Hustle (2004)

Conned Out of Luck - S6-E5

Character mistake: When Mickey and Emma are trying to get access to the university labs, they claim they are working for Ofsted, and are investigating exam manipulation allegations. In fact, Ofsted have never been responsible for supervising/investigating universities - they only cover places of education up to the age of 18. Completely different organisations supervise universities.

Hustle (2004)

The Last Gamble - S1-E6

Character mistake: The amount of money the team allegedly scammed the first mark for keeps changing throughout. In the first scene, it appears to be £25K (the mark gives them this as a bribe). However, in the next scene when the team divide the money up, it is stated to be £105K. However then, in the penultimate scene, when the mark thinks Mickey has given him "60-70K" (Ash's words) from their new horse racing con, he states that he has made a 50 grand profit: thus suggesting again he was scammed out of 25k.
