Death in Paradise

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The corpse is floating with her hair going all the way towards her right when she is face down, but in the close-ups with the underwater camera her hair is floating evenly at both sides of her face. (00:02:00)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Commissioner Selwyn Patterson makes his surprise appearance at the lobby, Camille turns towards him, fully; head and body. In the next shot, she only turned her head around and her body is still towards Richard. (00:03:40)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Camille puts down the shiny bag at right angle with the magazine. When they decide they have seen enough of the room after finding the pills, the bag returned to its original position, parallel to it. (00:09:20)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the first interview with one of the patients of the clinic, Camille shows sympathy for the death of her 4th husband. She says "Yes I do" and puts the cup down. Then a couple cuts later, in a reverse angle she is shown putting down the same cup again. (00:16:35)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the second interview with Camille, Paul Vincent says "She won't take no for an answer" closing his hands; both palms are open and apart after the cut. Similarly, when she says "Business or not" and there's a cut, in the second shot he has his thumbs up all of a sudden. (00:26:00)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Jayne Smythe has narrowly avoided being run over by a chicken. She then looks at the card Camille gave her; she looks at it pinching it between the fingers of both hands, that in close-up are just the right hand. (00:28:45)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Dwayne and Fidel are looking at the suspect leaving. When Dwayne starts saying "Aahh..." Fidel has his left arm raised, pointing. He finishes the sentence "it's called initiative" and Fidel is composed, not pointing anywhere. (00:29:55)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the interrogation after the suspect has been captured at the free clinic, Richard without logic and continuity is in some shots (usually the reverse shots with Ben Miller in foreground) with his hands behind his back, in others with his hands in front of his stomach holding the medication. (00:32:30)

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Plot hole: Leon Hamilton is the most hated man in Sainte Marie, with over 900 people on the island conned by him. Yet exactly one person in the whole island knows how he looks like, every newspaper and website never ever published a picture of him even during the very public trial when they were trying to get their thousands of dollars back nor publish an archive picture after his death.

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

DI Jack Mooney: My grandfather told me a story once, about these two wolves fighting inside all of us. And one of them is anger, envy, self-pity, regret. The other one is love, truth, faith, hope, that sort of thing.
And I asked him "which one of the wolves would win?" And do you know what he said?
"The one you feed."

Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

Trivia: A bit of the episode has been cut for the streaming releases; at the end of the scene with Humphrey taking Martha's luggage, he would make a date with her for the next day, to cook dinner for her at 8. This has been eliminated probably because it created timing issues with 8 PM being too well lit (in contrast with the supposed timing of the murder) and the ending takes place at Catherine's for a cute drinking scene anyway. (00:22:50)

Show generally

Question: Why did the cord on the wall phone in the police station change from straight in the early episodes to coiled later?

Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.
