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)

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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Continuity mistake: Humphrey grabs the ashtray in the boat; the cigar butts are placed differently on it between shots. (00:17:25)

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!? (00:05:25)

Magnum: I'm sorry Rick. I'm a little rusty on the serve. I just gotta get it up a little more, but when I do, it'll be a monster.
TC: Not with that follow through.
Magnum: What's wrong with it?
TC: You need more extension.
Magnum: I do?
TC: Mmm-hmm.
Rick: Try and keep this one on the court will you. We're running out of balls!
Magnum: OK, this one will be in Rick, I promise.

Thomas Magnum: Let me explain something to you about following leads...
Juliett Higgins: Oh, you're gonna mansplain something? How wonderful for me.
Thomas Magnum: No, I'm gonna P.I.-splain something to you! (00:24:35)

Thomas Magnum: My father once said that being brave doesn't mean not being scared. It just means you've decided there's something more important than your fear. (00:22:20)

Other mistake: In Naomi Walker's flashback when she gives Goodman her recounting of the evening, she gets the call from her husband when the phone is on the table - she got it with the phone in mid-air as she was standing already, instead. (00:11:10)

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)

Character mistake: Matt Holt's profile contains a very minor typo (missing space between 'mother' and 'was') and lists his age as 20, while he's still 19, having his birthday in August. The biggest mistake though lies in the fact that it processes a request dated 29 of April; it should be the 30th, just like Gary's. (00:26:10)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Other mistake: It is never clarified why the victim paid his brother; besides that, the bank statement has the date of April 29 and most facts point at the date being the one the episode is supposed to take place at. The investigative report though refers to a meeting happening in January - would hardly be something the aggressive legal team of the even more aggressive chef would keep on their desk for 3 months.

Death in Paradise (2011)
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.
