The Calculus Affair: Part 1 - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: The villains stand in front of Marlinspike Hall. The shot after a close-up of their feet shows the clouds along with a storm. Look to the lower left corner and you will see part of the grey cloud doesn't have any color on it, like the animation cell has been scratched. (00:02:50)

The Black Island: Part 2 - S1-E11

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.
