The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Poirot stands as his employer sends him packing, the shadow projected on the back wall is taller than the cupboard by a good margin, roughly from the shoulders up. In the close-up that follows, Poirot is standing in the same spot when he replies "I shall not fail to do so", but the shadow is shortened considerably. (00:14:50)

The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Poirot gives his enigmatic host a letter; he looks at it and puts it down on the desk. The letter is at an angle, but in the following reverse shot, the letter arranges itself neatly aligned with the registry underneath. (00:15:40)

The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The story as presented would be impossible. In the story, Poirot tells his audience that the victim was dead at a time which is earlier than the time that he later tells his audience the victim was killed. (00:37:00 - 00:44:00)
