Wasps' Nest - S3-E5

Sammo ★

How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Miss Barrowby pretends to have just then recognized Poirot, she lowers her left hand, but has it up when he nods to her, and he has his matching hand suddenly higher too. (00:09:00)

Sammo ★

The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Poirot receives his platter of buttered brains, the delicacy that makes Hastings queasy is turned a different way in each shot (easy to tell from the asparagus). (00:28:05)

Wasps' Nest - S3-E5

Factual error: When John Harrison check out of the organizer, the days of the week are wrong for a 1935 setting (September 24th is a Monday, etc), looks like a 1934 one. (00:12:00)

Sammo ★

The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3

Double Sin - S2-E6

Chief Inspector Japp: The professional private detective, ladies and gentlemen, is not the glamorous figure of fiction. He's a man who, failing in more worthy walks of life and being of meddlesome and troublemaking disposition, finally comes to rest in a dingy office over the chip shop, where he plies for hire in the sordid world of petty crime and divorce....Except, I have to say, for one. I have been fortunate in my career, in that many, indeed perhaps most of my cases, have been shared with the most extraordinary of private detectives and, if I may borrow a word from his own native tongue, that "doyen" of the Belgian police force, Monsieur Hercule Poirot. I think I may say without fear of contradiction that Hercule Poirot has one of the most original minds of the 20th century. Intelligent, brave, sensitive, devastatingly quick, Hercule Poirot stands head and shoulders above any other detective of my considerable experience. (00:37:25)

Sammo ★

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Cynthia is sobbing with Hastings, and he asks her to marry him. The handkerchief in her hand changes position between shots (particularly easy to spot when you look at the black band). (01:13:05)

Sammo ★

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: After Hastings reminds him of the mantelpiece, Poirot shouts "Mon Dieu!" and pounds the table. The cards scattered on the table differ in disposition between shots when he stands. (01:21:05)

Sammo ★

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Hastings spots Poirot from the window as he arrives for the denouement, his hand is in a different position on the window frame (left or right of the vertical bar). (01:26:55)

Sammo ★

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: At the hearings, the doctor is on the stand and says "There was no strychnine in it." Mr. Wells closes his fountain pen. But then in the next shot he holds it in his hand. (00:52:40)

Sammo ★

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Poirot locks the document case in a close-up. The shadow on the case is at the center of the object, but in the wider shot it is projected entirely on the left side. (00:38:15)

Sammo ★

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Inglethorp's death happens with her having a much messier hair and the neck tilted to an angle in the wider shot, compared to the close-up on Gillian Barge. (00:30:00)
