Are You Being Served? - S1-E1

Character mistake: Mr. Lucas got himself in an embarrassing situation 'straightening the seams' of Mrs. Slocombe. Humphries passes by saving him by telling him that Mr. Granger wanted to talk to him, but he does it by saying "Griffin wants you." Wrong name. (00:07:45)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: During her initial monologue, Katherine Newbury does the obligatory joke a 'foreign' host would make, rethorically asking where the good 'murican hosts are instead. Doing so, she mentions Martin Short, Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin. However, Martin Short is a bad example in the context of the joke, being Canadian-born.

Character mistake: Breaking the news of war to the Sayers, Allnut tells them that the war is involving smaller nations like "Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Spain." Spain was not amongst the participants of WW1. (00:10:00)

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Character mistake: As Poirot reconstructs the facts in the flat (and he explicitly says "consider the FACTS"), he lays out that "a letter which was found at the scene of the crime with John Frazer written on the bottom." But the letter simply said "Frazer", the first name was just Japp's random conjecture based on the initials on another evidence being J.F. (00:27:40)

The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3

Character mistake: Contrary to the short story, here Mr. Waverly consults Poirot not accompanied by his wife, and by his own initiative without even telling her at first. Given the solution of the case, this appears to be completely illogical.

The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3

Character mistake: When the ever gallant Poirot meets Mrs. Waverly, David Suchet hesitates for a second awkwardly as he mistakenly went for a handshake when Julia Chambers offered him a limp downturned hand instead. Not quite the kind of social faux pas Poirot would be caught into. (00:11:55)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: When we see the relative positions Eddie and Johnny have, Eddie appears to be the one that should have done the signaling to the patrol car instead. (00:55:40)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

Character mistake: When Hugh is talking with Dot making up a letter as he goes, he says that he's been going out with a wonderful girl for "nearly 6 months." This episode takes place merely a day after the previous, which was set in October. The first episodes when Dot and Hugh could start being called an item were set in August. That is nowhere near 6 months. (00:23:00)

Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

Character mistake: Striking conversation with the inspector, Miss Fisher asks him if he's still thinking about when he kissed her 'the other night'. The kiss happened in the previous episode during a police operation happening at 3 PM. Hardly "the other night." (00:06:40)

Sammo ★

Ruddy Gore - S1-E6

Character mistake: The general idea in the first part of the scene with Dot and Miss Fisher at the balcony would be that she is so flustered by the handsome actor, she was wearing her binoculars backwards. But Ashleigh Cummings is in fact at first looking through the binoculars the proper way, then turns them around, and puts them the wrong way. (00:05:00)

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Character mistake: Somehow, Poirot is the first person to get to the basement - he obviously would have slowed down terribly the policeman and the young and spry Jimmy rushing down the stairs with him.

Sammo ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Character mistake: Miss Fisher is shown tumbling her way into Leonard's apartment in a less than graceful manner, with a rather audible thump, and rolling on the floor and to her feet making quite a ruckus. Despite that, Bobby, who is presumed to be alert and on edge since he's breaking and entering, is completely oblivious of her presence. (00:16:30)

Sammo ★

Bang the Drum, Ashley - S1-E2

Character mistake: When Geoffrey serves tea after his sassy cough at Vivian's sentence about High Tea not being a sacred institution, the actor messes up when it's time to actually serve tea, with a napkin getting caught in the teacup saucer. Granted, accidents do happen, but it's quite uncharacteristic for the perfect butler Geoffrey is portrayed to be, and simply a flub by Joseph Marcell. (00:17:45)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Dumplin' is looking through her aunt's belongings, and finds an old application form for the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant. The application has an August 1993 signature but marks Lucy's DOB as 5/5/79 with a stated age of 16: it does not add up, as she'd have been 14 instead. Granted, it's an application she never actually turned in and not an official document, but this does not justify the mistake in the context of the movie (not to mention that had she just been too young to participate, the point of the movie would be moot).

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, introductory technobabble. "In this canister, there's a solution of protons. The canister is attached to a rotor circuit that generates the protons to the speed of light." I believe the science genius and creator of time travel mixed up the words "generate" and "accelerate" here. (00:00:50)

Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10

Character mistake: Dr. Mac's first words in this episode are "Her name was Daisy Miller." Only, it was not. In the office with the boss, Jack asks about "Daisy Murphy's death", same for the tea lady. And in the end credits indeed her last name is Murphy. (00:01:30 - 00:05:55)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: After the shootout at the restaurant, Junior finds one of the perps' cell phone and calls Bennie, exposing her as the one who sent the killers. He even comments in front of Sasha "Got your ass" before telling his dad about it. Later outside the warehouse, Sasha comments "So Bennie is the one who put out of the hit on us at the restaurant." She should already be well aware of that. (01:14:15 - 01:23:20)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Shaft meets Junior for the first time and mocks him with the offer of bubbly water. Junior says "And as for that wedge of lime, it makes it alkaline, so..." It wouldn't, since lime juice is rather acidic. (00:23:10)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: Jamie says about his dad "Last time I felt close to him was on my birthday in 1974. He bought me mirrored sunglasses. I saw the President fall down the stairs, and I threw up on the carpet." The footage they are showing on TV is from Gerald Ford's infamous fall from the Air Force One which happened in June 1975. (00:02:25)
