Continuity mistake: When the squad are following Don on the motorbike in their white Ford Cortina they turn outside a shop called "Chelsea Typewriters". In the shots taken inside the car there is a white Riley parked between the red Fiat and silver Datsun, but in exterior shots there is a space where the Riley is parked.
Factual error: The squad are following the stolen lorry when it suddenly reverses across the road, causing the squad to swerve up the kerb, ripping a front wheel off the squad car. Four hours later when the body of the murdered lorry driver is found, Regan and Carter arrive at the murder scene in the same squad car. It would take more than four hours to recover the car and repair that much damage.
Continuity mistake: In the pre-title sequence when De Courcey's Rolls-Royce is being followed by the robbers' orange Porsche, the road starts off as a dual carriage way, then as soon as the Porsche overtakes the Rolls the road changes to a single carriage way, and then to a country lane .
Other mistake: Early on in this episode Regan is moaning about lawyers earning £30,000 a year and that he himself can just about afford a secondhand car, but later on in this episode he is driving a M registration ford Capri, which would have been brand new when this episode was made.
Suggested correction: He is being metaphorical. Reagan is known for his florid turn of phrase.
