There's a plastic water bottle on the mantlepiece in Downton Abbey.

Daenerys Targaryen was a lover of skinny caramel latte with a double decaf shot.

in Moonflower Murders, Atticus Pund's assistant Madelaine states that it would be impossible to stroll on a certain beach after 6pm because the tide is always high.

You can see a car in a Braveheart battle scene.

That's the least of Braveheart's historical inaccuracy problems.

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

That guttering and drainpipe look remarkably modern as well.

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

That's as maybe but they were both flat broke so could never have afforded it

I suspect that was product placement

I thought tides came in at night?

"Time and tide waits for no man" as the proverb has it. It doesn't respect the time of day either

We watched this earlier. I'm generally the anti-pedant w.r.t. to fiction and entertainment, but this really was a howler, and I had to zip my lips to avoid irritating my sofa co-dweller!

Watching Joe Pickett.

It's great to see Warden Pickett out in his pickup truck protecting wildlife and fighting crime. Indeed, he fights so much crime he is regularly using the radio mounted atop the dash in his truck to speak to the Sheriff.

Shame there's no antenna plugged into the rear, the empty socket being clearly visible with the through-windsdreen shots.

You're right:

The Moon and Earth exert a gravitational pull on each other. On Earth, the Moon's gravitational pull causes the oceans to bulge out on both the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges create high tides. The low points are where low tides occur.

You can see cars in the background on some of the shots in The Railway Children.

Wait for no man ...

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.

Pat was also the big bloke in the Nepal bar fight. It became a 'running gag' in the Indiana Jones films he'd die horribly each time....

 

[MontyVeda]

The opening scene of Until I Kill You shows our protagonist riding her bike and a police constable shouts "Wear a helmet!" at her... since it's set in 1991, I thought this highly unlikely.
