Factual error: It's Christmas Eve 1925. Tommy and his son leave a mince pie for 'Santa and Rudolph', but there was no reindeer called Rudolph until the 1930s. The character's author hadn't even graduated by 1925, and only began writing a book about a red-nosed reindeer in 1939.
Factual error: Lord Stamfordham has a paper before him headed 'London Constabulary Police'. There was no such thing.
Factual error: Michael's impending 18th birthday is often mentioned as the time he becomes an adult and can make his own decisions. The age of majority in 1922 (and until 1970) was 21.
Grace Burgess: You think I am a whore?
Tommy Shelby: Everyone's a whore, Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.
Episode #1.5 - S1-E5
Trivia: Tommy Flanagan plays Arthur Shelby Sr, father to Arthur (Paul Anderson) and Tommy (Cillian Murphy). In real life, Flanagan is only 11 years older than Murphy and 13 years older than Anderson. (Incidentally, Arthur is 3 years older than Tommy despite Anderson being 2 years younger than Murphy).
Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Question: In the street scene with the three brothers leaving in a car for London, the car has 'Fiat' the grille. In the next scene with the car, there is nothing on the grille. Could they have had this car, at that time? After all there was mention of 'Bugatti' at least he beginning of the same episode. Would a Lanchester made in Sparkbrook be more likely?
