Inconsistencies or plot holes in films

I have heard him referred to as "George Pig" once or twice

sorry - can;t remember the episodes but if you watch them all - in sequence - I'm sure you will find them

let us know!

His full name is "My Little Brother George".

What were Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig known as before Peppa and George were born???

(sometimes I worry about the things I wonder about)

And have you noticed you never see Daddy Pig and Ross Brawn at the same time…?

While re watching Breaking Bad, a flashback of Walt and his former collegue / lover Gretchen discussing the chemicals we're all made from, Walt seems to over do his wonder and ponders too much exactly which elements.
They are supposedly some of the finest minds of their time in that field...they'd have rattled them off almost without thinking.

Not very convincing....

The thing that I hated in Breaking Bad was him stealing hydrofluoric acid from school to dissolve a body. HF is a horribly dangerous chemical and whilst I am admittdly unfamiliar with American high school labs it is inconceivable they'd have it at all, never mind enough to dissolve a corpse.

A pal of mine was a post-doc in a University working on silicon chip fabrication which needs HF for part of the process. No one was allowed to use it without a special training course - and this guy's already got a PhD so not a high school teenager. He avoided doing the course as he was quite happy to be nowhere near the stuff and he's not one to be easily intimidated

Got some tubes of HF gel in the cupboard at work, like this..

Would need quite a bit to dissolve a body though lol

Don't try to dissolve a body with HF in a plastic bath.

Don't try to dissolve a body with HF in a plastic bath.

Or a glass bowl.

During the (circa)1990 joyriding craze, the papers had warnings not to touch burnt-out cars

Something about HF acid residue that would burn through skin and bone, and was so difficult to neutralise that amputation might be the only option!

Plastic, well, some plastics anyway, are OK with HF. It's glass (or vitreous enamel) is the isse

I too have heard that, but I am somewhat skeptical, as HF would (presumably?) only be produced from any telflon present in the car - I suspect not much. Open to be corrected by anyone more knowledgeable - as opposed to someone repeating some dodgy factoid

Indeed ! That would be a bad idea

Possibly generated if the fire was extinguished with a BCF extinguisher?

I was sceptical too, and had forgotten the chemistry, but yes - it was something to do with teflon, if I recall.

Mot that it mattered. I was in my 20s, so hardly going to be playing in burnt out cars!

Why is everyone buried in a churchyard rather than cremated in crime dramas? Surely a crematorium would be preferable to prevent further forensic investigations or to stop the police discovering that the relatives have misidentified the body in a cumning plot.
