Bridgerton
Bridgerton viewers have taken to Twitter to point out some historical blunders in season one.
They pulled the show up on a number of mistakes; from a Primark poster to a yellow line on the road.
Did you notice these mistakes?

The series is set in the early 1800s in England.
During a scene filmed around The Royal Crescent in Bath, fans noticed yellow parking lines visible on the road.
Markings like these weren't introduced until years later.

One Twitter user said, 'Oh dear, modern yellow no parking lines on the street in the tv drama 'Bridgerton'.'
'I've worked on a few films/tv shows as historical consultant and art department, I remember our lot painting over modern white lines on a street or covering the whole street with earth'

Other viewers claimed they also spotted a Primark poster.
One Twitter user said, 'You will also spot a Primark poster, a single yellow line parking restriction and a parking sign on a lamppost.'
'Down pipes on the front of buildings which would not have been there and a modern day doorbell.'
That’s nothing.

Still a great one to watch though. #bridgerton

Others however, aren't fazed

One Twitter user hilariously wrote, 'Something wrong with people if they are focusing on the yellow lines on the roads, hidden primark signs and pipe work going down the buildings.'
'Instead of focusing on the pure beauty of The Duke'

So apparently people have been saying the couldn't watch @bridgerton because of the yellow parking lines on the road and other historical inaccuracies. Not being funny right but I think you've been focusing on the wrong thing. #TheDuke

I’m sorry but if you sit down to watch Bridgerton (or anything for that matter) and this is what you come away with you’d want to consider getting a new hobby. Who knew when yellow road lines were invested?? https://t.co/pq7Ih3gKDm
