Films and TV
I seem to have been watching TV with an unusual eye for detail recently.
Yesterday, in watching the early Fred Astaire / Ginger Rogers film Roberta, I spotted two scenes that were very clearly picked up in Singing in the Rain. And then watching the first part of Love Actually, I spotted Marcus Brigstock. I hadn't seen either of these on previous viewings.
In the Sherlock Holmes Blue Carbuncle story yesterday, there was an error (by the programme makers, not by Holmes or Conan Doyle - although these do exist in the books!) Holmes was drawing inferences about a hat's wearer from the condition of its lining - which, when we caught a glimpse of it, looked far too fresh.
And in a recent Poirot, there was one definite continuity error (his bow tie changed in a scene, then changed back); and a possible one (the same programme seemed to be set in both 1932 and 1936).
ETA: Which reminds me of a note in Unfinished Tales which I doubted. I will dig it out.
