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)

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)

King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: Jack lights up a match to see better in the darkness of his prison with Jane. As Jane gasps, the match is extinguished, but the additional light in the room remains the same. (00:41:50)

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Factual error: When Mr. Butler takes the hashish-laced cake, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) " is playing, composed in 1931, later than the 1928 setting.

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When cousin Guy tells Miss Fisher "You like your meat tender too", Isabella is sipping from the drink she lowered in the previous shot. (00:32:00)

Sammo ★

King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher asks Dot to help her get out of jail, she is holding on to the bars in the close-up, but not in the wider angle. (00:34:10)

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher as Cleopatra loosens Jack's tie, what remains of the knot is different in the separate shots. (00:38:25)

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher tends to the fatal wound of the victim, she slips one glove off, using it to plug the hole in his chest. She suddenly then has both gloves off. Even assuming the montage implies a lengthier amount of time elapsed, when she takes the box from the dying guy her hand is all bloodied up, but it shows much cleaner in the following shot. (00:03:40)

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Plot hole: Talking about the murder weapon, the coroner says that the wound was a "horizontal" stab. Nerine's confession is ruled out because she mimics the attack at an angle. Funnily enough though, during interrogation, Jack himself makes a remark about the stage being a spot overseeing the room, and the killer was in fact on stage, and standing. When we see briefly the flashback of the murder, it's clear that the trumpet is way above the head of everyone dancing. So the projectile wound would hardly be "horizontal."

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: During the interrogation of Mr. Rogers, the distance between the trumpet and the mute constantly changes between shots. And when he says "So what? Doesn't prove a thing!", Miss Fisher is holding her hand on top of the mute, instead of having her arms folded. (00:49:40 - 00:51:00)

Sammo ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Plot hole: The murder weapon during Miss Fisher's demonstration hardly appears to generate enough momentum not just to send a projectile across the room with lethal force, but also do it achieving full penetration through clothes, disappearing entirely inside the body so the coroner wouldn't notice. That's assuming that the coroner did not even bother to in fact open up the cadaver and perform autopsy, which would be strange, especially with a weapon of undisclosed characteristics, when finding out more about the depth and damage to internal organs would have been crucial. And with any autopsy the dart would have been found, solving the case almost immediately. (00:49:45)

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Audio problem: When Miss Fisher is interrogating Stone and asks him "What's the matter Mr. Stone..." he's gulping down his liquor. She finishes the sentence ("cat got your tongue?") in a separate shot, and the sound of him just putting down the glass is heard. But if you look at the little bit of him that is poking in the foreground, he's puffing smoke instead. Kinda hard to do that with a mouthful of whiskey. (00:31:40)

Sammo ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Factual error: When the compromising pictures of the lovers in bed are shown, it's also shown that some are taken in rapid succession, with Charles noticing, covering up, charging at the camera. All this quickfire shutter action would be really too much advanced paparazzi tech for the 20s! In the same episode Miss Fisher gets her mugshot taken and it's taken with a big and clunky camera. (00:20:00)

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 ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When the two blokes who help Miss Fisher are playing darts, the close-up shows the dart sticking really close to the left line of the segment. When Miss Fisher is nearly impaled by Bert's off-target projectile, the dart on the board is better centered. (00:15:25)

Sammo ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When the band in the nightclub performs the made up song "Mr. Music Man", the suave Mr. Stone, the musician Miss Fisher ends up dancing with, is doing one heck of an hilariously incompetent job at faking to play an instrument, basically playing air-banjo strumming about 3 inches above where the chords are, and wildly off tempo. In the closing bit of the song (as the singer sings "To sin") he even moves his hand at the side of the strings and not above them. (00:03:30)

Sammo ★

The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Factual error: At the beginning, Charles is trying to sell his airplane to Miss Fisher: he calls it a "Tiger Moth." The series is set in the 20s, and he should have simply said a "de Havilland Moth", which were the most popular recreational aircraft of the decade. The Tiger Moth though came out in 1931, making its mention an impossibility. (when we see the plane, it's a model manufactured in 1942, going by its registration number).

Cocaine Blues - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The victim in the close-up is dead with his hand under the bathroom table. But he was seen in the previous shot exhaling his last breath in front of it, with no contact at all with the wooden leg. And as crude as the chalk outline on the bathroom floor is, it is more consistent with that sort of distance and position. (00:00:50 - 00:06:50)

Sammo ★

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As Miss Fisher gulps down her stiff drink thanking Butler the butler, she holds her hand in her lap all bent and twisted in a quirky claw shape. There was no indication of it in the previous shot, where she was simply rubbing her thumb. (00:06:35)

Sammo ★

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)
