Death in Paradise

Episode #3.5 - S3-E5

Character mistake: Fidel says that the victim "removed" the hard drive of his laptop, even pointing out an empty slot where the HD would be. During his massive overacting when he figures out of the solution of the case, Humphrey says that Jacob "wiped" the hard drive. (00:21:40 - 00:41:00)

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Character mistake: When Camille and Humphrey browse the writers' message board, the post done by Arnold Finch under the pen name of "Grumpywriter" contains a variety of spelling mistakes unbecoming of a writer (but that often happen in this show's prop department) such as "unnecasary" "tallentless imbecel." Earlier (hard to catch it without slo-mo in this case) in his mail we see him ask about puffer fish poison and "it's toxicity" and sign the mail with "Sincerly." The subject of another mail in the inbox is "Updated Shedule." (00:22:30)

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.

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.
