I think I found one. At the end of TGG with the pool scene, when John comes out wearing the jacket and repeating what he's being told to, he says "What would you like me to make him say next?" as he reveals the bomb underneath. But in the recap at the start of Scandal, when we see John open the jacket his lips aren't moving!

That's a good one!
I'm not sure if this has been addressed BUT In PINK when they get in the car and its light then they get to the scene and it's dark- well Sherlock said to meet at 221B at 7, they then spend a bit of time in the flat and talking before Sherlock runs off and comes back. So its probablyt 7:30 7:45 and during summer nightfall is usually around 8 ish. So a 6 mile drive would take (depending on the route) at least 20 minutes in the city streets. Definitely plausible that it got dark.
(Also spamming this everywhere but MORIARTY WAS WRONG! I don't think you can break bullet proof glass with a diamond.Let's get it on Mythbusters! http://disq.us/8dtxb1)

I've just discovered "The Mystery Of The Self-Closing Shirt Button"!
Apparently, there is an automatic device which will close a cheeky shirt button within four seconds.

Amazing Now, that's what I call useful technology!

I would have never noticed that. You've got waaay to much freetime, tobe!

Oh man, I've watched these so many times that I've pretty much picked up all of the small editing errors, but here's one that was pretty glaring to me:

After Irene drugs him, she's rubbed the whip off of his face:

The very next shot, the whip is on his face again:

Maybe it was mentioned elsewhere but in TBB when Sherlock is "googling" the URL points to the computer's C drive

Didn't you know all the internet is on Sherlock's C drive?

Lovely find!

Question: Does it also work the other way around... unbuttoning the shirt? Of course I could (and would!) always do this myself (), but just in case my hands should be occuppied with doing something else already...

Don't you think his chest does this work anyway?

No problem - just let the film run backwards!

Yeah, well, you're right of course, Harriet. How could I not think about this myself?

Chest - automatic device - perpetuum mobile

"The Astonishing Case of the Disappearing, Transforming and Re-Appearing Passer-By":

**Posted by Davina** September 17, 2013 5:08 am

Well spotted!

Another one.
TGG. On their way to Scotland yard John sits in the taxi with beard stubbles
(understandable, because he hasn't had the time to shave after his staying over at Sarah's)

...but on their arrival at the Yard he seems to be clean-shaven.

**Posted by SolarSystem** November 8, 2013 1:24 pm

He probably borrowed a shaver from the cabbie... I'm sure London cabbies always hold a shaver ready for their passengers.

Not for all customers - but they do have certain services for their best customer and his friend.

Haaaaaa, that's so sweet...!
