Other mistake: The clock on the lounge's desk signals the same time for the whole scene's duration (when the girls spot the strange woman waiting outside), which lasts much longer than a minute. (00:08:20 - 00:09:50)
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Hugh arrive during Miss Fisher's judo lesson with the girls, the two outraged ladies walk out of the room twice. (00:15:55)
Factual error: The calendar behind Hugh when Dot restores the beer coaster points at November, consistent with the pacing of the show. It's not a November 1928 calendar, though, the first day should have been a Thursday. (00:24:00)
Continuity mistake: When Derek's uncle arrives during his interrogation, the badge and pen in front of Jack change position entirely. When the original camera angle is used again, the objects are exactly where they first appeared. (00:28:05 - 00:29:20)
Factual error: Behind Jack and Miss Fisher as they are waiting to get an answer about the whereabouts of Jane's mother there's a wall calendar that has November 4 as a Tuesday - wrong for 1928, and also inconsistent with the other calendar seen in the episode, in the kitchen. (00:43:00)
Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10
Character mistake: Dr. Mac refers to the murdered girl as "Daisy Miller." Later it's revealed that the murdered girl's name is actually "Daisy Murphy." (00:01:00 - 00:06:00)
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)
Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Jack asks Miss Fisher to wait outside since Mr. Gaskin is freaking out, Hugh in the background goes from writing on his pad to having his hand down on his hip. (00:06:30)
Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher serves the big piece of pie to her aunt, she drops the cake spatula on the table with a clanging sound, but it's back on the platter in the reverse shot. (00:49:45)
Continuity mistake: In the faraway shot, the snake is wrapped around the neck of the dead body full circle, while in the close-ups that follow and precede, the snake is draped across its neck and creeps up the right side of the deceased. (00:01:20)
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)
Continuity mistake: Miss Fisher as 'Fern' is posing as the magician's assistant. He does the (supposedly, before the man in the crowd calls out 20 as grand finale) last throw successfully and walks up to her to retrieve the knives. They are obviously positioned differently between shots. (00:30:30)
Continuity mistake: Jack and Hugh are checking out of the serial numbers of the banknotes. It's quite obvious during the sequence that Hugh has a couple of wads in his hands, then he is hands free, and then is holding the same wads as before. (00:39:30)
Plot hole: Miss Fisher and Samson have to find the right, narrow, timeframe to sneak into the ringmaster's tent and go through his belongings. But they seem to have an unlimited amount of time once afterwards, since they flat out take the big crate he has in plain view containing all sorts of incriminating evidence, and then have all their time to get to the station to bring the evidence to Jack, compare serial numbers, have a lab check on the vials, even dig up graves, all without Mr. Jones getting suspicious in the slightest.
Continuity mistake: As the the first conversation between Miss Fisher and her cousin's belle begins, when she mentions "That dazzling party in Charing Cross" she has her hand on the newspaper, but it is on her shoulder at the cut. And then Miss Fisher puts a hand above the hip, changing position at the following cut as well. (00:08:00)
Continuity mistake: When Bert and Cec put their groceries down in the kitchen, Cec takes his hat off, Bert does not and shows no contempt about it. After a brief cut, once Miss Fisher is exiting the room Bert is now without his hat. (00:13:50)
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)
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)
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)
