In The Dark: Viewers spot EPIC continuity blunder amid chilling reveal
VIEWERS of TV's newest crime drama In The Dark spotted an obvious continuity error in tonight's harrowing episode.
In The Dark: Helen nervously makes her way to meet Paul
The BBC series' second episode saw DI Helen Weeks (played by MyAnna Buring) continue to struggle with her childhood trauma after returning to her hometown in Derbyshire with her partner and fellow detective Paul Hopkins (Ben Batt).
But many viewers were only interested in pointing out that the adaptation of Mark Billingham's novel featured an unfortunate faux-pas, when it became obvious that the crew member responsible for making sure the facts added up had missed that Helen can be seen driving two very different cars.
After clocking the mistake, many fans took to Twitter to share their glee.
"#bbc #InTheDark @BBC BBC Guys,Helens golf has changed reg twice in this esp..started on a 60 plate & on the way to the farm was on a 59..?" one confused person tweeted to the masses.

Love the programme but she drives two totally different cars
Another viewer shared their enjoyment for the show but admitted they couldn't look away from the error, saying: "#inthedark @BBC love the programme but she drives two totally different cars #golf #Volkswagen #yearsapart #steeringwheel #numberplate."
"@BBC watching in the dark - wondering why helen weeks' car has a different reg plate in ten mins," another person noticed.
The episode also showcased MyAnna's acting chops once more, as the 37-year-old actress gave a chilling portrayal of a woman fighting with her memories of childhood abuse, and the moment she explained the truth about her pregnancy to her devastated boyfriend Paul.
While fans are still none the wiser about the true killer, last week's offering of the show saw many people offering up their theories.
