• Continuity: The boys order coffee at the Packhorse Café. The waitress pours the coffee into two cups and slides the cups towards the boys across the counter without spilling the coffee. Travis adds sugar to his coffee from a sugar tin. He spills some sugar and several small drops of coffee onto the counter. The spoon is left in the sugar can pointing towards the café entrance door. The boys then take their coffees away from the counter and walk towards the tables. The next shot shows the waitress standing behind the counter watching the boys. There is now a long streak of coffee on the counter which wasn't there before and the spoon in the sugar can is now pointing in a different direction. There is also no sugar spilt on the counter and no small drops of coffee either.

• Factual errors: We are told by a house master, towards the start of the film, that this is the Winter Term (Sep-Dec). English Public Schools, such as the one portrayed, use and have always used their pitches to play rugby during the winter term, yet shots of (Cheltenham) College show hockey goals set up; however hockey is exclusively played in the Spring Term.
