Starring: Yannick Bisson, Helene Joy, Jonny Harris, Thomas Craig
Continuity mistake: In the 1st 5 or 6 seasons the inspector introduces himself as Thomas S Brackenreid. Later he becomes Thomas C Brackenreid.
Continuity mistake: In some scenes in the show, Murdoch's bicycle has a headlight, only for it to be missing in subsequent scenes, then back.
Home for the Holidays - S11-E1
Other mistake: Only one set of prints were said to be on the garrote but in the last episode of season 10 Graham handles the garrote before handing it over to the murderer without wearing gloves. So there should have been 2 sets of prints.
Question: Why does Murdoch's bike not have a ring bell or horn? He is often seen cycling through the busy streets at high speed to arrive on a scene ASAP but never uses any sound warning apart from yelling occasionally - which looks pretty awkward for an official person.
Answer: It's certainly a personal choice about using one, and probably similar to how some people refuse to wear a helmet or forego other safety equipment. Most bells and horns on bikes are not very loud and probably wouldn't be heard in busy traffic, making them mostly ineffective. Murdoch would likely still yell, even if he had a bell or horn.
