A couple of weeks ago we decided to get with the programme and binge watch Peaky Blinders.
We're currently on Season 5, in 1929, and there was a scene where Polly drove off in the family Rolls Royce after starting the car with a key.
This made me wonder if there had been a continuity error, as I was convinced that the electric starter was an artefact from the late 30s.
I did a Google search and discovered that the electric starter was patented in 1903, which surprised me, as this was 5 years before the first mass produced car from Ford.
