Spot The Continuity Error?

This one should be pretty easy. Leave a comment.

The audio is poor quality, nothing I could do to improve much there...but it's a visual continuity error, not audio.

(The) Answer to SPOT the Blooper - Continuity error.

First, from the comments on the original post, some folks out there with really keen eyes!
Her slacks change colors? - Zack

The champagne is very bubbly when poured , but totally flat when they clink glasses ? - jerseygirlangie

He's got his cane in his left hand in the long shot and magically is holding the champagne glass in the next close shot. - RJ

He is originally holding the glass with the left palm facing to the viewer. At the clinking of the glasses, the viewer sees the back of his right hand now holding the glass. - Anonymous
 Here's the clip:


The Continuity error I noticed, the reason for the original posting on this, comes 26 - 29 seconds (+/- a second) into the clip.

As the champagne is being poured (at 26 seconds), Steed is holding his glass in his LEFT hand. In the next shot, fading-in from "black", as Anonymous noted, Steed is holding the glass in his RIGHT hand. And, he's wearing a glove, which he wasn't wearing in the previous shot. Mrs. Peele looks like she might be wearing a glove, or, her hand is deliberately unlit.

RJ's comment on the umbrella (or cane) is something I never would have noticed. There may be more. If you see one, leave a comment. Thanks.

Last Call for SPOT The Blooper, or find others that no one has seen.

Last call to anyone who wants to take a shot and spot the continuity error in the short video clip at this post.

There have been some really sharp eyes out there from people who left comments at that post pointing out continuity errors that I never noticed. But they aren't the one that I mean.
 
Take a guess and leave a comment. I'll publish the answer this evening.

Can YOU Spot The Continuity Error?

Up late, awake? If you have insomnia or a hard time sleeping, (me too), well, here's something to take a shot at. Spot the Continuity Error.

I remember on TV The Avengers. I ran across The Avengers on some local channel recently, only they were black and white episodes. I don't remember any of those. The ones I watched were in color. We'd return from Sunday Mass just in time to watch it on some local TV channel, it started at 11AM. I had to be....7, 8 years old? I thought it was a great show.

So I looked it up on YTube. Spotted a continuity error in the opening. There might be more, I dunno. But there's one that really sticks out.

Can YOU spot it? Leave a comment. I'll give the answer later.
