10 Recent TV Show Mistakes You Won't Believe
10. The Misspelling Of A Lancashire Town - The Crown
With Netflix's The Crown focusing on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and her family, folks have understandably been quick to point out certain historical inaccuracies that have shown up in the five-season run so far.
Now sure, show creator Peter Morgan and its historical consultant Robert Lacey have openly noted how this series isn't a "historical documentary" (via Town and Country), with certain moments requiring the former to use his imagination to "join the dots" (via THR).
But there are certain elements that certainly are required to be accurate when diving into the royal story. Stuff like the spelling of certain real-life places the monarch visited during the early '90s.
During the first episode of the most recent season of The Crown, Lancashire fans of the show were excited to see none other than the little town of Morecambe make an appearance early on.
That excitement was soon replaced with bemusement, though, as it quickly became clear that someone seemingly hadn't done their research before slapping the name of the place on the side of a truck.
Here, the seaside town was hilariously misspelt as "Morecombe", with folks online being quick to mercilessly poke fun at such an easily fixed error once Imelda Staunton's Elizabeth II showed up at Lancashire's Warton Dairies factory to deliver a speech (via Lancashire Telegraph).
