1 revealing mistake in The Maggie's Redress
Starring: Michael Weston, Stephen Mangan, Emily Carey, Rebecca Liddiard
Factual error: The show starts in 1901 with a woman constable working for the Metropolitan Police Service (Scotland Yard). However women didn't join the Metropolitan Police until 1919 (which is also when the first woman's police uniform was created). Prior to that, women volunteered in the Women's Police Service, but that wasn't formed until 1914.
