Episode 70 - S4-E1

Revealing mistake: Toward the end of the episode, Bert receives an envelope with pictures of him and Danny at a motel with some women. As they look at photos, Bert hands Danny some photos. Danny crosses left. Bert turns stack of photos over and says there is a note. He reads note and turns photos back over afterwards. The backs of the photos are blank. Danny crosses right to Bert holding photos. You can see on the back of Danny's photos the note Bert just read from the other side of the room.

Factual error: In the first scene, the raid on the gambling party, the policemen all wear white shirts. The scene is set in 1958 and the Metropolitan Police did not switch from blue shirts to white until c.1970.

Other mistake: When the throne in episode 5 & 6 is first introduced it is a normal throne or chair; it doesn't move when merely touched. But once the ceremony starts and after it's finished, it's suddenly a swivel chair. The base is never shown of course. But a swivel chair made of solid rock...?
