    • Goof: When McAngus empties his bag on the table and the head falls on it we see the back of the head is turned against the camera.

  • add

    The Archbishop

    Season 1, Ep 3
    • Goof: When the old man is dying he said he killed his father and Edmund said "I know how you feel". King Richard III wasnt his father, Richard IV is.
    • Prince Harry: I don't know how I'm going to break it to his catamite.

      For those who weren't previously aware, a catamite was often a young boy used for a priest's sexual gratification.
    • Historical error: Harry and Edmund discuss the mass "accidental deaths" of past archbishops of Cantebury. Apart from Thomas Beckett's famous 1170 murder, most archbishops (even between 1485 to 1498) led prosperous lives.
