The Children's Carol - S6-E11

Factual error: After Jason tells Olivia that he's giving up playing his music because he doesn't think he has a choice, when it cuts to the exterior shot of the rooming house, the vehicle parked in front is modern. The same type of thing happens later, when John rescues Pip from the airfield there are modern vehicles, etc, on the street in the background. (00:34:30 - 01:29:30)

The Children's Carol - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: When Pup and Tess are on the runway and John runs to save them, they huddle as the plane passes. After the plane passes, they stand up but you cannot see the airplane that supposedly just passed them. (01:29:35)

Olivia: Now I've got two sons working nights in a saloon.

The Unthinkable - S8-E15

Trivia: While John is reading the newspaper funnies to John Curtis, we hear Erin and Mary Ellen come home, so John puts the folded newspaper down on the couch. And as the newspaper lies on the couch, we can see the large white adhesive label with typewritten sentences adhered to the center of the funnies page. Presumably, these are the actor's lines as he was reading quite animatedly to the toddler (sweet moment). (00:06:25)
