Continuity mistake: When Ambrose and Rosalind are sat outside the pub, you see Ambrose walking over with an amber-coloured full pint, and a full glass of water. When he arrives at the table, the pint glass is half full, looking like a dark mild/stout, and the glass of water is only two-thirds full. (00:53:47)

Trivia: Towards the end of the race, they stop outside a pub, which has ten minutes before it opens. This pub is on the corner of the High Street and Station Approach in West Drayton, and would not be on the journey between Brighton and Westminster Bridge, London. It was likely used as it is fairly close to Pinewood Studios, approx. 5 miles away. (01:11:41 - 01:16:18)
