Notes
Mistakes
- The poster for The Loft's upcoming 'Emergency Services Gratitude Night' gave a date of "Wednesday 12th March". 12th March is a Wednesday in 2025, but the show's time jump would place these events in 2026, where 12th March is a Thursday. The next occurrence of Wednesday 12th March is in 2031. It is likely that this is simply a mistake, rather than an intentional acknowledgement of the in-show date.
