The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: Esther's belongings are positioned differently between the panning shot on the ground and the wide shot; just look at the angle of the diary and the pen's. (00:07:50)

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: Humphrey, Dwayne and Florence move to the cliff the victim seems to have committed suicide from. JP's arms are down his sides in the first shot, on his belt in the wider angle. (00:07:25)

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: In the overhead shot of the corpse when the police checks it out, Florence has her hands on her hips, but she is writing in the following close-up. (00:06:30)

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: When for some reason Humphrey's staff is nagging him about receiving the text message, the position of his hand on top of the file cabinet changes between shots. He is right at the edge of it, but further behind later. (00:05:05)
21st Apr 2020
The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: After the opening, Humph makes his way to the file cabinet almost moonwalking and whistling a jaunty tune. Dwayne looks askance at this merriment turning towards Florence. That is in the wide shot, but in close-up Dwayne is looking still at his paper, and only a second later turns towards her. (00:04:45)

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: There is a long lecture by the editor, Patricia Lawrence, at the beginning of the episode. The victim reaches the cliff where she will meet her demise. Meanwhile Patricia says "Exploring the many pathways that will eventually lead..." and there is a cut to a close-up of the writer. During the instantaneous, mid-sentence cut, the wind on set increased exponentially; all of a sudden it even moves the earrings of the woman enjoying the conference behind Sylvie Baptiste. (00:03:40)
17th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode Commissioner Selwyn Patterson warns Dwayne against equating him to farmyard animals. His hat switches hands during the scene, as you can see when he turns around to leave, and his left arm is down his side instead of bouncing the hat as shown in the next shot. (00:49:50)
17th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, in the close-ups of Mayor Joseph Richards he and especially JP in the background have strongly sunlit areas over their bodies. In the wider angles, the set is uniformly in shadows. (00:46:30)
17th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Richard has the epiphany about the case with the realization about the mayor, he keeps looking left and right and babbling with both markers in hand. The white one though in some shots has its red lid on, and in others hasn't. (00:32:00)
17th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: The whole sequence with Humphrey doing his 'visually aided' re-enactment of the night of the murder contains little shot-to-shot inconsistencies from the moment he takes the second whiteboard on. The photo switches hand, he leans to the top of the board when it's time to stick the picture on it, but the same hand is lower on the board at the cut, and so on; in some shots he's touching the board and in their reverse angles he is not. (00:35:40)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Martha and Florence are chatting in front of two glasses of wine, courtesy of Catherine. Martha's hand is at a different height, higher on the stem of the glass in one angle, lower against its base in the other main angle the scene is shot under. (00:20:35)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Florence and Humphrey take a walk with Emer Byrne. Behind them, a man with a rather noticeable orange T-shirt. Later in the scene when they go back to the jeep, the same man appears again together with the other guy he was chatting with, again walking back and forth just to pad the background. (00:16:00)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey points out of the strangely lacking item amongst those lined up, the items in question change position between shots; when there's the shot of the whole row, the canteen is at an angle, it is parallel to the rest when the camera pans in close-up. The sandwich bag too is folded differently. (00:06:00)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: DI Goodman is inspecting the pillows; when he gets to the second bunk bed, you can see that handling the pillow he accidentally catches with his arm a blue piece of clothing placed on the railing, dragging it a little along the way, towards the vertical support bar. The next shot is evidently from a previous take, because that blue rag is in the initial position, away from the bar. (00:39:10)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Goodman sprints away from the banquet, the cue cards in Dwayne's hand move from both hands to a lowered left hand in the faraway shot. (00:38:40)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Goodman jumps up yelling "yee-haaw!" messing the wedding table, Commissioner Patterson grabs a towel with his left, but at the cut he is using the right hand to clean his left. Likewise, Florence has in the second shot a hand on her chest, but she didn't have that pose already in the previous, it was just her initial reaction. (00:38:00)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Humphrey gets next to Leo's bed saying "Hey sexy." He has a hand in his pants and the other on the phone, but they swap place at the first cut. When he gets up and protests that he loved Sian, the phone disappears. (00:39:10)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: After hearing about the theory that perhaps Sian and her knew each other from back home, Perrie Campbell walks away. Goodman grabs the manuscript from the table, but his arm does not move in the reverse shots. He then puts it back, but when it is his turn to stand up, it is nowhere to be seen - yet it didn't look like he could have put it back much far away. (00:16:55)
16th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Perrie Campbell says "Now I can see it", about the world out there, the bang on her right side is windblown. The wind is instantly absent in the next shot, just as in the rest of the shots from that angle. (00:16:35)
