The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: At dinner, Alfred Inglethorp asks Hastings what he's going to do after the war. The person to his left is placing a glass on the table. The next cut happens mid-sentence and in that instantaneous timeframe the glass is perfectly still while the wine was still noticeably moving in the previous shot. (00:10:10)
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: The coroner asks Mary to tell everyone about the quarrel. Frontal shot of Mr. Wells; he is pointing his hand with the spectacles at a certain height. Reverse shot; the hand is lower, resting on the other hand, and only then he raises it to the same level as it was in the other shot. (00:53:40)
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Evie Howard leaves the house after the argument with Mrs. Inglethorp, she sits on the sofa explaining what happened to Hastings and the others. She has her hands on top of the purse handles. After a brief cut on Mary saying "oh no", one of the handles is free. (00:16:40)

The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3

How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2

How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2
