Watching Elementary, season 7 and the continuity errors are AAAAAARRGGHHHHH!!!!!

Some glaringly obvious, some obvious to any Bit and some maybe only obvious to people who know.

A North American air conditioning unit (ie suspended outside at height, nope).

‘Lobby’, no, in the U.K. that would be ‘Ground Floor’.

Baker Street, London has changed massively. In that 221a and 221b are now massive.

A British police car with a forward facing red light!? rare but not unheard of.

The car in the background has a very unfortunate Battenburg livery. The Metropolitan Police logo could of been done so much better, so much easier with just a Google search.

RV62, that would make the car a 2012 registered in Reading, Berkshire. On a car that is no older than a 2006. A car claiming to be a Metropolitan Police vehicle some 35 miles away out of it’s jurisdiction.

My favourite.

The stupid thing is it’s not like there isn’t a British Metropolitan Police liveried BMW 3 Series in New York.

The Metropolitan Police (aka Jack Pack) take part in the New York half marathon in Central Park to raise money for the MET Police Children’ s Cancer Charity.

PVL livery a vehicle for them.

!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!

The BMW 3 series, pictured, is a battenburg kit to match the Met Police specification in Reflexite VC612 high visibility material. The vehicle led the 103 police offic ers through Central Park , New York. To find out more about the JACK PACK charity please visit:

It is normally set in New York. I would assume these are from just an episode or two and they weren’t going to move production to the UK just for that.

Elementary i s pretty much a U.S. themed show, I suspect they were saving costs as the story is the captains daughter killed someone and it’s made it look like Joan did it, Sherlock coughed up to it to take the suspicion away from Joan and fled to the U.K. and Joan followed. Only Joan is homesick from America, so I guess they’ll be going back to the U.S. soon.

The U.S. has a thing for shooting some scene s ‘from the U.K.’ in Canada or America using incredibly poor continuity and old or JDM cars for props.

In La Femme Nikita TV series (the one with Maggie Q) , they used a street in Canada with simply the cars driving on the left and left everything else the same. At least in the old The Saint days, they reversed all the signs and and then shot the scenes, then reversed the reel so it looked like they were driving a LHD car on the right when they were driving a RHD car on the left.
