Julie infers about Brittas turning 38 in about three months' time, and he corrects her that he will be 37. But when they thought Brittas had died in the Centre saving Carole, during the funeral, the metal plaque on the coffin Gordon was knocking from inside of claimed he lived from 1958 - 1994, meaning that by 1997, he would be turning at least 39. The truth is though that Chris Barrie, who played Brittas, did turn 37 in 1997, as he was born on March 28,1960.
