The blunder was first noticed during a scene at Emma Barton’s (played by Gillian Kearney) house when her sons joined her in the living room.
On the clock behind the murderer, it read 5.50, yet seconds earlier Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) had said he didn’t want to drink alcohol because it was only 9.30 in the morning.
It seems that the crew failed to remember to turn the clock to its correct time.
Fans immediately took to social media when they spotted the gaffe.
One posted: “Emma’s probably worrying why her clock says 5.52 when Aaron said to Adam it was 9.30 in the morning!! Continuity.”
While another one said: “#Emmerdale need to get their clock times straight. Adam says it’s 9:30 am and next minute Emma’s clock says 5:50 pm. Continuity errors!”
One viewer suggested that the error could have been on purpose however, saying: “@emmerdale Bad continuity or has the Bartons’ clock stopped?? Aaron says it’s 9.30 am, next shot, Bartons’ clock reads 10 to 6.”
Another eagle-eyed audience member also noticed that there was another time added into the mix – 2.50 – later on in the episode.
One person pointed out that timing wasn’t the only issue on the ITV show, as bosses made a huge error in regards to Rebecca’s (Emily Head) pregnancy storyline.
“@emmerdale how wrong is tonight’s episode, go for 12 week scan come out with sex of baby and 3D scan…. it’s not that hard to get right,” they tweeted angrily.
