One Watson, One Holmes - S3-E19

Character mistake: Sherlock says "Cherchez la femme" but pronounces "femme" as "fem" rather than "fam." In earlier episodes, he has been seen speaking fluent French, and so would be unlikely to make so basic an error. (00:16:30)

Episode #1.13 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Inspector Bucket looks at the wallet Compeyson has placed on bar. The letter M has a few studs missing at top left. Later, when Bucket shows the wallet to Fagin, the M is complete. (00:18:25 - 00:21:50)

The Maggie's Redress - S1-E1

Spring-Heel'd Jack - S1-E4

Factual error: A bill is shown in close-up, and the amounts listed are in decimal money rather than pounds, shillings and pence. British currency was not decimalised until 1971. (00:10:35)

Show generally

Factual error: 2016 special - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks: Mr Harmon comments on a perfume called Belle, which he thinks is called "Belly", "I wonder what the next one will be called. Bingo Wings?" The episode is set in 1988 and the term "bingo wings" didn't exist before the 1990s. (00:10:40)

Character mistake: Joan Clarke pronounces the name of the mathematician Euler to rhyme with "ruler", when in fact it is pronounced "oiler."
