Revealing mistake: When Felix talks breaking the fourth wall about the mysterious, vicious "Roxy", he shows her twitter page. The latest tweet is dated Mar 10. Since the school at that moment still has to issue the report cards for the first semester, it seems a little too far ahead in time. (00:08:40)

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Plot hole: It turns out in the climax of the episode that there are no bullets left in the gun and Miss Fisher knew it. That would mean then that she deliberately wasted minutes with Simon bleeding out on the floor when Chaim was holding them at gunpoint with an empty revolver, for no discernible purpose.

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Stupidity: Miss Fisher is a cunning sleuth and avid reader, and has to search for a hidden message. Yet she does not recognize one of the most common tropes (yes, back in the 20s already, with illustrious writers as Dumas and Poe using it!) in fiction, aka the "invisible ink", even with a gigantic clue about it. She is uncharacteristically dense in this occasion.

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Factual error: Looking at the lending list card, we see that Saul returned the book on the 26th of August 1928, a Sunday (when we assume the privately owned store would be closed), and more importantly, that his last name changed: from Saul Michaels as he was mentioned in conversation, to Saul Abrahams as it is written on the card. (00:13:05)

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Factual error: At the police station, as Miss Fisher hands the food basket to Jack to walk away with Dot, a wall calendar indicating the episode as taking place on August 11, Thursday. The established year is 1928, so it should be a Saturday. (00:22:30)

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Miss Fisher reads the newspaper just before the final reveal, it's Friday 26 August 1928's newspaper. Remarkable, considering 6/26/1928 was a Sunday. It's not the only peculiar trait of that first page though, as in the text you can read the name "Casey Anthony" multiple times together with "not guilty" in bold text etc., all parts of a tragic story happening over 80 years after this episode. (00:52:35)

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Plot hole: The anarchists were alarmed enough by Nina running away to abandon their safehouse in a hurry, but still go through with their plan to rob the bank as planned - hard to see why, since it was a generic bank robbery and nothing about it seemed time sensitive - and look totally dumbfounded by Peter's presence or the fact that it could all be a trap, when it's obvious their plan had been exposed - it's why they left, after all.

Continuity mistake: As the swindling painter tickles/pats the chin of the lady his compadre is snatching the money from, he does that with his thumb outwards or inwards as we switch from shot to reverse shot.

Sammo ★

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Factual error: When Miss Fisher takes the teacup from Hugh to bring it to the housekeeper, she passes by the calendar. It shows December 17 as being a Saturday, not consistent with the year of the show. (00:30:55)

Sammo ★

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher introduces Samson to Jack, the clock in his office shows it's 10 AM. When Senior Sergeant Grossmith is at the phone just outside, the time displayed is half past 8. (00:05:00 - 00:05:50)

Triangle at Rhodes - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Pamela Lyall is talking to Poirot before his scheduled leave going as far as wishing there were a murder so he could stay, her right hand moves on and off the table between shots. (00:24:20)

Sammo ★

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Other mistake: When Hastings pulls Poirot's slip of paper out of his pocket, he's reading it upside down - as you can see from the close-up, the torn up part should be at the bottom, not at the top. (00:11:40)

Sammo ★

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 ★

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Mrs Clapperton puts down the score notes and pencil before lighting up her cigarette. Between the shots and the reverse, the pen disappears and the notebook changes position. (00:13:35)

Sammo ★

The Incredible Theft - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Miss Lemon announces the anonymous caller to Poirot through the window, she holds the receiver at noticeably different heights between the consecutive shots. (00:09:00)

Sammo ★

The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Hastings holds the letter addressed to Poirot from Farley, his left hand goes between shots from the top to the bottom of the sheet, and vice versa. (00:07:35)

Sammo ★

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Miss Henderson gets back aboard, the same extra (bearded man with black robes and brown belt) walks by coming from both directions at once. (00:26:30)

Sammo ★

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As the future victim scoffs saying "Must be a great solace to you" to the Tollivers, his hand goes from midair to the teacup between shots. (00:11:30)

Sammo ★

Triangle at Rhodes - S1-E6

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the episode, as Poirot's car drives off headed to the harbor, filming equipment is neatly reflected in the door. (00:51:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Lockhart sits down to talk to the manager, the glass of water goes from half full to almost entirely full between shots. (00:20:30)
