Billionaire Boy picture

Other mistake: When Warwick Davis shows Joe the form he's tricked his father into signing to allow him to transfer schools, the form is shown full screen. The "home" phone number is the same as that used in the school's letterhead, and there is text that says"insert name of fictitious school here." Also in this scene the name of the headmaster and phone number is visible, but none of those details match what is on the school's advertising board a couple of scenes later when Joe starts at his new school.
