They Did Their Homework!

I was watching the current episode of the detective drama "Take Two". A person was murdered, strangled. One detective said by a garrote and the Medical Examiner said that it was first used by the Romans in the first century B.C.. The Wiki article confirms that.

 

So often however I see tv shows where they make the simplest errors which just a little research could have corrected!

It happened again! I was watching an episode of "The Stu Erwin Show" from 1951. In passing it was mentioned a biography of Queen Victoria by a man with the surname Lee. And indeed it's true!
