Death in Paradise

Melodies of Murder - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: The Commissioner visits Jack at his desk to get updates. Jack is busy with the tuning fork; during the sequence it is quite evident that the distance between his hand and the fork is different in the two main camera angles used. (00:32:00)

Continuity mistake: Florence is listening to the tape recording with her arms folded. When Jack and Dwayne say that the two on tape had an affair, Florence makes a comment; her hand is raised open or on her upper arm depending on the angle. (00:33:10)

Plot hole: The plot resolution hinges on the fact that the culprit gave the illusion of the door being locked while the lock was already broken. And he did that by jamming under the door a rusty old fork, through the usage of a string. However, this appears really far-fetched to say the least; if the door was obstructed by an object under it, it would have not given way as if the lock was busted. It would have dragged, created a screeching noise and scraping the floor leaving visible marks (which considered it's a locked room mystery, would have been investigated). The person breaking in was Jack, even, who is supposed to be really perceptive and crime-savvy and not the average person.

Murder on the Honore Express - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: When Florence pulls up next to D.I. Jack Mooney, every time the camera is directly on her, she has a seatbelt on. Every time the camera pans to the mirror reflection of her, she doesn't. (00:32:00)

Switcharoo - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: Emma brings Neville a plate with a sandwich, cut in half, while he is in the laundry room. Neville picks up the half of the sandwich closest to him, looks at it, and puts it back on the plate. He then picks up the half of the sandwich farthest from him, holds it for a brief minute, then puts it back on the plate. Only, the half farthest from him is already on the plate when he puts the one he's holding back. You need to look closely as this one was tough to catch. (00:33:20 - 00:33:45)

Switcharoo - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: Emma brings Neville a sandwich in the laundry room. Neville picks up the half closest to him and puts it back down. He then picks up the half farthest from him, holds it for a brief minute. When he puts it back on the plate, the half farthest from him is already there and he puts down the half closest to him. This was a tough one and I had to watch a few times. (00:33:20 - 00:33:45)
