The Dream - S1-E10

Other mistake: At the end of the episode, the clock Poirot presents to Miss Lemon is pointed exactly at 3:28, which would be the time of the murder in the original novel, not in this adaption, when it was changed to 12:28.

The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Hastings stops his car in front of the train station at the end of the episode, he talks to Poirot holding his hand on the outer circle of the steering wheel, or on the inner part in the reaction shots. (00:49:20)

Sammo ★

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Audio problem: When Hastings is caught off guard by the premature launch of the clay pigeon, he fires a couple of shots in a haste. Fairly obvious that he does not, and the mere sound of it has been added in postproduction. (00:01:40)

Sammo ★

The Adventure of the Clapham Cook - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Hastings is reading a letter that makes him go "Good Heavens." He is holding the letter by the top left corner, which becomes the top right in the (lack of) reaction shot from his Belgian friend. (00:24:20)

Sammo ★

The King of Clubs - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When the secretary leans in to console "Henry" after Walton has been escorted away, he pins her handkerchief hand to the desk; in the next shot the hand is turned differently and caught in midair. (00:07:45)

Sammo ★

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During the entirety of the scene in the kitchen, Patricia keeps her hands in her lap, but they change repeatedly from being side to side, to her right hand lying on top of the upturned left. (00:22:40)

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 ★

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)

Sammo ★

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Other mistake: At the very end of the episode, Miss Lemon stops talking as if she could see Poirot glaring at her above the newspaper - while in fact, he is facing the other way.

Sammo ★

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Once Poirot hypothesises that the lightbulb could have been replaced, he curls back his finger pointed at the young fellas. New shot, and he is back pointing fingers. (00:18:45)

Sammo ★

Murder in the Mews - S1-E2

Audio problem: In an empty golf course, at such a close distance as shown, there's no way Miss Plenderlieth would not hear Hastings calling Poirot, who "lost another ball." (00:41:20)

Sammo ★

Four and Twenty Blackbirds - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Hastings carries the picture of the two brothers from Dulce to Poirot holding it by the bottom, top, side, depending on the angle. (00:13:45)
