BBC's Around the World in 80 Days startled viewers during Sunday's (January 9, 2022) episode of the period drama.
Fans took to Twitter after noticing that Phileas Fogg and his accomplices always look fresh despite one major detail.
Despite thoroughly enjoying the series, BBC viewers questioned a major plot hole following Sunday's (January 9, 2021) episode.
Most swarmed over to Twitter to point out that David Tenant's Phileas Fogg appears washed, wearing freshly ironed clothing despite having little money or room in his suitcase for clothes.
Viewers have made the same observation about the protagonist's partners, journalist Abigail Fix (Leonie Benesch) and valet Passepartout (Ibrahim Koma).
"The most astonishing thing about #AroundtheWorldin80Days is that the writers expect us to believe that all three characters have somehow managed to fit six changes of correct Victorian clothing (each piece perfectly clean and pressed) in two duffle bags", one Twitter user commented.
Another person followed up with: "where do all these new and clean clothes keep coming from in #AroundtheWorldin80Days?"

"#AroundtheWorldin80Days beautiful, sumptuous settings and fabulous performances. Best thing on the BBC in ages", added another.
