Death in Paradise (2011)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: At the pub towards the end of the episode, Jack brings a glass of rum to Dwayne. He hands it to him with his left, but you can see in the shot when he begins to get seated that it's the right arm that he has extended. (00:48:10)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Plot hole: The big locked room mystery is such only because the detectives build it up as one; they don't make any remark about the fact that the door can be locked from inside without the need of a key, they don't check the door frame or the lock (which would have revealed that it was bashed open while unlocked) and they do not even consider for a moment the idea that someone could have made a copy of the keys, which is the first thing anyone would have assumed. Not just that; nobody on the floor who has been working at the bank for years says anything about some cleaning lady they haven't ever seen before and that happens to be the first respondant to the murder.

Death in Paradise (2011)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: Humphrey and the team receive the decisive last clue from Saint Marie; on the Scotland Yard PC, in the inbox there are tons of emails marked as 'today' that come from places like the Guadeloupe lab and instead days old. (00:34:35)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: Up to the point when Martin West says he took the gun to 'impress the lads', Florence has her hair to the right of her face going in front of the shoulder. New shot, and there's much of it combed back, and it keeps going back and forth until it's again all in the front in Florence's next close-up. (00:26:15)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: The detectives are discussing the presence of the cufflink. Humphrey asks if "He's taken his own life in remorse", and the camera cuts to the deceased. Notice an iPhone on the desk by him. A moment later, the phone rings and Humphrey has to search the victim's pockets to come up with the phone. (00:04:55)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Death in Paradise (2011)

Man Overboard: Part 1 - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: Humphrey puts on the banker's desk the printed article that establishes him as an old friend of the victim. The paper is in a different spot of the desk depending on the camera angle - you can easily tell by the upper left corner of the sheet, that either juts out from the other papers on the desk, or is properly on top of them.

Man Overboard: Part 1 - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: Jack tells the silly story of his cuff-collecting, one-armed uncle; in the reaction shot, Humphrey is sitting with his left arm up in a recognizable position, which changes in the next shot. (00:35:40)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Character mistake: In the side story 10.2, a blind Shiryu has to face the golden Saint of Cancer as end boss to protect his master. In the dialogue before the fight, Shiryu says "I told you before, I won't allow you to lay a hand on Deathmask." But Deathmask is the name of his opponent, he should have said "I won't allow you to lay a hand on Master Dohko."

Revealing mistake: Dwayne turns the volume of the computer in DI Jack Mooney's office; when we start hear him, the volume has gone up just a few notches, but it's already just as loud in the end as it is when Dwayne finishes to set it. (00:29:10)

Man Overboard: Part 1 - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: During Dwayne's annual appraisal, Humphrey holds a bic pen that faces different directions in the reverse shots (easy to tell from the cap being on opposite sides). At the end of it he removes his hand from the desk, but it is back at the middle of the questionnaire in the next shot. (00:00:50)
