Goofs and Gaffes - Genesis - The face at the pub window

By Rich Cross Last updated on 21 December 2020, 12:50:17

As Jenny and Tom argue, an unseen face appears in the background...

Where are we?: Tom Price is looting himself a better life. Loading up a stack of shirts into his new Rolls Royce, he meets Jenny for a second time. He's adamant that the 'Yanks'll have something' before abandoning her once again.

What's the goof?: As Lucy Fleming and Talfryn Thomas argue, a face appears in the window of the pub on the opposite side of the street (in the centre of Lydney, in the Forest of Dean). This is another instance when you need to rewatch the scene in real-time to really capture the moment.
