'Bridgerton' viewers spot a historical mistake in scenes - CNN
Some fans of the hit Netflix series "Bridgerton" noticed a bit of modern scenery in the Regency era drama.
"Two episodes into #Bridgerton and I've so far spotted a single yellow line and a telecoms manhole cover," one eagle-eye viewer tweeted."I didn't realise the 19th Century Brits were such pioneers..."
Indeed, dear reader, the notion of yellow lines on the road didn't originate until the 1940s, according to a 1997 article from the Independent, a UK newspaper.Another viewer tweeted that he spotted posters for the retail chain, Primark, in some windows featured in the show's scenes.The chain opened in 1969."Bridgerton" is based on the first in a series of romance novels by Julia Quinn.Netflix has announced the show will return for a second season.
