It’s quite funny watching foreign tv shows that have scenes set in your country.
I know that TV shows don’t have the budget to get the production crew to the place were the scene is set and it doesn’t detract from what I’m watching, but I can’t help but notice the things that are not quite right.
Like the architecture of the buildings.
Or woodland where they shouldn’t be (like next to Stonehenge, or close to Buckingham Palace)
Or ‘the crown jewels’ being a single crown (where was the rest of items?)
Gorilla “Mjukuu” and her baby “Alika” check out a measuring device in an enclosure during a photocall at London Zoo on August 24, 2017, to promote the zoo’s annual weigh-in event. During the weigh-in, animals across the zoo have their vital statistics recorded including their height and weight and the information is then shared with zoos across the world to help zookeepers compare important information on thousands of endangered species.
