Episode #1.4 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Thomas and Grace are sharing a drink to celebrate her employment with the Shelbys. Thomas pulls out a cigarette, puts it in his mouth (correctly), and then turns to the camera to reveal a backwards cigarette. (00:43:00)
Episode #1.5 - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Tommy enters the office where Grace is working on the books he steps forward, leaving the door open, to draw a black star on her ledger. When he turns to leave the door is shut. (00:03:40)
Factual error: It's Christmas Eve 1925. Tommy and his son leave a mince pie for 'Santa and Rudolph', but there was no reindeer called Rudolph until the 1930s. The character's author hadn't even graduated by 1925, and only began writing a book about a red-nosed reindeer in 1939.
Grace Burgess: You think I am a whore?
Tommy Shelby: Everyone's a whore, Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.
Episode #1.5 - S1-E5
Trivia: Tommy Flanagan plays Arthur Shelby Sr, father to Arthur (Paul Anderson) and Tommy (Cillian Murphy). In real life, Flanagan is only 11 years older than Murphy and 13 years older than Anderson. (Incidentally, Arthur is 3 years older than Tommy despite Anderson being 2 years younger than Murphy).
Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Question: In the street scene with the three brothers leaving in a car for London, the car has 'Fiat' the grille. In the next scene with the car, there is nothing on the grille. Could they have had this car, at that time? After all there was mention of 'Bugatti' at least he beginning of the same episode. Would a Lanchester made in Sparkbrook be more likely?
