Factual error: When Tintin and Haddock are watching the two clowns performing on stage, the clown of the left is shown stepping in a spilt puddle of water on the stage, but the water is never affected, even when he steps in it. The water just remains completely still and no water is ever shown dripping off the clown's shoe. (00:04:40)

The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 1 - S3-E3

Plot hole: Two clown performers finish their act and the curtain closes. Tintin and Haddock then talk for a bit about who will be performing before the musician, but within the span of merely just a few seconds, the next act is suddenly on stage and ready to perform. No way could the clowns have left the stage and the next act have been set up within that short of a time span. (00:04:45)

Audio problem: When Tintin, Haddock and the detective go into Tarragon's bedroom to discover him just sleeping, Tintin steps on a few broken shards of crystal. The sound effect used of the crystal shards breaking is too loud considering the shards of crystal shown were far too small to make such an audible crunching sound. (00:21:00)
