Vigil

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The captain of the submarine has the rank of Commander (3 solid stripes) and half-way through episode 4 the captain suddenly has the rank of Captain (4 solid stripes) as shown on his shoulder epaulettes.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Kirsten is referred to as a DC (Detective Constable) in the first half of the series and then as a DS (Detective Sergeant) in the second half. As these later episodes include flashbacks to before the previous episodes, she obviously hasn't suddenly been promoted.

Mistakes

Show generally

Factual error: The insignia worn by the submarine crew is inaccurate, including the lack of a white patch behind the trade badges and a strange made-up version of the White Ensign. Also the Submarine service emblem of two heraldic dolphins has them facing the other way.

Trivia

Season 2 generally

Trivia: Instead of the Royal Air Force, the series has a fictitious British Air Force with largely invented insignia. Ranks are taken from the RAF, but sometimes different rank insignia is worn (e.g. an air vice-marshal wearing air marshal's insignia and a flight lieutenant wearing flying officer's insignia, although another flight lieutenant wears correct insignia).
