In last night's Coronation Street there was a scene set in The Kabin where Gemma was talking to Henry Newton. In one shot the sign on the Kabin door said it was Open. And then in the next shot it said it was Closed.
As Coronation Street produces six episodes a week now, it's understandable that some things might go wrong, like this, as they're clearly working on a schedule that must be pretty non-stop.
But to not care about the details? Unforgivable.
And when Eileen's front door decided to jam one minute and then open fine the next, combined with the Kabin error above, I wasn't sure if I was watching an episode of Corrie or Acorn Antiques.
Come on Corrie, you know you can do better than this.

it doesn't matter because from the outside view the sign was hanging below the sticker on the door & was obscured.
Hardly the point...
They COULD do better than this... If they were allowed to work to a decent schedule.
Yes, I've noticed several continuity issues, particularly when they change the camera looking over someone's head and the angle changes between the shots. I know this is more nitpicky but certainly noticeable (and distracting) to me!
When the audience begins to notice these small details it means they are not engaged with the story being performed before them. Symptom sloppy writing and/or acting.
I noticed that too, that the sign would not be seen from the outside so it doesn't matter what side is showing.
