ITV Our House fans react to Martin Compston 'Greenock in England' gaffe

The first and second episodes of Martin Compston's newest ITV drama Our House dropped this week and many people have been praising the Scottish star for his performance so far.

Martin is starring as estranged husband Bram Lawson, married to Fi Lawson (Tuppence Middleton).

And while many people have been distracted by Martin's ability to play such a flawed person, some people have noticed an obvious mistake on screen on last night's episode (Tuesday 8 March).

Although it was only in shot for a couple of frames, lots of Twitter fans have pointed out a 'ridiculous' location oversight.

In the show, a close-up of Bram's passport is placed into frame, stating his full, legal name, where he was born and all the other details a normal passport requires.

There's just one discrepancy however - it is shown that Bram's place of birth is in Greenock, in England, instead of the west coast of Scotland.

Viewers took to social media to point out this gaffe, with many finding it absolutely hilarious. One Twitter user said: "Since when was Greenock in England?? @martin_compston #OurHouse."

Another user praised the performance, but was astounded with the mistake: "Our House is unreal TV, cannae stop watching @martin_compston. But heads need to ROLL for this. I’m phoning the polis."

One person replied to this tweet, saying: "England can have Greenock, tbh."

A third wrote: "Greenock, England aye? #blooper @martin_compston."

And a further tweet read: "Couldn't resist watching ep 3 of new @ITV drama #OurHouse, based on the novel by @louise_candlish, via the @itvhub but there's something that should have been a fraud red flag right here... Greenock in England is it now aye @martin_compston? Get the @greenocktele investigating!"

Further tweets read: "Brilliant drama. Just please tell whoever mocked up Bram's passport that Greenock isn't in England!", and "@martin_compston your passport on ‘our house’ says Greenock, England !!"

The third episode of ITV's Our House will be on air tonight at 9pm, with the finale coming Thursday March 10.
