Revealing mistake: The opening scene was shot twice, complete with a rear-end automobile collision in the foreground for both takes. The initial collision destroyed the taillights of the first car and the headlights of the second car and ruptured the second car's radiator on impact, spilling its contents into the street. The production crew attempted to sweep away the debris with a broom before the scene was reshot. If you examine the roadway before the two cars appear in this scene, you will see a prominent splatter on the pavement that has been swept with a broom almost precisely where the cars impact again moments later.
Factual error: This programme is set in 1935, but in all aerial shots all cars that can be seen are from the 1970s.
Continuity mistake: Before the match at the end of this episode the chairman and his wife arrive and park their car outside the ground at an angle to the right but when the team coach arrives the car is parked at an angle to the left.
Factual error: This episode is set in the '30s. When Gordon is cycling along the road the back of a triangular road sign can be seen. These signs did not appear until the 1960s.
Revealing mistake: In the opening scenes the lights have been removed from the two cars for safety before the two cars collide.
Visible crew/equipment: Camera lights can be seen reflected in the vehicles during the opening scene.
Continuity mistake: As the train departs from the station it passes the position where Whinfrey and the porter are standing on the platform. When Whinfrey chases after the train it passes the same position again.
Continuity mistake: When Whinfrey is at the railway station the weather changes from dry to wet.
