Starring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson, Pauline Moran
The Adventure of the Western Star - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: Japp is waiting for Van Braks to make his move, and when he is hopping on a taxi for the airport, he begins to tail him. When the car moves, reflected in the door is a modern No Parking cone in bright yellow (incidentally, they also pass by a parked car with a FUU 692 plate that is a bit too recent for the series, being an Austin Big 7, first produced in 1937). (00:41:05)
The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb - S5-E1
Factual error: In the scene after Poirot pretends to be poisoned, a person folds the modern flag of the Arab Republic of Egypt instead the flag of the Kingdom of Egypt as it was at that time.
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Hercule Poirot: And please, do not fraternize with that creature. I am still training him.
Captain Hastings: It's only a parrot.
Hercule Poirot: I was talking to the parrot. (00:27:00)
Trivia: Poirot in the ship's lounge is reading the actual May 1st 1935 issue of Bystander (recognizable by the cover and with the correct page order, does not seem to be a simple movie prop), roughly consistent with the time frame of the first season and a contest taking place on the 14th. (00:07:50)
Question: Why does Poirot claim to be an American citizen when being interrogated by customs?
Answer: It sounds a bit like "American", but listen very closely and you will hear "Belgian".
