The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3

Character mistake: Contrary to the short story, here Mr. Waverly consults Poirot not accompanied by his wife, and by his own initiative without even telling her at first. Given the solution of the case, this appears to be completely illogical.

The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly - S1-E3

Character mistake: When the ever gallant Poirot meets Mrs. Waverly, David Suchet hesitates for a second awkwardly as he mistakenly went for a handshake when Julia Chambers offered him a limp downturned hand instead. Not quite the kind of social faux pas Poirot would be caught into. (00:11:55)
