When Bill and his son are exiting the car on the Ghost Train dark ride, they stand there and talk to Bill's son's nanny. The next car exiting the ride has two women who get up and leave the car. A few moments later, another car exits the ride, and the same two women stand up and leave the car.
In the movie, several people in North London contract "typhus" from contaminated water. Evidently the script confused "typhus" and "typhoid fever." Typhus is spread by parasites, such as fleas or mites; not contaminated water. Typhoid fever can be spread by contaminated food or water.
At the 'peace' rally there is sign mistakenly using the Mercedes logo instead of the peace sign.
The solar eclipse could not possibly be advanced in time by eleven days, unless the moon was accelerated along its orbit. What would happen, and what would have been believably portrayed in the movie, was for the track of the eclipse to be shifted to another part of the Earth. The eclipse would have been expected much further south, but since the earth's axis was shifted, moving London closer to the monsoon belt, it also shifted it under the eclipse path so that London, instead of not being in the path at all, ended up in at least the path of partiality, if not the center of the path where totality would occur.
The distance between England and Siberia is such that a seismic event in one would take several hours to be felt in the other, but when the nuclear bombs are detonated in Siberia, the shock wave hits England almost immediately after.
In the film, two simultaneous nuclear explosions tilt the Earth's axis and change its orbit trajectory. The Earth is in fact far too massive to be moved appreciably by any man-made explosion.
The "Daily Mail" piece headlined "Met. office girl on secrets charge" seems to be about former US President Eisenhower.
Only the extreme left-hand side of Peter Stenning's article "If you find your TV set has developed a nasty measle rash" is about sunspots, as per the dialogue. The remainder is a review of a newly-released book on jazz, referencing John Dankworth and Benny Green.
When we see foreign newspapers lying haphazardly on the pavement reporting the climatic catastrophes there is one scene with a German newspaper (presumably lying somewhere on a German street), but it is actually lying on a British pavement as proven by the Post Office telephones manhole cover next to it.
We see a copy of the "New York Daily Record" - but a later edition of the "Daily Mail" is dated to June. (The Express detailing water rationing plans is dated Friday July 27th 1962.)
Miss Evans picks up the phone in Jefferson's office and tells Jefferson "Professor Chakovski (sp?) is on the phone." Then a slightly different-sounding dubbed-in woman's voice says "just a minute, please," but Evans' mouth doesn't move. (Approximately 42:30.)
The multiple camera lights are visible by the reflections on the body of Stennings' car when he drives to Jeannies flat and pulls up behind the parked Police car. The lights are also reflected on the body of the police car too.

The editor points out locations of strange events on a flat world map on the wall and then shows how they are in a straight line on that map, i.e., co-linear. But straight lines on a flat map do not correspond to straight lines on the surface of a sphere (except if they are latitude and longitude lines on a map that preserves them), so the facts these points are co-linear on the flat map is meaningless.
