Continuity mistake: Dr. King announces Emily's death. The lawyer supports the archaeologist who is fainting, but does so being in different positions between shots. Even the local who faces away from them is standing in a different position - in fact this particular mistake keeps repeating, with the guy's left arm all the way down the side in some shots and his hand on the waist in the closer angles. (00:45:25)

Continuity mistake: The Boynton kids are crowding the mother preparing her according to her instructions. Ginny reluctantly goes to bed, Nadine brings her the medicine, and Raymond walks around her to get to the other side; the shadows in these two shots are different, as shown by the tent's peg, in the shade first, in the sun a second later. (00:40:35)

Continuity mistake: In Qumran, Poirot inquires about the disappearance of Cope. When Healey tells him "And there's more bad news", the extras in the background have changed. (00:36:00)

Continuity mistake: Sightseeing in Jerusalem, Nadine is reconciling with her husband and tells him to smile. Behind her, Dr. King reads a book and turns right to left. Three women walk in frame from the left. The camera cuts away, and next time we see Nadine there's a blatant repetition of the same movements; again King's half-turn and the two extras that walk into frame same as before. (00:30:15)

Continuity mistake: Ginevra just left because her mother sent her to bed. Jefferson Cope approaches Nadine. Look at the lady sitting at right of the table behind the Boyntons. Right arm on the table, left arm on the chair. Cope brazenly asks Nadine's husband if he doesn't mind, and both her hands are on the table. (00:15:45)

Continuity mistake: Lady Westholme asks her travel partner Miss Quinton "What's the matter" since she keeps rummagining inside the bag. It's an instantaneous exchange, but between shots the couple of passersby (man with a suit and red flower, woman with an azure dress) have advanced through the street by a great deal. (00:10:45)

Continuity mistake: When Ginny tells the others that Cope is in Trieste, the couple in the background changes position and the woman and the man switch places. (00:09:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Boyntons are in Venice and looking at the Rialto bridge. Ginevra in the wider view of the staircase puts her hand down from the railing, and the hand is back up on it in the next. (00:07:50)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the sleazy husband says "We had sex, okay?" he is wearing a ring on the middle finger of his right hand. When he answers Castle's question the ring moves to the fourth finger. (00:29:45)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Castle's mom says she's 1/4 responsible for Alexis' genes, the glass in front of her has merely a few drops left in it. When Castle leaves and she calls him "flatfoot", the glass is still mostly empty but there's about twice as much wine left. (00:10:30)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Alexis punctuates her Grandma's statement saying "you were the crazy homeless woman", she is holding the big wooden spoon up, but it's down against the rim of the bowl in the next shot. (00:09:35)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the cops tear down the board with the serial killer case, you can see already next to the lawyer the note in grey ink that says that the object used to suffocate him was wrong, which is a conclusion Bishop comes to later in the case resolution, with the notes on the other two victims in the same ink.

Spoonful - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: A woman approaches Oscar Finlay when he's having a beer at the bar. She asks him "What do you do?" and his hand is at the bottom of the glass, only to be at the top of the glass in the reverse shot. It happens again as the two different angles alternate. (00:36:05)

The Killer - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jim picks up the box with the mission briefing, his hand in the close-up of the fisherman's case is at the bottom of the box, but it's on the opposite side when we see Peter Graves retrieve it. (00:07:00)
