Factual error: All UK driving test instructors must wear a yellow reflective waistcoat or jacket while instructing someone during their driving test. This was still true in 2002 when the film was shot. Submitted by Scrappy
Continuity: In the scene after the half-time break in the International Tournement, Cliff Starkey has been to the sea to retrieve his "English Plasic and Asda bag" Bowls and starts playing with these again to improve his game and his luck. When we then see lots of shots of the UK Bowls smashing the Aussie bowls out of the way, (as we make a storming fightback) they are back to the blue ones again. Then it cuts back to the last few ends and he has the black plastic back.
Factual error: In the scene in which Ray Speight is instructing Majorie during her driving test, we see him counting down to when he is going to call for an emergency stop. Actual instructors are not allowed to do a count down. They first tell the driver that they will be performing the emergency stop along a stretch of road, and then call it by placing their hand on the dashboard and calling out "STOP".
