Agatha Christie's Poirot

How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2

Factual error: At the very beginning of the episode, Katrina visits the Soviet embassy. It is written in big letters; "Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic", while the correct official name was "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." (00:01:45)

Sammo

The Plymouth Express - S3-E4

Revealing mistake: When Japp points at the news on the paper about the mine stocks going up, in the close-up you can see easily that only the title and the enlarged text of the first 3 lines talk about the mine. The rest is sports talk. (00:33:55)

Sammo

Wasps' Nest - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Poirot is examining the photos taken by Hastings at the party. Depending on the camera angle, the pictures and their reciprocal distance change across the whole sequence. (00:15:30 - 00:16:05)

Sammo

Wasps' Nest - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Having received Japp's phone call, Poirot puts down the picture of the mysterious man. The photo sits on top of the other pictures in a different spot at the cut. (00:35:35)

Sammo

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 Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Hastings has just met the Ingelthorps, and now is outside so John Cavendish can introduce his wife. In the wide shot it's evident that John lowers his arm, but in the closer view his arm is still held up high before Mary speaks. (00:08:10)
