Show generally

Character mistake: When Pat goes to Roy Evans' car showroom to complain about the dodgy car he sold to her son David, she asks Roy if he has any children. Roy replies that he has two sons which was true, but at this time Roy didn't know he had a second son, Nathan, conceived years before when Roy had an affair with his secretary Doreen. He only found out years later when Nathan turned up to tell Roy that Doreen was terminally ill. When Roy was speaking to Pat he only knew about his first son and business partner Barry.

Suggested correction: We don't hear the whole conversation. Herbie says "I thought you might like to meet him." Then it cuts to Mr. Kirby. He says "I think so" and is writing something down, but we don't hear what Herbie is saying. Then when he's finished writing he asks "what time?" It's safe to say Herbie was giving him the address and he was writing it down before being told "3:00."

Suggested correction: Generally, people aren't thinking too forwardly or rationally when someone they're pursuing is about to get away. Their lizard-brain just thinks "getting away -> chase," not considering how unlikely (though not impossible) it is for them to either catch up with the car before it fully accelerates or when it makes a turn, then either pull the driver out of the car or jump on the car.

The person acts on instinct. Many people would do the same in real life.
