Death in Paradise

Episode #1.7 - S1-E7

Factual error: The victim has been shot while he was lying in the coffin with his arms crossed. Somehow, he keeps his arms perfectly crossed even when he's dead, despite being carried around in a casket propped in vertical position merely a little more than 15 minutes later. Rigor mortis takes way longer to begin, his lifeless arms would have flailed off position a long time before, not stayed in the dramatic mummy position with no supports to hold them in place.

Episode #1.8 - S1-E8

Factual error: In the close-up of the password from Antigua and Barbuda, the nationality listed is "Antiguan", while as redundant as it seems, official passports from that country list it as "Antiguan and Barbudan." It also has no place of birth listed at all. (00:24:20)

Episode #2.7 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Fidel and Dwayne arrive at the place where Camille and Richard are hiding for the hurricane, they can open the doors without a problem, whereas Camille and Richard had taken great care of locking the doors from the inside.

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.
