Death in Paradise (2011)

Flames of Love - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: Humphrey brings attention to the toiletries when asked why does he not quite believe it was suicide; in close-up the bag is in shadow, but in the wider angle there was direct sunlight on the top of the bottles. (00:05:45)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Flames of Love - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: When Perrie Campbell tells her much younger friend that she can still drink her under the table, a bottle of beer suddenly appears in her hand. During the rest of the exchange the beer bottle in Sian's hand faces different directions each shot. (00:01:05)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Flames of Love - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Perrie shows the moth tattoo to Sian. In the close-up of the lepidoptera, Sian's elbow is barely off the corner of the table, but she's leaning with just the hand in the following shots. (00:00:40)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Goodman calls it a day and mentions the stag party. Dwayne lays out on the desk three pair of handcuffs; the leftmost (the first he put down) is apart from the others, but when the lube comes into play, all three are clustered together. (00:22:35)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Florence puts on the table the knife sheath; it is laid out with the ends of the belt apart, but when Newton Farrell answers, they are joined together without anyone having touched it further. (00:20:30)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Humphrey found the cigar butt inside Newton's ship. He goes with his ever-smiling sidekick to interrogate him, finding him in asleep with a flask of booze between his hands. Cut, and Roger Griffiths' hands are on top of the flask instead than the bottom. (00:20:10)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Florence finds the divorce papers and calls Humphrey's attentions on them saying "Sir..." There is a paper sheet leaning by a corner on the laptop's right side. When the tabletop is again in frame (when Humphrey puts the coin back in the safe) the papers are arranged differently. (00:18:30)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: The police are inside Tosh's boat, and Naomi Walker pokes downstairs to tell them that all his stuff is there and to help themselves. She has both hands on the manhole, which becomes just the right hand at the first cut. (00:17:25)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Sam Walker is holding back his dad Tosh, pulling him apart from the rival Newton Farrell. When Tosh snarls "Get away from my boat", his son has his left hand on his shoulder, but it's behind his back in the intermediate reverse shot. (00:01:25)

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: Classic mistake of the series (happens at least in a couple episodes per seasons); the Detective Inspector writes down names on the whiteboard, but they are written in different penmanship in close-up compared to the wider angles. In this particular case, the detail that is most telling is how Humphrey puts a little underline on some of the names, which is at very obviously different distance for the victim and the pastry chef.

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: It's time for a motive for Kim Sweeney, and the inspector and DS go to interview her. She is in her bed, surrounded by used paper tissues, which change position between shots. (00:33:45)

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Anouk Laban, Humphrey Goodman gets all defensive saying that "we're not all like that", placing his hand on his hip. Before and after this attempt at humour, Kris Marshall has his arm on the bar counter. (00:21:50)

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: The victim's fiancée prepares a green smoothie and answers the questions of the police about the private investigator's findings. When she points the picture on the counter, notice how in close-up there are no photos directly by DS Florence Cassell's arm, and in the other shots there are. The whole position of the pictures seems to vary at each cut. (00:20:50)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: Goodman and Cassell are interviewing the pasty white brother of the victim at his hut. During the scene, the folder Humphrey holds close to his body is positioned differently (horizontal/vertical) as the two main camera angles alternate in the dialogue. When Gary puts on a shirt, the folder even switches hands, blatantly. (00:18:10)
