Starring: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson, Pauline Moran
Revealing mistake: The phone book has a LMS logo on the page edges in the close-up where we see Poirot actually flip through - the logo disappears when he is moving the book in the rest of the scene. (00:16:10)
Revealing mistake: The stuntman smashing through the window is quite obvious - he does not even have the hair styled like Hastings'. (00:31:30)
Plot hole: The hole in the hat was pre-existing and the bullet was fired in advance and dropped. Poirot notices immediately the hole when Nick puts the hat down but somehow missed it while she was wearing it as she supported him. He also does not notice that the bullet has not been fired at that time - which would have been still hot if just fired, not at all if dropped. Most importantly, in the spot where they were sitting, it's not even possible to think where a shooter could have ever been hidden; nobody wonders where the mysterious shooter could have been or cares to investigate the circumstance despite knowing the very moment the supposed shot happened. The fact is basically ignored throughout the rest of the episode.
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Hercule Poirot: And please, do not fraternize with that creature. I am still training him.
Captain Hastings: It's only a parrot.
Hercule Poirot: I was talking to the parrot. (00:27:00)
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?
