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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Lockhart slices his cast open, his missing tooth is just cosmetically blackened. (01:47:00)

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Trivia: Poirot in the ship's lounge is reading the actual May 1st 1935 issue of Bystander (recognizable by the cover and with the correct page order, does not seem to be a simple movie prop), roughly consistent with the time frame of the first season and a contest taking place on the 14th. (00:07:50)

Trivia: When Lockhart is in the sensory deprivation tank, the nurse that does a poor job of keeping an eye on him is reading "Der Zauberberg" by Thomas Mann, which obviously has at that point a common premise with the movie (the main character goes to a sanatorium in the Alps just as a visitor but ends up as an inmate). The novel was inspired by Mann's visit to his wife at a Swiss sanatorium which happened in 1912, same year as the picture fully unveiled in the finale.

Factual error: Throughout the whole movie, whenever federal agents (or people posing as such...) tasked with the case are shown, they wear uniforms with "U.S.A. Marshals" written in big yellow letters. Of course the one and only correct spelling would be "U.S. Marshal"

Sammo ★

Factual error: As Ruben gets from his colleague the newspaper with the headline about the suppression of the 'douane', you can read just by his head "Mardi 17." It's 1986 as stated, and the date the news is referring to can only be February 17, when the Single European Act was signed, producing the headline shown. But it was not a Mardi (Tuesday), but a Lundi (Monday). (00:01:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: As Sean Penn arrives in the bar at the beginning of the movie, Annie is engaged in conversation with another man, saying "We have to meet the new Minister of Health." You can spot her in the group shot and she has her elbow on the table and leaning her head against the hand. In the close-up her position is completely different. (00:03:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Gloria (Eve Arden) caps her bitter statement by plucking something to eat with her fingers. As Anita's gramps arrives, she is eating off her plate with silverware. (00:03:25)

Sammo ★

Season 1 generally

Factual error: Every episode in the first half of this series begins with the same phrase and the same map of the Italian peninsula. Said map though misspells, in a very Japanese way, the north-eastern city of Trento, wrongly appearing as Torento. (00:00:01)
