This shows just how sad I am - I saw a mistake; Gladys' Yellowcoat S. 5!


I have just bought series 5 and 6 on DVD and there is a continuity error on Gladys' Yellow Coat. The logo of the staff's jackets are the letters MHC written, one on top of the other. They are on a patch on the left-breast pocket.

Gladys' patch is upside down; if you look carefully, the C is backwards and the M is actually a W.

Sorry; now I'm off to get a life.

Toodle-Pip!

LOL! It seems I must need to get a life too because I've just watched the DVD and noticed that myself! Surely the programme makers must've noticed that themselves as "Gladys" wears the jacket with the upside down badge in a couple of episodes.

I'm joining the club. Watched S5 today and noticed that too. Must have got sewn on upside-down in the wardrobe department!

Well 35 years after the show was first broadcast and nearly 10 years after this thread was started I too am being distracted by Gladys' jacket pocket badge :)

Currently watching series 6 and once you spot it it is very distracting. Exterior or interior shots there it is... Gladys' and her 'Waplins' badge. It's so obvious that it must have been noticed during filming but I guess production crew assumed the viewers wouldn't notice. But I have noticed it and now can't stop looking at it everytime Gladys is in a scene.

Still, there's worse things to look at than Gladys Pugh's breast pocket :)
