BBC One’s new crime drama Blue Lights kicked off on Monday night (March 27), exploring the challenges faced by police in Northern Ireland. The six episode series follows the journeys of three rookies, but eagle-eyed viewers were quick to spot an error with the main character, Grace Ellis (played by Sian Brooke).
In the episode Grace, who had left her job as a social worker to join the police, tries to help Angela (Valene Kane). Viewers learnt that Angela's son had become very familiar with a gang after he crashed a stolen car that belonged to gang leader James McIntyre (John Lynch), the Express reports.
As Grace explain to Angela that the criminal was on the terrorism and organised crime watchlist, she soon realised her son was in danger. As it became clearer that Angela was hiding something, viewers later spotted her branding a knife at her neighbours in the street.

Despite police warning her that Angela's erratic behaviour was bait to lure them in, Grace refused to leave and calmed her down with the mum eventually arrested. But at the police station she was soon released after being called out of bounds as a result of her son's gang connections.
Due to the rainy weather, Grace offered Angela a lift home in her Audi, which despite initial hesitance she agreed to. While the pair were in the car they conversed about what was happening with Angela's son, but fans quickly spotted an error.
Angela was initially shown to get into an Audi when she was picked up, but once inside the steering wheel's logo showed it to be a different make of car.
Ukrubberstamper said: “#bluelights - Towards the end one minute it's an Audi in the rain next minute they are in a Skoda, then when you see it drive off it's an Audi again! That was a second-rate afternoon show at best. Not good @BBCOne”
JohnSco70858790 added: “BlueLights. So picked up in an Audi. Which turns out to be a Skoda on the drop off…tv bloopers at its best.”
Ollie_olly_olly commented: “Inside the car is a Skoda but outside it’s a Audi”
A synopsis for the upcoming episode teases the team is faced with more issues all related to the drug rings in Belfast.
