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)

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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Other mistake: JP tells the others that his fiancée cooked him a great meal for the two-month anniversary the other night. Suddenly, the three months anniversary is coming up and he proposes - but just a day passed.

Death in Paradise (2011)
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)
15th Apr 2020
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. (00:14:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: The DS, DI and Officer Myers are looking at JP when Dwayne says that there's "trouble in paradise." The bottles of beer turn in their hands in between shots. (00:50:20)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Dwayne informs his bosses that they used to call him "The Shaquille O'Neal of Saint Marie", he is suddenly leaning again against the bar post, he was not before the cut. (00:50:05)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: It's time for a motive for Kim Sweeney, and the inspector and DS go to interview her. She is in her bed, surrounded by used paper tissues, which change position between shots. (00:33:45)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Revealing mistake: Florence and Humphrey are reading the article about the young Dexter Allen from the Hackney Gazette. Behind the article, Florence has her mail open. Amazingly enough, the names of the people she received mail from (Joshua, David, Faye, a Customer service) are the same ones as the victims in She Was Murdered Twice, season 4 episode 7 when one of the suspects opened it from a public computer. (00:30:45)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Other mistake: Dwayne goes through the deleted text messages in Robert's phone. The messages have as dates "Thursday 19" and "Saturday 21st." Given that the year is 2016, the dates are compatible with the month of May, but the episode is set on April 29 - it's the date on the police report for both Matt Holt's background check and the bank receipt Gary Holt shows. (00:19:25 - 00:29:45)
