Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Once Kris Marshall wins his staredown with the whiteboard, he exclaims; "It's you and it works!" and turns towards Fidel and Camille. Fidel in the background is holding the documents in a single pile, which become one for each hand as it cuts to a closer view. (00:38:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Humphrey cracked the case; looking at the whiteboard, he says that the "Who" is kinda obvious. The names on the board are written differently than the first time. (00:16:00 - 00:38:00)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey finally realises the obvious clue and begins doing his handwaving hocus-pocus, he asks Fidel to check the egg theft; his arm is raised, lower, raised depending on the angle. He then turns towards the whiteboard and he's pointing the left hand, or right hand, again with a sudden change dependant on the camera view. (00:37:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Humphrey recalls 'the happiest two weeks' of his life and suddenly stops at the mention of the keyword "eggs." Seen from behind, he leaves the desk (Camille asks "Sir?") but he's still standing there in the next shot, and moves away only after a second. (00:37:20)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Dwayne just barely survived his attempt to outdrink Captain Jack Parrot. Camille asks him "Do you actually remember anything?" He answers, and there's a cut to Kris Marshall shifting position as he listens intently - but he's precisely in the same position and stance the moment the camera cuts back to the previous angle. Same a few lines later when Camille asks "Is that it?"; she hunches over, but she is standing next to Dwayne without a single change once the quick cut is over. (00:35:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Humphrey checks in at the station in the morning, and he has one extra coffee cup. When he asks Fidel about the cane, he is holding the cups with his fingers positioned higher up against the lids. (00:31:55)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: During the funny exchange when Dwayne is on surveillance and the other two are not and argue about that, the bottle of Tensel beer in front of Fidel faces opposites directions between shots. (00:30:35)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene with the swimsuit model, the waiter comes out from behind the counter, moves behind Camille, but takes a couple seconds after he goes out of frame for him to appear behind Samuel Anderson. (00:28:30)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey basically sums up the case after he calls Dwayne "Master of the Understatement", Kris Marshall depending on the camera angle does his weird gesticulations with the left or the right arm. (00:26:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Camille picks up a small copy of the map from Yasmin Blake's booth. She turns it 90° and drums its side with her fingers, but when the editing returns to the previous camera angle as it's time to leave, she's holding the map the same way as before, and with her hand firm on the side. (00:23:30)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Goodman asks Yasmin Blake about the tour, and he traces the path on the map on the wall. In close-up, it's a right hand that does all the gesturing, but in the wider angles Kris Marshall has his right hand in his pocket, and it's the left he uses for that purpose. (00:23:15)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Camille tells Humphrey about having a date with a swimwear model, she has her index finger less than one inch away from the label of the folder in the front views, but in the reverse the hand is noticeably lower on the page. (00:21:55)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: At Humphrey's after speaking with Alec Burton, Camille is looking through documents when the scene begins. She lowers the paper in her right hand in the very first shot, it is higher up in the following, and she has yet to open the document folder in the frontal. (00:21:25)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: In another bit of his ridiculously exaggerated lack of coordination, Humph knocks the whiteboard down. He is reaching out with his left arm to tap it, actually taps it with the right, Dwayne catches the board, and in the next shot he's catching it again while Goodman pulls the left arm back. (00:17:20)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: During the first whiteboard scene, you can tell different takes have been edited together because in some of the shots with the same angle (Danny John-Jules from the waist up) something happened that smudged away a bit of the vertical stroke of the first T in Matt Webster's name, and in others it is untouched. (00:15:40)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: At the setup of the whiteboard, the name of the victim is shown in close-up. The letter R in 'Mark Talbot' is written with a full eyelet and the K has its oblique strokes that don't join together. In the next shot Dwayne is standing by the board and the writing changed. The mistake happens for the remaining names too, different between close-up and view of the whole board. (00:15:35)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Chief Goodman has implicitly outed himself as a birdwatcher, and the others look at him with pity. When Fidel resumes speaking saying "Well...", Humphrey lowers his binoculars and moves the evidence bag from one hand to the other and vice-versa. Besides small jumps in continuity that occur, the evidence bag does a 180° between shots. (00:05:30)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.5 - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: The reconciled Camille and Catherine walk arm in arm towards the table with Dwayne and the others. The beers in the bucket in front of Humphrey change position/angle depending on the view. (00:50:40)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.5 - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Showing it to the police for the first time, Marlon is holding the plane ticket in his left hand when the camera is behind him, the right hand in the frontal view. (00:29:05)
