Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Camille tells Curtis that probably the widow fancies too, making him all giddy, her hand takes different directions at every cut (fingers on cheek, fingers on jaw, fingers not in view, wrist turned the other way so it's the back of the hand to be under the chin, etc). (00:35:25)
Episode #1.7 - S1-E7

Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Richard's bit of conversation in the market with Camille proves to be pointless, as he's got nothing yet. Camille remarks about it; through the car window on her side you can see, as in the earlier parts of the conversation, a woman with a pink top and a large flower-themed shopping bag. A moment later the Defender leaves, and behind it you can see the same woman, completely different part of the market. (00:17:50)
