Eagle-eyed fans of Bridgerton have spotted a few historical blunders throughout the show.
The hit Netflix show has been a phenomenon across the globe with 63 million households across the world seeing what the fuss is about.
However, with so many eyes on the series, it’s only natural that someone will spot something a little off. Some fans have taken to Twitter to point out some of the historical inaccuracies on the show.
One pointed out that there are painted yellow lines on the street in the show’s opening scenes – a feature that definitely wasn’t around in the early 1800s:
One fan of the Regency-set show did spot one little filming gaffe – a yellow line – and it happens in the very first scene of the show.
The painted line on the side of the road is spotted as carriages travel around Bath’s Royal Crescent, towards the palace where Queen Charlotte awaits their arrival.
As the first season of
Bridgerton is set in 1813, the yellow line is an interesting sight because lines like that weren’t seen for over 100 years later.
Two episodes into #Bridgerton and I ve so far spotted a single yellow line and a telecoms manhole cover. I didn t realise the 19th Century Brits were such pioneers… pic.twitter.com/6RgUeZ8l8a
