Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: In the interrogation after the suspect has been captured at the free clinic, Richard without logic and continuity is in some shots (usually the reverse shots with Ben Miller in foreground) with his hands behind his back, in others with his hands in front of his stomach holding the medication. (00:32:30)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Dwayne and Fidel are looking at the suspect leaving. When Dwayne starts saying "Aahh..." Fidel has his left arm raised, pointing. He finishes the sentence "it's called initiative" and Fidel is composed, not pointing anywhere. (00:29:55)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Jayne Smythe has narrowly avoided being run over by a chicken. She then looks at the card Camille gave her; she looks at it pinching it between the fingers of both hands, that in close-up are just the right hand. (00:28:45)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: In the second interview with Camille, Paul Vincent says "She won't take no for an answer" closing his hands; both palms are open and apart after the cut. Similarly, when she says "Business or not" and there's a cut, in the second shot he has his thumbs up all of a sudden. (00:26:00)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: In the first interview with one of the patients of the clinic, Camille shows sympathy for the death of her 4th husband. She says "Yes I do" and puts the cup down. Then a couple cuts later, in a reverse angle she is shown putting down the same cup again. (00:16:35)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Character mistake: Richard makes it sound really special and important that the tea in the box is Camelia Sinensis...but that tells absolutely nothing, since it's simply the name of the tea plant, not a specific, precious variety of it. Your standard tea you buy at the supermarket is just as Camelia Sinensis as any other type of tea. (00:08:40)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Commissioner Selwyn Patterson makes his surprise appearance at the lobby, Camille turns towards him, fully; head and body. In the next shot, she only turned her head around and her body is still towards Richard. (00:03:40)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The corpse is floating with her hair going all the way towards her right when she is face down, but in the close-ups with the underwater camera her hair is floating evenly at both sides of her face. (00:02:00)
Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.
