The Green Mill Murder - S1-E3

Audio problem: When Miss Fisher is interrogating Stone and asks him "What's the matter Mr. Stone..." he's gulping down his liquor. She finishes the sentence ("cat got your tongue?") in a separate shot, and the sound of him just putting down the glass is heard. But if you look at the little bit of him that is poking in the foreground, he's puffing smoke instead. Kinda hard to do that with a mouthful of whiskey. (00:31:40)

Presumed Innocent - S2-E7

Audio problem: After Deputy Lin drops the line "we'll get the results back fast," Sheriff Alex Romero responds with "I'm not sure how much nail clippings are gonna tell us." As he sits down, his mouth movement matches the audio, but when the angle changes, his mouth isn't moving at all. (00:09:55)

The Kirkoff Case - S1-E2

Audio problem: Jim has been beaten up in front of the Sierra and dragged back into his own car. When they drag him out inside of some warehouse, he says "Take it easy! I'm not struggling, am I?", but James Garner's lips are not moving and the line is obviously dubbed in. (00:24:30)

The Butler Did It (A Bird in the Hand) - S1-E3

Audio problem: In the first scene, we see a quartet led by a sax player. The music we hear, however, is of a trio without sax. This is fixed in the rebroadcast where the song is Satin Doll led by the sax. Additionally, the piano now sounds like an electric to match its look.
