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."

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: In the Scotland Yard office, DI Humphrey Goodman turns around and finds the teleconferencing DI Jack Mooney on screen. He announces to the team "I think I may have found him", and turns around, holding the phone closer to his chest. The movement is repeated in the next shot. (00:28:50)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: A business card from CityMet Bank comes into play. Humphrey points at the whiteboard with the card, but in the next shot the card becomes a magic marker. (00:23:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Humphrey passes the bridge and meets by chance the distressed ginger; when he startles her, the phone instantaneously switches from right to left hand. (00:03:40)

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Plot hole: The big climax of the episode involves Humphrey arriving at 1 PM to escort Martha to the airport as he promised, finding the shack empty with a parting letter from her and rushing on Dwayne's motorbike to catch her plane, failing to do so. All very cinematic, but that means that had Martha not left early, she could have not caught the plane at all.

Character mistake: Florence says that Commissioner Selwyn Patterson and Martha are halfway through the bottle, but the bottle is practically empty. (00:29:55)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Evening at Humphrey's; Goodman and the two French main characters are looking at the unlikely pair of the Commissioner and Martha being drinking buddies. Florence is looking over her left shoulder in a pinup pose, but she is turned right in the reverse shot. (00:29:45)

Other mistake: In the bank statement that Dwayne hands to the DI, there are cash withdrawals "from the past three months", with the past three months being January, February and...February, again. (00:20:30)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Goodman rushes out of the police station after spying someone tampering with the jeep. First time we see the various market stalls in front of the station, and two women are moving from one stall to another; one of them is wearing a sleeveless pink dress and has her hair in a bun. Humphrey arrives by the jeep in the next shot, and the two are back to the same stall they departed from earlier. (00:17:35)

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: Before the second part of the duel with Shiryu at the end of Story Chapter 1, he mentions breaking Seiya's cloth, but it is the other way around.

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Florence spots the camera inside the cricket club's bar and points at it as she goes to fetch it. Points with her right hand, becoming the left hand at the cut. (00:11:20)
22nd Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Trivia: A few lines of dialogue are cut from stream releases; in the interview with Samuel Palmer after they find out about the past, the detectives ask; "And you took the rap for him?" Samuel says "When the police asked me if anyone else was involved, I said no.", to which Florence replies "You served five years. That's quite a favour.", with Samuel saying "He was my friend. He would've done the same thing for me." This part contained a mistake, since it was established earlier that he served 4 years, not five (rap sheet that Florence read to Humphrey and was on camera in close-up), that might be the reason.
