How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Miss Barrowby pretends to have just then recognized Poirot, she lowers her left hand, but has it up when he nods to her, and he has his matching hand suddenly higher too. (00:09:00)

How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Once Japp passes him back the seed packet telling him it's empty, Poirot checks it out; in the close-up he's holding the paper in a completely different way (the side instead of the top). (00:11:20)

How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Poirot asks Dr. Sims "So the Delafontaines, they were dependant" etc., the doctor's right hand changes position between shots, and the hand positions keep alternating between the two versions depending on the camera angle (an item suddenly appears in his hand when Miss Lemon mentions the living relatives, too). (00:26:30)

Mistakes

The Dream - S1-E10

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.
