Rosemary & Thyme

Swords into Ploughshares - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Near the end, the girls find a big box, filled with antiquities, buried in Lord Engleton's lawn. Laura's jacket changes from before digging, to having found the box, and then back to the first one as they carry the box away.

Orpheus in the Undergrowth - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: On the second night at Julia's, Laura has insomnia again and this time she gets up and goes down to the gardens, which are bathed in light - much more than from a full moon. When Mr Elliott turns up while the girls are working, Laura says to him "Were you out star gazing last night, Mr Elliott?" And he says "Indeed I was, a partial lunar eclipse in wonderful darkness."

Orpheus in the Undergrowth - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Rosemary finds her second bunch of smooth ink cap mushrooms and picks one, then declares, "Fungus Ferguson. My old college professor," who will be able to tell Rosemary what is special about smooth ink caps - this has been bugging Rosemary for days - and then grabs her cardigan without dealing with the mushroom in her hands, which is no longer to be seen.

The Memory of Water - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When the girls are just finishing their look of the walled garden, Laura's scarf that has been visible on both sides up until now vanishes on the left side, then it comes and goes repeatedly.

Orpheus in the Undergrowth - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, the girls have one wheelbarrow out of the Land Rover, with a few tools in it, but after they say hello to Julia, they suddenly have two wheelbarrows out of the Rover and a lot of tools in both of them.

The Memory of Water - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: About halfway through, when the girls are sitting at the dining-room table and Martin walks in with a decanter of red wine, he proceeds to fill the girl's glasses, but not his own, and yet, in the next shot, his glass is filled.

The Memory of Water - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Laura finds the hammer with blood and hair on it, Rosemary finds the constable and tells him where the hammer is. When we first see the constable's car, it's in a ditch. But when he gets into it and drives away, it's no longer in the ditch, but beside the road.

The Cup of Silence - S3-E1

Character mistake: When Angus is found dead, he left a word, "murder", in steam on the mirror. Daisy cleaned off the word before anybody, except Laura, could see it. Later, Daisy said that Laura was annoyed with her because she had wiped the words, plural, off the mirror. But it was only one word.

Trivia: Except for the first episode, where Laura drinks a glass of wine in 2 gulps, she never takes a sip of her drinks - wine, apple juice, nothing - except for tea. She pretends to drink, but doesn't succeed.

Swords into Ploughshares - S2-E7

Question: When the girls and Rosemary's mother go to the mortuary to see who was impersonating Rosemary, Rosemary's mother says just before they see the body, "It's just a waste of time me going home, really." What does she mean?

kh1616

Chosen answer: Maybe she thinks she's so old that she'll be back in the mortuary soon, so why go home?
