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)

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)
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)
The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When Poirot says "I'm sorry" to the culprit, he has the hand on the shoulder of his accomplice. Her hair is on and off that shoulder in a blink. (00:48:35)

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)
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)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: The first time Mrs. Ingelthorp is shown, she is holding a pen. In the second shot she is holding it in her right hand, while in the third she has the lid of the pen in the right hand and the pen itself in the left. (00:07:30)
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Everyone is silent at dinner after Miss Howard left, but Mr. Inglethorp keeps a healthy appetite. As he eats, look at his plate; the shadows cast on it switch side depending on the camera angle. (00:18:40)
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Mary Cavendish's wine glass goes from almost empty to full and vice versa several times during the dinner scene the first day. (00:10:10 - 00:11:10)
The Adventure of the Western Star - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: Japp is waiting for Van Braks to make his move, and when he is hopping on a taxi for the airport, he begins to tail him. When the car moves, reflected in the door is a modern No Parking cone in bright yellow (incidentally, they also pass by a parked car with a FUU 692 plate that is a bit too recent for the series, being an Austin Big 7, first produced in 1937). (00:41:05)
The Adventure of the Western Star - S2-E9
Factual error: Assuming the episode is in line with the others of the season and it is set in 1935, a few vehicles shown are slightly too recent. The plane waiting for South Africa is a Beechcraft Model 18 (first produced in 1937), the train going to Yardly has a SR Q locomotor first produced in 1938, and the truck that slows Japp down before getting to the airport is a Bedford M-Type, a model first produced in 1939 (the specific one used in this episode is from 1947).
