Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Camille tells Humphrey about having a date with a swimwear model, she has her index finger less than one inch away from the label of the folder in the front views, but in the reverse the hand is noticeably lower on the page. (00:21:55)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Goodman asks Yasmin Blake about the tour, and he traces the path on the map on the wall. In close-up, it's a right hand that does all the gesturing, but in the wider angles Kris Marshall has his right hand in his pocket, and it's the left he uses for that purpose. (00:23:15)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Camille picks up a small copy of the map from Yasmin Blake's booth. She turns it 90° and drums its side with her fingers, but when the editing returns to the previous camera angle as it's time to leave, she's holding the map the same way as before, and with her hand firm on the side. (00:23:30)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Character mistake: After a long day of various inquiries around the island and a lot of roaming and chit-chatting, DS Camille Bordey and DI Humphrey Goodman go back to the station wondering "if the photographs from Matthew Webster's camera have finished downloading." (00:23:50)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey basically sums up the case after he calls Dwayne "Master of the Understatement", Kris Marshall depending on the camera angle does his weird gesticulations with the left or the right arm. (00:26:25)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Goodman sticks on Dwayne the task of surveilling Captain Jack Parrot messing up his hot dating plans, Dwayne lowers his hand, and in the next shot he has it back up again. (00:26:55)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Deliberate mistake: When Fidel pops behind Humphrey with the walking cane, in nonsensical fashion his cane switches hands in the brief moment when the camera moves from behind him to the front of Humph. It has to be deliberate since there is no cut, but Fidel is standing still both times, and Gary Carr must have done a sudden swap that has no reason. (00:28:20)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene with the swimsuit model, the waiter comes out from behind the counter, moves behind Camille, but takes a couple seconds after he goes out of frame for him to appear behind Samuel Anderson. (00:28:30)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: During the funny exchange when Dwayne is on surveillance and the other two are not and argue about that, the bottle of Tensel beer in front of Fidel faces opposites directions between shots. (00:30:35)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Humphrey checks in at the station in the morning, and he has one extra coffee cup. When he asks Fidel about the cane, he is holding the cups with his fingers positioned higher up against the lids. (00:31:55)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Dwayne just barely survived his attempt to outdrink Captain Jack Parrot. Camille asks him "Do you actually remember anything?" He answers, and there's a cut to Kris Marshall shifting position as he listens intently - but he's precisely in the same position and stance the moment the camera cuts back to the previous angle. Same a few lines later when Camille asks "Is that it?"; she hunches over, but she is standing next to Dwayne without a single change once the quick cut is over. (00:35:25)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Humphrey recalls 'the happiest two weeks' of his life and suddenly stops at the mention of the keyword "eggs." Seen from behind, he leaves the desk (Camille asks "Sir?") but he's still standing there in the next shot, and moves away only after a second. (00:37:20)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey finally realises the obvious clue and begins doing his handwaving hocus-pocus, he asks Fidel to check the egg theft; his arm is raised, lower, raised depending on the angle. He then turns towards the whiteboard and he's pointing the left hand, or right hand, again with a sudden change dependant on the camera view. (00:37:25)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Once Kris Marshall wins his staredown with the whiteboard, he exclaims; "It's you and it works!" and turns towards Fidel and Camille. Fidel in the background is holding the documents in a single pile, which become one for each hand as it cuts to a closer view. (00:38:30)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Having (more) beers with Captain Jack at the end of the episode, Dwayne tells him "You've been like a cat on a hot tin roof"; a woman wearing a blue dress walks past them. Seconds later in the convo, in a close-up Paul Barber asks "Which you?" and the same woman is passing again, and with her two guys in green and purple from a previous shot. (00:49:25)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Captain Jack tells Dwayne"They didn't make it" before the Monty Python quote-a-thon, the bottles in front of them rotated between shots. (00:50:45)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: There's a rather burly woman with short blonde hair and a pink dress in the very last shot of the episode. She is an extra that keeps popping around in the ending scene at different times (before Dwayne's hot tin roof line, and during Catherine's magical angry bird memory). (00:51:35)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Factual error: Humphrey and the rest of the crew arrive on the murder scene, where Fidel is taking pictures of the body. With the knife fully planted inside the victim and pictures still to be taken, Fidel is already able to say that the knife has been wiped clean of prints; it's impossible that he could have already done such an assessment at that point.
Episode #3.7 - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: Fidel finds the bullet; during this preliminary examination, the shirt of the victim is suddenly all neat and pressed in the shot when he looks down at it after Goodman's question ("Why is he not wearing a shirt?"). Moreover, the shirt in the close-up is fully sunlit, and it is not in the wider angles. (00:06:30)
Episode #3.7 - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: Humphrey is going through the various whereabouts of the suspects at the time of the gunshot. Emily Benoit says she was taking a shower. Her hands are on the table and are arms don't move, but in the following shot when Humphreys faces the nicer son, she has one hand on the table, the other in her lap. (00:09:25)
Answer: Most likely they had only tropical exotic drinks, he wanted an old fashioned English beer.
