The Henderson Challenge - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Albert tricks Eddie into having a large "X" drawn on his forehead in permanent marker when they're sitting in the bar. Shortly afterwards, when they're in the flat waiting for the crew to arrive, it's completely vanished with no trace of ink left. There's no way Eddie could have scrubbed it all off and left no trace—permanent marker takes a couple of days to fade completely from skin, even with regular washing.

Suggested correction: There are solvents that would remove the mark in seconds. A bar owner would keep them in stock in order to deal with graffiti.

Getting Even - S4-E3

Plot hole: At the end of the episode, having conned Veronica Powell out of £600,000 - the purchase price of the house and contents they sold her - Danny taunts her by telling her that they did nothing wrong, implying that she has no legal recourse to recovering her money. He's wrong. One of the gang, Billy Bond, bids against her in the auction for the house, boosting her bid from £220,000 to her final offer of £600,000. Bond has no money and no access to any, and no assets that could be realised to cover the bids he made, something that would be easy for a lawyer to prove. It's called shill bidding and it is very illegal indeed. Since Bond and Ash Morgan (who gave Powell false information during the auction, spurring her on to bid against Bond) are both standing next to Danny when he makes his announcement I find it hard to believe that a shrewd, hard-hearted businesswoman like her would not realise that she had been conned and would not get her lawyers and the police on the case on the spot.

Trivia

The Hustlers News of the Day - S3-E5

Trivia: In some versions of this episode the name of the newspaper the grifters con has been rather clumsily dubbed over as "The Weekend World" rather than the original "The Sunday World", which is a real newspaper.
