop of Hereford, St Thomas Cantilupe wasn't baptised in Herefordshire. He came from Buckinghamshire.

Morris - S3-E7

Factual error: Cynthia comes homes after food shopping. She takes the food (sandwich turkey, mustard, tangerines, paper towels and napkins) out of the shopping bag. She makes Joe a sandwich and uses the new mustard without having to remove the protective seal first. All new mustard squeeze bottles have a protective seal that has to be removed first before use. (00:20:00 - 00:22:00)

Peter Kay's Car Share picture

Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: After John finishes arguing with the cyclist, the cyclist goes to remove his bottle from the roof of John's car and John starts driving, pulling the cyclist along with him a few feet. When John and Kayleigh are watching the video of this later on in the episode, the cyclist is shown removing the bottle from the roof of the car when John drives away, but he is not shown being pulled forward a few feet like he was earlier.

You, Me and the Apocalypse picture

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Jamie and Dave are trying to drive around the old couple, you see Jamie's window is all the way down, but a few feet later when they run out of gas, we see Jamie roll his window down to talk to the couple.

Die Glocke - S4-E6

Other mistake: When Jones is trying to convince Herr Waesch that she's the owner of the estate where his gala is being held, subtitles of his reply read "I personally procured this home. It's owners were French." The contraction "it's" should be the possessive "its."

Code of a Killer picture

Show generally

Factual error: The detective constable is addressed as "Sir" by uniformed constables. They actually hold the same rank. Detectives do not outrank uniformed officers in Britain.

The Frankenstein Chronicles picture

Season 1 generally

Factual error: Many elements of Marlott's trial and execution are incorrect. The judge sits with two assessors (a European practice, not a British one). He is addressed as 'Your Honour' instead of the correct 'My Lord'. He instructs the jury to find Marlott guilty and then goes straight to sentencing, which would never happen; a judge can instruct a jury to acquit, but not convict. He puts the black cap on himself, instead of an attendant doing it. The form of words for the death sentence is incorrect. The chaplain (who appears to be Catholic, not Anglican) gives a speech at the scaffold.

Black Work picture

Show generally

Factual error: Detective Chief Inspector Kapoor is suddenly shown in uniform with inspector's rank insignia. Detectives never wear uniform (except rarely on formal occasions) and he has apparently dropped a rank.

The Bastard Executioner picture

Pilot: Part 1 - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Just before he sees his wife in the crowd, he lifts the sword up, revealing a blade with very dull edges (unsharpened replica sword), which magically becomes super sharp 1 minute later when he slices the guy's head off without any problems. (01:27:20)
