Rosemary & Thyme

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Rosemary is riding on the back of a motor scooter. Problem is: when the green screen is being used, Rosemary's jacket is light-brown, and when stunt doubles are being used and it's not a green screen her jacket is now dark-brown.

In a Monastery Garden - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Laura is clearing the herb garden, on the first day, she overhears Mr Bingham arguing with the Dean; in her hands, she has a very large pair of scissors; but when she turns away, she is now holding a scythe.

Orpheus in the Undergrowth - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, the girls have one wheelbarrow out of the Land Rover, with a few tools in it, but after they say hello to Julia, they suddenly have two wheelbarrows out of the Rover and a lot of tools in both of them.

Three Legs Good - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: The first time the girls park outside Helena's place, they park further away from Helena's red door, as does the motorcycle in front of them - both of them park outside a blue door. But when Helena opens her red door, the Rover and motorcycle are right outside.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, Rosemary has her glasses in her hand and she tries a couple of times to get her glasses case out of her bag, but she doesn't succeed - except, suddenly, her glasses are gone.

In a Monastery Garden - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: The windowpane that is broken by the thief is in a door that desperately needs a good paint job. It's the door that leads outside and to a small room full of plants, a veranda of sorts. But when Laura looks at the door, she's looking at the inner door, which looks like it has just been painted, and, in the morning, the broken pane is covered up by a piece of wood, but, again, it's the inner door, which is totally wrong. It's the outer door's window pane that was broken.

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Near the end, the killer, with his pistol, is 3 large steps away from the narrow road, but when Rosemary comes by on the motor scooter he's somehow close enough for her to knock the pistol out of his hand.

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When the big palm tree is being installed, Laura is giving instructions from down below, but depending on the direction of the shot - from down below or up above - Rosemary is missing half the time.

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When the girls are loading the truck with plants for the second time, they are told that the big palm tree will be delivered tomorrow. But there are 4 smaller palm trees that magically appear - the girls didn't take them in their truck and they weren't delivered, but they're there.

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bobby corners Ray at the bottom of the stairs, which, I assume, lead to Ray and Blanca's private quarters, there is a swimming pool behind Bobby. At first, there's no-one near the pool, but, in the next shot, there are people dangling their feet in the water and a man asking Ray for the papers, plus more.

The Cup of Silence - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: The first time Laura attempts to enter the Ebenezer Scrooge room she can't fit and Rosemary has to give her a couple of hard shoves from behind. But, later, she goes in and out easily.

The Cup of Silence - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When the girls are standing in the doorway of Anges's room, considering staying there, in the reflection of the mirror, Rosemary's hand is over her mouth, but, in the next shot, not in the mirror, her hand is over her forehead.

kh1616

The Cup of Silence - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: At the very end, the girls, Ben and Burt are celebrating with champagne, but Laura's glass isn't as full as it was in the previous shot and, if you look closely, you can see that she only pretends to take a sip.

kh1616

The Memory of Water - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: About halfway through, when the girls are sitting at the dining-room table and Martin walks in with a decanter of red wine, he proceeds to fill the girl's glasses, but not his own, and yet, in the next shot, his glass is filled.

kh1616

Three Legs Good - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When we first meet Hibby, and after the girls sit down, Hibby has her arm resting on the divider between the two benches; then, in the next shot, her arm is resting on her bag.

kh1616

The Cup of Silence - S3-E1

Character mistake: When Angus is found dead, he left a word, "murder", in steam on the mirror. Daisy cleaned off the word before anybody, except Laura, could see it. Later, Daisy said that Laura was annoyed with her because she had wiped the words, plural, off the mirror. But it was only one word.

kh1616

Chosen answer: Maybe she thinks she's so old that she'll be back in the mortuary soon, so why go home?
