(5 votes)

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.

Sacha

Mystery Man - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth arrives to visit Margaret early in the episode she is bare-headed. When she leaves she is wearing a hat and a neck scarf which she wasn't wearing when she arrived.
