Stumped in Murder - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: This is one of those episodes where names of the suspects on the whiteboard they look different under different angles. The horizontal stroke of the J in "Jerome Martin" is touching the hook, or not, the B in "Sabrina Martin" is different, etc. (00:13:15)

Stumped in Murder - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: Opening; a creepy dude puts his hand on the shoulder of the hero of the cricket game. In close-ups the hand is not on the polo's neck, in the intermediate wide shot it is right on it. (00:02:55)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: While Florence is going through the humanitarian career choices of the victim with Humprey, Dwayne is having a phone conversation with the secretary of the solicitor (somehow not being disturbed by the others speaking loudly, and conveniently being heard only when he says bye). Next to him, there's a biro pen at the side of a notepad. Change of angle, and the pen is on top of the pad, and then again to the side of it. (00:24:45)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Dwayne passes Humphrey the bagged notepad with a UK phone number scribbled on it. In close-up he is holding it with one hand. In the next shot his lips are still moving and yet he is holding it with two hands. (00:17:10)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: At the end of the first interview with the suspects, Florence caps Humprey's thank you to the helpful staffers with a rather unsubtle eyeroll. She changes position lowering the pen, that is on the other side and higher in the following shot, last of the scene. (00:15:00)

Elliot Taylor passes a glass to his wife, who picks it with her right hand and places it down on the armrest with the same hand, the other one holding a bottle of medicine. Next shot, and the hands swapped contents. (00:12:20)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Humphrey tries to sneak away without waking Martha up, but being Humphrey he fails. In the shot when he stands back up after the hilarious bawl, the bed is sunlit, contradicting what is shown before and after. (00:10:10)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Linda Taylor brings to the inspector the keys as instructed. Goodman holds the keys and the packet of smokes at the same height, but when she is about to go away throwing a last look at the covered corpse, all of a sudden the key hand is much lower than the other. (00:09:50)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Humphrey shows the outside of the murder scene to his girlfriend; when he casts the torchlight on the balcony, before the cut you can spot his right arm holding the torch at the left of the frame. He is holding the torch with his left hand before and after. (00:07:25)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Martha and Humphrey are toasting. Watch out at the moment of the long scream; both Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton hold wine glasses but those keep changing position between shots. She puts hers down, it is up again a moment, and down at the next cut, while he puts down his, releases his fingers from it, and in the next shot the fingers are still squeezing it only to release the glass again in a repetition of the gesture later. (00:03:45)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: DI Humprey Goodman and Martha Lloyd get on a boat at the beginning of the episode. Humph is to Martha's right when they begin, but midway through Martha is sitting to Humphrey's right, with her bag also switching place with Humphrey's accordingly. (00:00:35)

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: Before the series' opening, the camera scrolls towards the body. Esther is lying on the rocks, her feet apart. When Goodman and Florence check the body, the feet moved closer. (00:04:00 - 00:06:20)

Continuity mistake: After the interview unveiling the secret of the writer and her assistant, Humphrey is at the police station recapping the case.
