Kotsuban uranai! Ranma wa nihonichi no oyomesan - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: Akane and Ranma watch Dr. Tofu as he begins to mess things up being all flustered by handling Kasumi's dish. Close to them by the entrance, a red book and a teal book are piled together in the overhead shot, but curiously enough, we see in 2 separate shots that follow first the red book only, then the teal book only, both in the same spot as earlier.

Sukeban no me ni namida? Rûru muyou no kakutou shintaisou kecchaku - S1-E13
Plot hole: In the anime, Ranma commits an unsanctioned violation of the rules when she throws Kodachi out of the ring (the time when she gets saved from her schoolmates); she in fact grabs Kodachi's arms using legs and feet, and projects her. In the original manga there is no such mistake; Ranma used her feet to spin the club Kodachi was holding, so was not throwing Kodachi directly, but using the tool just as the rules say. (00:15:45)

Sukeban no me ni namida? Rûru muyou no kakutou shintaisou kecchaku - S1-E13
Other mistake: Throughout the episode, the English translation greatly misses the joke when it comes to the nature of the fight; the referee keeps replying to Akane's protests "The tools she has are legal" or "she is using legal tools", while the real catch in the rules (and correct translation) would be "using tools is legal", which taken literally means that any tool, even the obviously lethal and unplanned ones, are fair to use, anything goes as long as it's a foreign object and not a bodypart.

Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: Kodachi is standing in front of the window spinning her ribbon and creating a storm of black rose petals. Cut to Akane, and Kodachi jumps away off-screen. When Akane stands in front of the window, the mess in the room is much greater (which could be understandable) but the books on her desk have also changed color. (00:14:50)

Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: In the wide shot opening the episode, the girl to the right of the 'mysterious' girl (turning out to be Kodachi) has a bandage on the right knee up to about half her thigh, but it's gone in the next shot. Notice also the girl in the middle not having any band-aid on her left cheek, while she does when Ranma walks in on them after getting ice cream. (00:01:50)

Wasps' Nest - S3-E5
Plot hole: There are some additions to the original short story in this dramatization, but they create a little problem since Hastings does not come with Poirot for the finale, and in fact is told to stay home in a rather demeaning way. Without Hastings, it's hard to imagine Poirot could break into Langdon's house, since Capaldi when is not playing creepy clown is a sculptor working at home; Poirot would need an accomplice to create a diversion. And, even sillier, Poirot tells Hastings to go buy him some washing soda, but he needs the soda to pull off the switch. Hastings should have joined him at least to give him the soda once Poirot has visited the doctor.

Wasps' Nest - S3-E5
Factual error: When we see the cover of Vogue magazine where Molly Deane appears, the recreation is not bad (the lettering used is not a classic Vogue one but something very similar was used for instance in August of the same year as portrayed), but the bar at the bottom gets the date wrong, putting it down as September 10th 1935, when Vogue always had 1st and 15th of the month as date of the release, no matter the day of the week. Also, it completely omits for instance the price. Would be a pretty difficult magazine to sell without that, real Vogue covers have that detail prominently displayed. (00:03:20)

Factual error: At the end of the episode, Hastings is reading a sports newspaper. The episode is set in 1935, and a weekend, but what he is reading there announces the jockey Billy Parvin substituting Fawcus riding Galdennis, and Golden Miller and the ticket for the sweeps, making the newspaper a March of 1933 one. (00:50:55)
22nd Nov 2019
Continuity mistake: Hastings buys a large scotch for Rupert Carrington. You can see in the wide shot Hugh Fraser with his right hand raised to give the coins to the bartender. But in the next shot, Hastings' hand is not in frame yet, and he even ends up paying with the left hand instead. (00:30:00)
22nd Nov 2019
Factual error: Florence Carrington is killed on the train while she is leaving London for the weekend. When Poirot and Hastings examine the newspapers she could have been looking the day she was killed, the headline of "The evening news" in Poirot's hand announces the world record set by Malcolm Campbell at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, which happened on 3 September 1935, a Tuesday. (00:27:40)

Continuity mistake: At the hotel, the Count is checking in. Behind him by the revolving doors you can see three people having a conversation, with one being a woman wearing a distinct floral dress and brown stole. He steps away from the concierge and the same woman is having a chat in a different part of the hotel, right part of the frame. (00:03:30)

Other mistake: One of Amuro Ray's messages for a successful dodge is "Within predicable range." Typo for predicTable.
21st Nov 2019
Other mistake: The third (out of 6) of the official Steam trading cards of the game is called "Rouge", instead of "Rogue", being named after one of the hero classes of the game.
21st Nov 2019
Audio problem: In the intro of the game, the subtitles/captions of the very few lines are greatly out of synch with the narration.

Daphne Blake: Velma, the tube just ate her! The tube ate Mikayla!
Velma Dinkley: Okay, I'm...pretty sure it's just a secret elevator or something.
Daphne Blake: Okay, right, right. (00:53:25)

Investigator Fujitsuka Natsuo: I tell you rest on need-to-know basis
Detective Tony Costas: Need to know? I tell you what I need to know, I need to know why I shouldn't put my foot up your ass!
Investigator Fujitsuka Natsuo: Reason very simple. Most uncomfortable position for both parties. (00:42:15)

Fakrash: Select the design you wish and 3,000 houses will appear before your eyes...an entire city.
Harold Ventimore: You can't put up houses like that!
Fakrash: Oh, yes I can! With one wave of my hand.
Harold Ventimore: Listen, Mr. Fakrash, you don't own this land. And even if you did, you can't build on it without a building permit. Then detailed plans have to be drawn up, then the building Inspectors have to OK them, then they have to approve every step of the work: foundation, plumbing, electrical... Furthermore, all materials must be union made and all work must be done by union labor.
Fakrash: When the Pharaohs put up the pyramids, they had no such problems. In those days...
Harold Ventimore: - These aren't those days, they're these days. There is no room for magic now. Everything must be done legitimately today. (01:10:00)

Molly: You shake a pretty mean cape, Batman. (00:19:30)
20th Nov 2019
Other mistake: One of the openings Mightgaine uses facing robotic opponents is "A Super AI will lose to a regular one." It's missing a "never", or something along those lines, because as shown in many other lines he and his allies from the Brave series use, Mightgaine calls himself a Super AI, and is saying that he won't lose to inferior programs.

The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3
Factual error: The stock footage of the Queen Mary coming back from the US and docking in Southampton is not in black and white, and it certainly is more recent. The crowd wears colorful clothes, no hats, neon lights are used for the building illumination, and the cars parked are of modern design. It's a post-WW2 world, not 1936. (00:38:40)
