Heroes and Villains - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: At the time Damien appears in the lounge with a baseball cap on, asking Rodney if he wants to play war, the shot shows him with his cap slanted to the left, next shot it's to the right and finally it ends up being straight on his head. (He was obviously quite fidgety behind the scenes).

The Long Legs of the Law - S2-E1

Suggested correction: Not necessarily a mistake. If someone is looking for something they often try to think where it could be before they start searching.

Clearly not seen the episode. Leonard is stood not moving a muscle and then starts actively looking.
