Ripper Street

I Need Light - S1-E1

Factual error: Inspector Reid calls Inspector Abberline "Chief Inspector." Frank Abberline was not promoted to Chief Inspector until 1890 but the episode takes place in 1889. (00:16:05)

Occurrence Reports - S5-E6

Factual error: Everyone celebrates the beginning of the new century at midnight on 31 December 1899. In fact, the beginning of the 20th century was celebrated (correctly) at midnight on 31 December 1900. In those days people still knew that a decade (and a century) begins with a year 1, not a year 0.
