Peril at End House - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Jim Lazarus pulls over by the protagonists to complain about being unable to see Nick. During the scene, Paul Geoffrey's different facial expressions are shown in the side mirror of the car, but each time we cut back to him, he has the same stoic face listening to Poirot. (00:47:00)

Peril at End House - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Poirot rudely awakens Hastings with his three questions. You get a good view of Hastings' wristwatch on the bedstand. When at the end of the Q&A Hastings turns his attention to the watch, it is in a completely different position. (00:41:25 - 00:42:35)

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Gertie and Joey make their escape running down the stairs of the hall, they pass by a couple (she has a white hat and a blue dress). When Poirot and Japp run after them, the same couple has jumped back several meters. (00:43:00)

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Poirot at dinner asks the first question (the bathroom one), he does not have his large napkin in his vest. When he asks the second one (the bedroom one), the napkin he had for all the rest of the scene is back. (00:40:15)

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Poirot does the newspaper trick for Miss Lemon, the final reveal has him present the newspaper holding it between index and thumb in the front view, index and middle with the thumb sticking out in the back view. (00:42:10)

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5

Character mistake: The magician's assistant wears a costume that leaves her legs exposed, and the costume itself vanishes. The trick can't go as Poirot describes to Hastings and Japp (and it is made with a TV editing trick). (00:07:05)

The Cornish Mystery - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Hastings sits down when Japp is having his meal at the inn, and eats one of Japp's sandwiches. In the rest of the scene, the sandwiches on the plate change position and Japp's beer has been replenished a bit. (00:35:00)

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5

Stupidity: When they bring in the pickpocketer to run identification, half of the individuals do not have the characteristics described - they don't have facial hair at all. Seems a rather poorly planned lineup.

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When not-so-Lavington is spying Japp and Mad Dog Poirot outside of the station, he is holding the wheel with his right hand at the top, but a moment after he's using that hand to smoke instead. (00:34:35)

Sammo ★

The Lost Mine - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Poirot opens the "intolerable" letter Miss Lemon hands him; camera in the door and he has his finger between envelope and letter, reverse shot and he is holding them parallel together. (00:33:45)

Sammo ★

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: The phone book has a LMS logo on the page edges in the close-up where we see Poirot actually flip through - the logo disappears when he is moving the book in the rest of the scene. (00:16:10)

Sammo ★

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When the box opens revealing the jewelry, the jewelry is scattered differently each time it is seen. The box itself gets closer to the table's edge when the lady nabs the jewelry. (00:40:40 - 00:42:40)

Peril at End House - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Poirot and Hastings are talking with Freddie, by her invitation. She says "You'll be giving me a diploma next" and three extras walk by her chair. In the following shot she completes the action of standing up, but the extras are still there, behind their original positions. (00:44:15)

Peril at End House - S2-E1

Factual error: Poirot has just suffered "a turned ankle", in his words; he's talking with Hastings and the kind woman who helped him out, when their conversation gets perturbed by the noise of a plane. Which is surprising, since the plane in question is a Volmer VJ .22 Sportsman, a plane from the 50s, way after the 1930s setting of the episodes. (00:06:40)

Sammo ★

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Carving the distant relative of his parrot for dinner, Poirot slices one side in the close-up, which turns out to be the exact opposite side in the wider shot. (00:38:35)

Sammo ★

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Factual error: Poirot is cycling through Wimbledon; he passes by a house which has a definitely non-1930 car in the yard, and a yellow alarm box on the first floor. (00:18:20)

Sammo ★

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Lavington puts his hat on the couch before talking to Poirot. The hat shifts closer to Hastings and then back closer to the armrest during the scene. (00:12:45 - 00:14:30)

Sammo ★

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Lavington arrogantly sits in Poirot's study and opens his cigarette case, closing it after. In the following close-up, the case is open again. (00:13:15)

Sammo ★

The Lost Mine - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Poirot reads the telegram after the opium den raid. The letter is in his left hand, but moves between shots to the right hand. (00:40:40)

Sammo ★

The Lost Mine - S2-E3

Audio problem: In the very first turn of Monopoly shown, the player scores 11, but moves just 7 ticks. In the second, a 9 produces 8 ticks. (00:01:40)
