Death in Paradise

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When the murderer is revealed, they cry admitting implicitly their guilt. Mascara runs down their cheek, but its trails disappear between shots, and changed are also the smears on the lower eyelid. (00:47:45)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In a rather blatant continuity mistake, Humphrey starts seated with his wife and two cocktails, which become a single cocktail glass when Dwayne and Fidel barge in. (00:35:00)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Other mistake: The timestamps on the CCTV screenshots indicate that the murder happened in early March (since they are from early February and they go back one month), but March already passed in previous episodes of the same season (gigolo calendar, bank statements). (00:29:00)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When the severely confused Humphrey asks "What are we doing?" Sgt. Bordey points at the car; in the first shot she points and lowers her hand, but in the next shot the hand is still up and pointing. (00:12:30)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Talking about the Chambers in front of the station prior of the surprise arrival of his wife, Humph gesticulates with his left, right, left hand depending on the camera angle. (00:10:50)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the preliminary interview with the suspects, Colin Campbell is talking about the concert he accompanied the victim to. Depending on the camera angle, the shadows on the table change, in a larger and uninterrupted area in the overhead shot. (00:06:50)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Emma is late for the party; Jim says that maybe he should go check on her, to which his wife goes "Whaaat?" Notice the straw in her drink, pointed to her right. New shot, and it is pointing left. And when the guys scuttle away, the straws in her glass are two. (00:02:15)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Tech-savy Jim is asked to fix the wi-fi in the intro of the episode. With a shark-like grin Pam Chandler replies he'll be "only too happy to help", and raises above her bosom the hand with the sunglasses. Jim passes her in the next shot, where her hand is low to the point of being out of frame. (00:01:20)

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.

Question: When Richard reminisces about England, he talks about going to the pub and having a pint. Yet the whole time he's in Saint Marie, he is never seen to drink alcohol with the rest of the team; only cups of tea. Why?

Answer: Most likely they had only tropical exotic drinks, he wanted an old fashioned English beer.
