Continuity mistake: Mr. Giles holds the telephone as he interrogates the private eye, who answers in a rather defiant way to the threat of "the local constable" getting involved.

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: During the scene at the train station, Jessica's nephew introduces to her Kitt Donovan from the publishing company.

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Episode 1-0, "The Murder of Sherlock Holmes"; Mr. Giles opens the door of the antechamber of his office, finally putting an end to Jessica's long wait.

But in the next shot when Grady actually enters and talks to the secretary, Grady is still with his hands on his pockets repeating the gesture. (00:10:10)
