Starring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson, Pauline Moran
Wasps' Nest - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Poirot is examining the photos taken by Hastings at the party. Depending on the camera angle, the pictures and their reciprocal distance change across the whole sequence. (00:15:30 - 00:16:05)
Wasps' Nest - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Having received Japp's phone call, Poirot puts down the picture of the mysterious man. The photo sits on top of the other pictures in a different spot at the cut. (00:35:35)
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.
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)
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.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - S7-E1
Question: The doctor (James) put on a Dictaphone to make the suggestion that Roger Ackroyd was alive at 21:30 hrs. But how could he know that someone (Paton) would pass the door of Ackroyd's study at precisely that moment?
