Favourites - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: Margaret Thatcher tells the Queen that her son Mark has gone missing during the Dakar Rally. Mark's team hadn't been heard from in two days. Apparently in the evening of the same day the Queen and Prince Philip sit together and watch the news. You can hear the voice of the TV-commentator: "Mark Thatcher is missing for five days." And then the Queen tells Philip "The prime minister said something interesting today." So, what's right? 2 days or 5 days? (00:03:30 - 00:05:00)

48:1 - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Opening scene is a 1947 flashback with Claire Foy giving her 21st birthday speech. When the camera is near, the black microphone is near her face with no sign, but in a long distant shot, there is a black BBC sign on top of it. (00:04:11)

War - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: After the queen pins the Order of Merit on Thatcher's lapel, she lowers her head to see it. A shot later her right hand is suddenly over the medal.

Hyde Park Corner - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: On the morning of King George VI's death, the King's valet is in the dumbwaiter lift bringing up the King's tea and breakfast. Inside the lift shows the valet pulling the rope as it raises to the King's sleeping floor. The waiters are facing front and away from the valet, and the covered wall light is located closest to the main door with the rope in the left-rear corner. As the lift stops, the waiters are now facing the valet to the left, and the covered wall light is now located closest to the rear of the lift with the main rope now located in the left-front corner. These two scenes were filmed in two separate sets. (00:23:05)
