Life on Mars.

Watching on DVD the other day I noticed a modern AC unit on a house wall.

In Die Hard, it was lucky for Hans that he removed the silencer from his pistol as he interrogates Takagi. The pistol, a Heckler & Koch P7M13, isn't able to have one fitted. Meaning that it must have been fitted internally, in the barrel. This would have made it useless, at best, if left in place, liable to blow up in his hand, at worst if he'd fired it with it fitted.

Saving Private Ryan. Some of the tank traps/obstacles on the beach un the opening scene are racing the wrong way. Oops.

Not so fast. There was a H&K approved supressor kit by B&T which included an extended threaded barrel. Without the can fitted there is an ugly bit of thread at the front.

There are currently two American tourists in 'The Archers' who keep saying 'Britain' and 'British'. Americans invariably use the words 'England' and 'English' instead.

In Indiana Jones the protagonist becomes embroiled ina fistfight with a hulking great nazzie played by Big Pat Roach.

This is a serious plot hole and Pat Roach would have easily torn out Harrison Ford's spine and beat him to deal with it in a real fight.

Del Boy made it into The Eagle Has Landed!

TBF, Indy was taking an absolute pasting and was going to get killed if it hasn't been for the plane spinning round.

The fact that most car scenes were shot on the newly constructed M25.

Withnail's battered old banger Jag would have been pretty much brand new at the time it is supposedly set

That would have been typical of the poor Jaguar build quality at the time

You can see a car in a Braveheart battle scene.

In Poldark there's an 18th century cottage with a burglar alarm.
