Agatha Christie's Poirot

Correction: The metric system was first adopted by the French in 1795. Poirot is Belgian, and Belgium adopted it in 1816.

Cat Among the Pigeons - S11-E2

Corrected entry: At 50':21" running time, there is a sudden flash on the actress's left eye, lasting only for a fraction of a second, seemingly from a camera flash or some other lighting equipment. (00:50:21)

Correction: This is just her eye reflecting the off-screen light. At one point, her head and eye movements catch a particularly bright highlight, which is exaggerated by the diffusion filter they are using. If it was a flash from the lighting equipment, you would see it in the lighting of the scene. (Not to mention, why would they be flashing a light in the middle of a shot?)

The Dream - S1-E10

Plot hole: Nobody hears the sound of a gun being fired past a door they were waiting almost in front of, and the police cannot tell apart a shot fired point blank by one fired 20 feet away and probably at a very sharp angle. Moreover, the bleeding should be all over his face, since leaning the way it is shown in this adaptation is most likely to lead the victim to fall over, and even leave bloodstains out of the window and on the ground below, which someone would have noticed in the crowded factory.

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Trivia: Poirot in the ship's lounge is reading the actual May 1st 1935 issue of Bystander (recognizable by the cover and with the correct page order, does not seem to be a simple movie prop), roughly consistent with the time frame of the first season and a contest taking place on the 14th.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - S7-E1

Question: The doctor (James) put on a Dictaphone to make the suggestion that Roger Ackroyd was alive at 21:30 hrs. But how could he know that someone (Paton) would pass the door of Ackroyd's study at precisely that moment?
