Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Kim Neville answers Richard's first question ("Almost a year"), she has her hand in front of her lips in the view from behind, hands on her lap in the fuller view later. This continuity gap keeps happening also at the end of the scene before Fidel arrives. (00:10:30)

Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When the doctor introduces the various guests to Richard and Camille, the close-up on Alex features him at an angle and under a lighting that have nothing to do with the rest of the scene. (00:08:55)

Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In the prologue, Roger Seymour is snogging his attractive young lover. She has her fan in her left hand when he says "I won't be long", but the fan is gone (and in her right hand) in the next shot. (00:00:40)

Episode #2.5 - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: In the beginning the man who takes care of food and drinks hurt his fingers. Only in the last scene we see that he has bandages around the hurt fingers for the first time.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: I thought the same but actually he wears the correct bandage in the scenes after the murder, all the time. The tape is hard to spot because of the color and is not in frame a lot, but in the scene when he is back on the boat "for the knives" you can spot the tape at minute 21, when he says "Except for the cocktails she was drinking", and in the crab scene he is also sporting the bandage.

Episode #2.5 - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Fidel and Dwayne are enlisting the help of the stoner guy (who just happens to be there where they need him in a gigantic coincidence!). When he asks them if then he can be a policeman, Dwayne sends him off; his arm is above/at level with his shoulder but at the cut it is not in frame. (00:33:25)

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.
