Revealing mistake: In the first scene of part two Jack and Linda are supposed to be kissing but their lips are not touching.
Factual error: In the Edwardian street scene a modern car can be seen behind the cart on the left of the screen - a beige Morris 1800, 1968-1972 model.
Continuity mistake: As the bus is approaching the bridge you can see out of the front windows on the top deck the car in front, a grey Rover, is about to go under the bridge, but when Blakey looks out of the front window and sees the low bridge, the Rover is approaching the bridge a second time.
