Protect Her - S1-E1

Factual error: When Jules and Hannah are talking about the financial shenanigans at Owen's firm, Jules says that the owner of Owen's company had fraudulently driven up the price of the stock before the IPO. This is impossible. The IPO is the first time the shares become tradeable.

The West Wing (1999)

365 Days - S6-E12

Factual error: When Will comes to Leo's office at the scheduled time of 6PM, the sun is shining brightly through Leo's window. Since this is the day after the State of The Union address which is mid-January, it would already be dark in DC.

Emily in Paris (2020)

Masculin FĂ©minin - S1-E2

Factual error: Emily is in Paris when her boyfriend calls from Chicago and wakes her. She asks the time which he says is 7pm, and she says 3am in Paris, which cannot be. Central European Time is 6 hours ahead of NY and 7 from Chicago. 7 pm in Chicago would be 2 AM in Paris.

Danger Close (2019)

Factual error: This is set in 1966. The soldiers are all using the Aussie version of the M16 which was introduced in Vietnam by their military in 1967 with limited use and only became more widely used somewhat later.

Suggested correction: There's no such thing as an Aussie version of the M16, they were all made in the USA by Colt, or its contractors. I assume the poster means the M16A1, identifiable by the bolt assist lug on the right hand side and closed flash suppressor.

Before We Go (2014)

Factual error: While Evans and Eve are still in Grand Central they overhear an announcement which states "According to Port Authority policy This station will be closing for the evening." Grand Central is not part of the NY/NJ Port Authority. Also Grand Central is a terminal, not a station, as trains do not pass through Grand Central, they enter and turn around.

Love Actually (2003)

Factual error: Daniel and Sam are prevented access to the gate area by a security guard at Heathrow who is sitting at a desk and yet when Joanna comes back through to kiss Sam, the guard station is unmanned. This position would always be guarded.

Castle (2009)

Recoil - S5-E13

Factual error: The team is discussing the location of the Widmark hotel which the detective says is downtown. Beckett then looks at the map and locates it only 5 blocks from E 72nd street, which is UPTOWN in NYC. Furthermore the map shows E 72 intersecting Broadway which is on the west side of Manhattan. This entire mapping exercise is incorrect.

Show generally

Factual error: In Season 9/episode 21, Alan is staying at Lindsey's house when he goes to the basement to solve an electrical problem. He is electrocuted by a fuse box but fuse boxes were replaced by circuit breakers beginning in the 1950s. Lindsey's house as seen in a previous exterior shot is of modern vintage.
