Factual error: Ash gives Albert a slip of paper with Lily's home address, including a postcode of WC2E. That postcode is in Central London, but the house Albert then goes to is somewhere far more suburban, a long way from WC2. (00:50:21 - 00:55:22)

Hustle (2004)
Factual error: The police visit Richard Shaw's estate agency towards the end of the episode. The establishing background shot opposite where the estate agency allegedly is is of what was then the Cable and Wireless Building (long since bought by Vodafone). That building's real-life address is in the SE1 postcode. The problem is that the business card the police officer holds with the address has a completely different postcode.

In a Class of Their Own - S15-E4
Continuity mistake: When Paul tears up the list and starts typing his own list, he says "If Barry's on the list, then I'm gonna be on the list as well." However, when the video footage from Barry's camcorder is later shown on the TV in the assembly hall, in the recorded footage Paul now says "If Barry's on the list, then I'm gonna be as well."

In a Class of Their Own - S15-E4
Continuity mistake: When Barry carries the long plank of wood through the doorway, the door slams, and a shattering glass sound effect and Barry and Paul's reaction suggests the glass window in the door has been broken. However, the camera briefly shows the door over Barry's shoulder - and the glass pane is completely intact.

Factual error: Aunt Petunia says that the chalice was first seen in the Stone Age, and sends Paul and Barry back to where Stonehenge is just being completed.

Character mistake: The voice tells Tom that the alarm deactivation code is 47223. However, when Tom enters the code subsequently to deactivate the alarm, he only enters "4723." You can tell he doesn't enter a fifth digit because the keypad chimes each time a digit is entered.
