Death in Paradise

Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When the police visit the club treasurer Charlotte Hamilton, in the opening wide shot Jack's tie curves sharply because of the wind, but before the cut the wind breaks and the tie gets down. However in the next shot his tie is all the way windblown. Likewise, Charlotte's bang in that same shot is messy and upturned, but is back to normal in the next one. (00:25:35)

Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: Jack and Florence are interrogating the instructor Adam Warner at the club. During the scene there are transitions between frontal views of the suspect and wide shots of the whole terrace with everyone sitting. Each time, Rory Fleck Byrne's hand switches place, being on the armrest in one shot, on the thigh in the next, etc. (00:18:25)

The Healer - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Jack inspecting the box in the victim's house is holding the old picture with his hand positioned on the corner/side in close-up, but it was in the middle of the bottom side when he picked it up. And another dramatic change happens in the cut that follows once he reads the names. (00:18:30)

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.
