Audio problem: The Lion King kicks the hyena's butt and sends the animal flying away and cracking up. For brief seconds and a couple of times the hyena is serious and with the mouth closed but the laugh persists.

Sacha

Visible crew/equipment: After the cat hisses at the children and Miss Price says they startled him, the cat is shown moaning and you can see a shadow moving across its head. It's not Miss Price, as she is up on the stairs, and it's not the children, as they are not close enough and are trying to keep their distance as they move towards the stairs. This is likely a crew member moving toward the cat in order to get it to react. (00:10:10)

Character mistake: The Pepperinge Eye post office displays a sign saying "licenses issued." In British English the spelling should be "licences". (00:06:25)

Continuity mistake: When Miss Price and the children are first en-route to London on the bed, Paul is holding his cap in some shots (from the side and front) and not at all in the shots from behind him and his sister.

Factual error: At Portobello Market, when the kids are eating, there's a sign that reads "cookies." No chance there would have been anything like that in 40's London. It would definitely have read "biscuits."

Other mistake: The interiors of Miss Price's house is definitely not from a British country house. The ground floor looks more like an American 70's house.

Continuity mistake: When the old bookseller is telling the story of Astoroth, the position of Ms Price and Mr Brown's hands on the broken book differs between the wide shot and the close-ups.

Sacha

Mr. Browne: Observe the fundamental weakness of the criminal mind. You will believe no one or anything.
