Death in Paradise

The Complex Murder - S5-E1

Character mistake: Humphrey tells the riddle of the two barbers wrong; you have to set it up saying that the 'good' barber has a great haircut, not that he's great at cutting hair, or you negate its point (which is that the 'bad' barber with the bad haircut is the one who did the haircut to the good-looking barber, and vice-versa).

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Character mistake: The webpage Florence is using to get information about Pierre Lovell (which seems like a corporate official page), was written by someone who does not know how to spell "restaurateur", since it appears as "restauranteur", twice. (00:20:25)

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Character mistake: Matt Holt's profile contains a very minor typo (missing space between 'mother' and 'was') and lists his age as 20, while he's still 19, having his birthday in August. The biggest mistake though lies in the fact that it processes a request dated 29 of April; it should be the 30th, just like Gary's. (00:26:10)

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.

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.

Show generally

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.
