Continuity mistake: DI Jack Mooney arrives on the scene of the crime. He is walking with his left hand on his chest in the first shot, but viewed from the side, his arm hangs low. (00:05:25)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Catherine is chatting with the not-so-bad candidate, who offers his support. She says "I'd like that" with a bit of her scarf that goes in front of her shoulder, unlike the previous shot. (00:01:45)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Edwina Bousquet scoffs at the apology and gets up. Close-up of Judith Dawson, and you can see for a second in the background the bike with Danny John-Jules entering the premises. But there is no sound effect for it and in the next cuts he's nowhere to be seen; he arrives only later. (00:00:25)

Death in Paradise (2011)
In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Plot hole: Spoiler. The killer needs to get rid of two women. One is his mistress that he just dumped and is acting psychotic about it, the other is his wife. He kills the wife and makes it look like it was his mistress to murder her. So she goes to jail, where she will die two years later due to pneumonia...and in all this time, she never once says anything about the affair! He has been extraordinarily lucky, because had she said anything, and she had absolutely no reason not to in her circumstances, the case would have not been so open-and-close, they would have considered the idea that he could have been an accomplice, but even assuming the past detective (which DI Richard Poole called a good detective) was a total fool, at the very least Jack and his team would have found a trace of this controversial alleged affair in the files and solved the case much earlier. But no, the plan was to send his mistress to jail and that somehow made her cease to be a threat to him, when instead she'd have been much more dangerous to him.

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Plot hole: Somehow, Jack is so lax in his investigation that he does not ask any detail about the sales representative supposedly the husband had an affair with and that he ended (which could have very well been a suspect nobody considered before, since he ended the relationship to stay with his wife...had she existed, but Jack can't know that he's lying!), but has acquired DNA from Ian Matlock to run an overnight test on the hair sample (which we have to assume was complete with follicles and still in test shape after 8 years in a bag).

Death in Paradise (2011)
In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Plot hole: The original murder went unnoticed because of extraordinary incompetence of the police; even if they did not have the ingenuity to extrapolate the background noise, they still had to investigate how a murderer would have gotten away with a corpse in the middle of a carnival, but the issue is never raised. More importantly, the last phone call of the victim came from a place 40 minutes away from the city, which would mean a different cell tower - and since they needed to track down the body that never turned out, monitoring the phone the last call came from is standard procedure.

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Factual error: In the denouement, DI Jack Mooney says that all the suspects could prove they were not in the building on Thursday June 22 2009. Which was a Monday. (00:41:10)

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: The forensics team consisting of JP and his DJ cousin has produced the magnified audio of the background noise featured in the taping. Everyone turns then to the whiteboard, but Florence's hand position on her mug does not match in the different shot shots (thumb on or off the rim, mug raised as she drinks, mug in front of her chest). (00:31:20)

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: During the interview at the bar, the quantity of coconut and rum in Tony Garret's glass changes between shots multiple times. Easiest bit to spot it is towards the end when he brags that he could find a dozen witnesses in an hour; as he says that line, the liquor barely covers half of the ice cubes, but after a brief cut on Ardal O'Hanlon, the glass is full enough to cover most of them.

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Trivia: In the close-up of the diary of Julie Matlock, you can read in the column to the right of the page with the mysterious number 19871 a name; Agnes Dahan. It's the name of the production buyer of the episode, and long time staff member of the show in production and art department. (00:20:20)

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Character mistake: Jack asks which one of the two saints is the Saint Ursula venerated in Saint Marie, and mentions the Ursula martyred by the Huns, and Ursula Micaela Morata, with the gift of bilocation. Being this thoroughly informed, he should know that the second is not a Saint, but a Venerable. (00:17:20)

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: Jack recovers from Nadine Hunter's belongings a little bag containing hair. His fingers are in the middle of the bag in some shots, on the left corner of it in others. (00:15:00)

In the Footsteps of a Killer - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: Dwayne pulls up from the evidence box the gun used for the murder; he holds it at the bottom part of the handle, but he his holding it with a finger near the trigger in the next shot. (00:05:30)

Other mistake: The railroad background seen at the beginning of KoF96 has a sign saying "Railroad CROSED."

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the side-mission against Deathmask at mount Gohoro, the Sanctuary Executioner says at first that "the ones who came with me don't know", but suddenly it becomes a single person "I'll write him a note."

Death in Paradise (2011)
Other mistake: Torey Martin says that he had an accident 5 months before, but the car crash evaluation is signed 31/07/2016. Not only it was a Sunday - unlikely day for the car shop to be working -, but that would put the events of the episode on January, contradicting the bank statements and what was established in previous episodes.

Other mistake: The police boat approaches the scenes of the crime coming in from the right, in a straight line, then in the proximity of the boat they turn around it, moving clockwise, passing in front of the bow and then to the left side. When they review the readings though, the icons show a completely different story, as if the police boat approached from behind and they boarded docking right at the stern. (00:04:40 - 00:08:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Martha says "Yes" to Humphrey, the waiter in the background has his hands free. She kisses him in the next shot, and in order to clap with the others the waiter has to put down two wine glasses he was holding. (00:49:45)
