London's Burning (1988)

5 mistakes in season 10

(3 votes)

Starring: Glen Murphy

Genres: Drama

Episode #10.4 - S10-E4

Other mistake: The fire at the used cars dealership recycles several shots from the petrol station fire in Series 6 episode 7. These include shots of burning petrol on the ground and a Renault car with the registration mark B649 CLY exploding.

Episode #10.10 - S10-E10

Other mistake: During the shout at the beginning, when the workman is hanging dangerously close over the electricity transformer, Nick is informed by the electricity board that they cannot get closer than 15 feet without it arcing. So why isn't the transformer arcing when the workman is hanging just under a foot from it?

Episode #10.13 - S10-E13

Revealing mistake: Obvious CGI flames were used during the science lab fire, because when the teacher knocks over the Bunsen burner onto the flammable liquids, parts of the workbench instantly catch fire that were nowhere near the liquids.

Episode #10.15 - S10-E15

Revealing mistake: The shout where the paedophile's car gets petrol-bombed was done using CGI. The flames are not consistent between shots and there is no smoke whatsoever.

Episode #10.15 - S10-E15

Continuity mistake: When Billy and Sicknote go upstairs after their encounter with Pitbull, they go upstairs to change into uniform. The camera follows them upstairs. The appliance bay has no other firefighters present. When the camera pans back down, a full roll-call is taking place in the appliance bay, including Billy and Sicknote who just went upstairs to change few seconds earlier. This was probably done intentionally but it sure does look ridiculous.
