A Hitch in Time (1978)

Continuity mistake: When Fiona and Paul first go inside the castle and rescue the professor from his time machine, they are standing talking to the prof. Fiona is on the left and Paul is on the right. The angle changes, and Paul and Fiona have swapped places. Another angle change, and Fiona and Paul are back in their original positions.

Gently in the Night - S2-E2

Factual error: As Gently drives to the holiday camp at speed, he nearly collides with an MG 1100. Although the MG 1100 was introduced in 1962, this particular one is a two-door model, which wasn't added to the range until 1967, three years after this episode is set.

Episode #17.18 - S17-E18

Factual error: Justine and Maria are in Justine's bedroom. Justine is showing Maria the photos on her bedroom wall of her family and school friends. There is a photo of Banksie and Zammo on the wall. These two boys left Grange Hill at the end of series 10. Justine started in series 11, so she would not have known them.
