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)

Death in Paradise (2011)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Plot hole: For the plot to go the way it was described, Newton had to wake up at the right time from his drunken stupor (that for some reason the real killer assumed would last eons), sail his boat, go somewhere at sea to dump the corpse, and then back exactly at his pier in the crowded spot where everyone knows him, and do a thorough bleaching of the cabin, all in less than half an hour, close to 15 minutes since he has then to go to Catherine's, which is half a mile away. So around 10 minutes being generous, for a hungover middle-aged man in bad shape and in shock and be there by 7:30, with the real murder happening around 7 (the wife says at 7:45 that it's been 45 minutes since they heard from him). Of course he also had to do that unnoticed, with no record or witness about a boat sailing in and out within a few minutes at dinner time, and likewise nobody saw the real killer running like mad at the docks - also of course, the whole stabbing was done without a single trace of blood getting on him.

Death in Paradise (2011)

The Blood Red Sea - S5-E7

Plot hole: Saint Marie is an island with an astonishing homicide rate, but even considering that, with an a missing person and a phone call reporting a stabbing at the boat of a notorious belligerent drunk, with the same person called by name as the culprit, it's quite inconceivable that in a relatively small town like Honore nobody looked for Newton Farrell and questioned him all night - especially being so easy to find, or even checked the boat. Instead, they are surprised by the bleaching of the deck the day after, proving they did not even look for a moment during the night.

Character mistake: Before the boss fight of chapter 6 in the KOF95 saga, Noah says "Next is the three Kyokugenryu users. Don't let your guard." Down, of course, is missing. Incidentally, the banner in the background has a letter H drawn quite poorly, so it looks like it says "Dunk CMANPIONSHIP."

Factual error: The text crawl in Chapter 7 of KOF95 mentions "a crimson man and his blue flames." Iori Yagami's flames are purple.

Death in Paradise (2011)

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)

Cousin Marina Pepesco: I'm entitled to some of the fortune, not you! Why, I practically grew up in this house!

Higgins: If there is the slightest validity to what I am witnessing, I can now be certain that our creator is not only indifferent, he is cruel. (00:21:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
