Year	Story	Fact stated	Discrepancy
1964	TV: Marco Polo	Marco Polo turned twenty-five years old in 1277, placing his birth year in 1252.	The real Marco Polo two years later in 1254.
1997	PROSE: Business Unusual	The Brigadier mentions the video game character Sonic the Hedgehog. The year is 1989.	Sonic didn't make his debut until two years later.
2011	PROSE: Touched by an Angel	The films Groundhog Day and Mrs Doubtfire were both released in 1994.

The release year of Groundhog Day, however, is entirely incorrect, being released in 1993 in both countries.
