The Adventure of the Clapham Cook - S1-E1
Corrected entry: When Miss Lemon was putting up the frame on the wall, Hercule says "one centimetre to the left". I don't think that metric was invented yet.

The Adventure of the Clapham Cook - S1-E1
Corrected entry: When Miss Lemon was putting up the frame on the wall, Hercule says "one centimetre to the left". I don't think that metric was invented yet.
Plot hole: Nobody hears the sound of a gun being fired past a door they were waiting almost in front of, and the police cannot tell apart a shot fired point blank by one fired 20 feet away and probably at a very sharp angle. Moreover, the bleeding should be all over his face, since leaning the way it is shown in this adaptation is most likely to lead the victim to fall over, and even leave bloodstains out of the window and on the ground below, which someone would have noticed in the crowded factory.

Samuel Naughton: Was the accomodation all right?
Hercule Poirot: No, monsieur Naughton. The accomodation was all wrong.
Samuel Naughton: Oh...
Hercule Poirot: The duck-feather pillows. It feels as if the duck are still in them. (00:14:50)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Trivia: David Suchet performed all the various conjuring tricks Poirot is trying to pull off. The illusionist in the theater show at the beginning is the late Patrick Page, real life stage magician and coach/consultant for the episode.
Question: Why does Poirot claim to be an American citizen when being interrogated by customs?
Answer: He definitely says "Belgian", but the subtitles get it wrong and show him saying "American."
Answer: It sounds a bit like "American", but listen very closely and you will hear "Belgian".

Correction: The metric system was first adopted by the French in 1795. Poirot is Belgian, and Belgium adopted it in 1816.
