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.

In a Monastery Garden - S3-E2

Character mistake: After Laura and Rosemary attend Evensong in the church, Rosemary remarks, "I think it's amazing that they perform the same service every week for hundreds of years." But they had Evensong the day before. If they do it every week, how can they do it two days running?

Plot hole: In the garden, when Rosemary and Laura haven't done much clearing away yet, a girl loses her mobile in the garden. Instead of spending "hours" searching for it, why don't they just ring it? Or explain that the battery is dead and they can't ring it?

Three Legs Good - S3-E5

Plot hole: The girls refer to Holly's owner as Mr Volker, even though they now know her owner is Mr Allbright. For plot reasons, they have to say to Sherry that Mr Volker is Holly's owner, because now she knows she's killed the wrong man, and she'll have to kill again.

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.

Plot hole: The first man to be killed is a psychiatrist - "a very private man". So, if he was "very private", how did the "hip man" know if he did or did not have any psychotic patients who would want to kill him? He wouldn't.
