The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3

Other mistake: When the pick pocket is listening to the radio at the beginning, he cuts right through the middle of a paragraph in a newspaper. Yet when we see paragraph cut out and in the journal, the paragraphs are in full sentences. If it were the right way round we'd see a half line on the paragraph. (00:01:30)

The Shooting Star - S2-E1

Deliberate mistake: Captain Haddock finds out the SOS was a fake so he tells the engine room to increase speed. Just after they increase speed and Tintin says "The people financing the Peary", we can tell the boat isn't moving since the background is entirely still and not moving an inch. (00:14:45)

The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3

Deliberate mistake: After Francis Haddock kills Red Rackham, he lights a fuse to the explosives. The fuse that was lit is only a foot long, yet he is somehow able to climb out the ship without anyone noticing, get into a boat and swim all the way to land before it explodes. At a foot long it would have exploded in 10 - 15 seconds, all of that would taken at least 10 minutes. (00:18:45)
