Audio problem: In Season 1, Episode 18 there is an audible knocking on Victoria's door prior to Roger walking up to the door and actually knocking. (00:01:57)
Audio problem: In Season 1 Episode 2, Victoria says "boo" to a painting but when she visibly says it, we hear the audible boo sound afterwards. It was dubbed poorly. (00:13:44)
Audio problem: 1897: Quentin challenges Barnabas by pulling a decorative sword from a wall display and pointing it at his throat. Unfortunately, the display wasn't all that well attached to the set wall. Though the camera pans away, you can hear a loud clunk as the piece falls, followed by the loud crash of shattering glass as it strikes and breaks a table lamp. You can also see the actors struggling very hard to keep straight faces as they continue with their lines.
Audio problem: In several episodes, there is a shot of the grandfather clock in the downstairs hall. When the camera comes in for a close-up of the face of the clock, a chime can be heard. It is the Westminster chime, which normally sounds on the quarter hour (4 notes), the half (8 notes), the three-quarter (12 notes) and the hour (16 notes plus the number of hours). However, on several occasions, the clock is off-strike, either by the number of notes it chimes or chiming when it normally would not (for example, at 11:20).
Audio problem: 1840: During a graveyard scene, the village bells are tolling the hour, but someone forgets to kill the sound effects tape. The chimes strike sixteen-o'clock.
Audio problem: 1966: While Constable Carter is grilling Burke Devlin, you can hear crew members talking loudly backstage. In apparent annoyance, "Burke" raises his voice and all but shouts his next line.
Answer: It sounds like you're referring to "mouches." These were false beauty marks that women wore and were popular in 18th-century Europe, during the reign of Marie Antoinette. They were small patches of silk or velvet that could be applied to the face in various sizes and shapes, such as stars or crescents, to highlight certain features or cover blemishes.
