The Black Island: Part 2 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: On the tower roof, the gorilla makes a roar that causes Tintin's hat to fall off the tower and into the sea (or rocks around the island). Tintin and Snowy run down a flight of stairs and the gorilla follows them. When the gorilla reaches the bottom of the stairs, he is wearing Tintin's hat. There wouldn't have been anywhere for him to get the hat since it would be in the sea or rocks by that time. (00:37:15 - 00:38:10)

Revealing mistake: The mechanic the detectives presume to be a pilot says "This is my first flight". Thomson and Thompson turn their heads to each other whilst the mechanic speaks. Note how they have a black color in their eyes, but when they finish turning their heads, the color in the eyes of the detective on the left disappears for three frames, which reappears as soon as they turn their heads to the ground.

Continuity mistake: In the shot where the villains first exit the club's gates, the background on their number plate is yellow. After the holiday man says "Up in the trailer", the shot cuts back to the villain's car with a number plate that has a black background. (00:26:15 - 00:26:50)

Continuity mistake: When Tintin first realizes the villains are escaping as they ascend from a corner of the club in their car, the part of the ground Tintin currently stands on is a clear white color. The ground Tintin stands on becomes a beige color as Tintin jumps out of the car's way. (00:26:05)

Audio problem: The first shot after the "previously" shows the burned down club. A further two shots after this shows Snowy growling at Mueller and his partner in crime. His mouth never moves when he does this. A growl like that would require his mouth to open at least a good few inches. (00:25:25)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot. If you flip it the right way round, you will see on the right hand side of the article the word "Spielberg" on one of the lines, a reference to director Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)
