Noticed Smith and Jones the insurance men demanding 50 pounds a month but Gary immediately explained that they asked for 100.

Hi “) This isn’t an error really, but it’s something I only recently noticed in the very first episode, despite watching the show from start to finish several times. Season 6 episode 6, “Just in Time”, is where a workman appears in the Blitz and Pieces yard, talking about time portals and frequencies. He eventually leads Gary to believe that his time portal from 90s to 40s will be closed permanently. Now going back to the very first episode, where Gary is walking through the market towards the Royal Oak for the very first time - he actually passes this very same workman in the blue overalls! Gary obviously doesn’t notice as he hasn’t yet realised he’s in the 40s. Lovely bit of continuity for the die hard fans :-) just wondered if anyone else had ever noticed?

I noticed this last week. I just thought that in episode 1 the guy was just an extra and had worked his way up the ladder to get a real part!

Not sure if I'm just confusing faces but is the doctor that looks after Yvonne when she loses the baby in S4 episode 6 the same actor that plays the bank manager where Ron and Gary believe they will become rich putting money into an audio firm?

There was a comment Gary makes to Phoebe about being turned away for a party at the gates of Buckingham palace but she seems confused that there were no gates. I've seen wartime pictures with gates though?!

Hi. In Series 2/E9. Let Yourself Go, they travel to the country and encounter yanks, who have now entered the war. This must be 1942 as the yanks didn’t join in until after Pearl harbour, 7th Dec 1941. Yet in the next episode 2/10 Don’t Fence Me In, Gary says 1941 here I come, before jumping from the portacabin.?

I worked out a few weeks back that Gary Sparrow was born on 1st November 1962.
In the 2016 re-boot, Gary thumps the TV and it bursts into life showing the Soviet navy sailing away from Cuba, the reporter says that this is was done on orders from Khrushchev. This happened on Sunday 28th October 1962, a few seconds later Gary is heard to mutter that he has to be at the hospital the next Thursday to see himself born.

For those of us who are complete anoraks and trainspotters, here is a thread for discussing errors/anomalies/continuity issues etc. I’ll start us off with a few (these were all raised on the old forum, so apologies for the duplication, but I just wanted to have a place here on the new forum for bloopers, cos I find them fascinating!) Nice one I love this stuff!

In one of the later series, Yvonne suggests to Gary that he buys a mobile phone so that she can call him whenever she likes when he's away at his "collector's fairs". Gary resists the idea, for obvious reasons. But in a much earlier series, when he gets arrested by the present day "Reg" for getting into his car whilst drunk, he calls Yvonne on his mobile to tell her. Nice one, I hadn't notice this one! Works phone maybe?

For Gary to go back to 1888, he had to go through the portal in the "wrong" direction from the 1940's, ie. he had to go through the portal twice - the first time took him from the present day to the 1940's, and then the second time took him from the 1940's to the 1880's. So when he went back through the portal from the 1880's surely he should have found himself in the 1940's? And then he'd have to walk round and go through it again to get to the present day. But when he and jack the ripper went through the portal from the 1880's they went straight to the backyard of blitz & pieces in the present day. Yeah that one's puzzled me as well!

How come, in the later series, a brick wall went up in ducketts passage in the forties? This doesn’t make sense, because if the brick wall went up in the forties how come it wasn't there in 1993 ? They could mess about with ducketts as much as they liked in the present day (which they did, by introducing ducketts plaza and the shop etc) but you can’t put a wall up in the forties can you? Cos it wasn’t there in 1993! Surely the wall could have been demolished any time after the 1940's up until, say, 1990, before the point that Gary discovers he can time-travel. Just a thought

I believe they just meet one yank properly, the one who fancies Phoebe, and he says he volunteered to come over and fight before US are properly in the war. Something along those lines. I have an error that I don't believe anyone has mentioned. My memory is a bit vague so please correct me if I'm wrong. When Ron does up the US Army Jeep he says it's for his family member who was like a father to him after his parents died. But in season 5, Ron says someone called him an overweight scouser. Then Gary says, just some drunk tart, and Ron replies, 'it was my mother'.

I'm currently watching this again, good old britbox, in the episode where he has to move out of the flat because of the upcoming bus accident, I'm sure the flat number was either 14 or 15, but in season 6, when reg takes over as the porter or whatever you say, I'm sure when reg recites a message to Gary from Phoebe he says number 27, unless they moved flats.

So I finished it, watched the 2016 special, and I've had to start it again, it's just so good, however, now im back at the start I've noticed how much Gary's accent changes, he sounds very much middle class, kind of BBC accent later on, yet at the beginning he has a much more, I don't want to say common, but more of a working class non descript slight London ish accent.
