Show all 22 1 /22The top 22 mistakes in TV shows The top 22 mistakes in TV shows The Crown - series 3 The hit Netflix show’s creator Peter Morgan takes plenty of artistic licence with this historical drama. But eagle-eyed royal fans spotted a mistake in the trailer for the third season. When Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II is shown celebrating her 1977 Silver Jubilee, the voiceover gets the date of the Queen’s coronation wrong by a year, saying the Silver jubilee was 25 years after the Coronation. It was actually 24 years, as her coronation took place on June 2, 1953.

The top 22 mistakes in TV shows Wild Bill The ITV fish-out-of-water detective drama stars Rob Lowe as a US police chief who moves to the UK to take up the role of Chief Constable with East Lincolnshire police. He wears four medal ribbons – Diamond Jubilee Medal, Golden Jubilee Medal, Queen's Police Medal and Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.

The top 22 mistakes in TV shows The X-Files Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) states that his sister Samantha was abducted by aliens but his recollections of it are contradictory.

Mulder is also seen wearing a wedding ring in the season five episode “Travellers". Why had he never mentioned being married? In reality, Duchovny had recently got married. But it added a big change to Mulder’s past.
The top 22 mistakes in TV shows Doctor Who How old is the Doctor? In the classic-era he states he’s anywhere between 500 to several thousand years old. But in the revived series, David Tennant’s Doctor claims he is 904 years old. Unless he’s lying, somewhere along the line, the continuity has slipped up.
The top 22 mistakes in TV shows The Sopranos During Ralphie’s death scene in his kitchen, Tony Soprano is almost blinded by a can of spray, but knocks Ralphie to the floor and kills him. The scene was meant to end with Tony putting his hands on the counter and gasping for air but James Gandolfini, who brilliantly plays Tony, accidentally put his hand down on the oven’s lit burners. The cry of pain was real – but this mistake worked perfectly for the scene.

The top 22 mistakes in TV shows Stranger Things The second season of the TV drama is set in October 1984 – a year after the first season. Considering the show trades in nostalgia, you would have thought they'd get the soundtrack right – but they didn’t. Mistakes include The Smith's song "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" playing in the background during a flashback between Will and Jonathan. Trouble is, this particular Smiths song wasn't released until 1986. There was also a motoring error: Barb's Volkswagon Cabrio was actually made in 1988.

But Howard should know this considering he was there when Leonard blew it up. This is revealed during a flash back in a later episode, where it also states that the event took place five years ago, not two.
