Day 1195 (04/04/2013)

There have been a few articles in the press recently pointing out historic errors in programs like Call The Midwife, Foyles War, Downtown Abbey etc.


OK if you happen to know that the route-master bus shown in Foyles War was not designed until 3 years later than the episode is set, then fair enough, but F**K OFF and get a life you sad git.

Does it mater, its a bus from around that time and looks right. It was 60 years ago, who cares if they are a few years out either way.

I'm currently enjoying Broadchurch, the murder enquiry police drama on ITV. In the first episode the production team had obviously gone to the trouble to create the twitter account shown as being used by the journalist but couldn't really send out a tweet about the murdered boy being found on the beach. Unless I'm very much mistaken there was a little padlock symbol on the account page signifying it was a private account, where followers have to be allowed but later this message was referred to as having been all around the village. Does it spoil my enjoyment of the program, NO.

I love watching Morse & Lewis but are they anything like a real police murder enquiry, NO, but I love the tone and the pace of the program.

I love watching Scott & Bailey, is it accurate, mostly yes. Does it matter if they get a few things wrong, NO, it's a drama not a documentary.

End of rant.
