The Healer - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene with Jack and Florence asking the Reverend about the old engagement, Jack shot from the front moves in between questions as he interacts with his colleague, but the stand-in whose arm can be seen in foreground during Steve Toussaint's lines is perfectly still and never moves an inch. (00:20:15)
The Healer - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: After the chat with the nephew of the victim, Jack is back at the police station and he rhetorically asks if the others managed to solve the case while he was away. Dwayne answers from his desk "Sorry Chief, not quite", being in a different position in close-up than in the wider shot. (00:24:55)
The Healer - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: After making an excuse with Darlene, Dwayne tells JP the rule one of the datebook. Tobi Bakare has entirely different posture and facial expression even with Dwayne's statement in continuity between shots. (00:15:50)
The Healer - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: In the initial meeting with the suspects, Jack refers to Steadman King 's activity as "the faith-healing malarkey." He is making a gesture pointing at the pastor, but midway through it there's a cut and his hand in the foreground is firmly planted into his pants' pocket instead. (00:08:15)
The Healer - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: Inspecting the body, Jack and Dwayne crouch by the victim. Dwayne repeats the action in the close-up, and his right hand is turned a different way between shots. (00:06:30)
Continuity mistake: When Jack realises the obvious and waves the calling card around, he's holding it in a different way between shots, with the thumb in the upper corner as he shouts "I know who Otis Falconer is." (00:41:25)
Continuity mistake: After the chat with Gilly White taking out of the trash, Jack picks a bottle to show it to Florence; he holds the bottle by upper or lower part of its neck, depending on the camera angle. (00:12:20)
Continuity mistake: When Florence reads the morning note left by the victim, in close-up she's holding it in a different way than in the following view; from one hand it goes to both hands, and the Bic pen in the second shot passes between index and middle, not the case in close-up. (00:06:35)
Continuity mistake: On the beach after identifying the murder weapon as a knife, Jack walks off and says that there are 1,000 ways to kill a man. Officer Dwayne Myers is holding the camera at belt level and with both hands, but in the next close-up on Ardal O'Hanlon he's in the background with the arm down his side, the camera reaching the knee. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Officer Dwayne Myers pulls the shades from the sock; he is holding them in a different way between shot and reverse (fingers on the lens vs fingers on the hinge). (00:12:00)
Character mistake: Dwayne tells Jack on the crime scene that the victim (who had two aces, with one ace on the board) he had "three of a kind or as the pros say, trips." Pros don't say "trips" to that though, since "trips" happens when two cards matching one you have in hand are on the table. Holding the pair makes it a "set." (00:06:25)
Plot hole: The murder as described makes kinda sense (it's a device used in other works of fiction), but not at all as shown; the person hiding in the bathroom closes the door to the point of making it click, and opens it also with a click. Even panicked, the other person in the room is going to hear the sound of a lock right behind him. The door should have been closed only partially. Moreover, the bathroom door is right by the front door closed just by the door chain, and Philip Marston had the door unlocked and with just the chain to break; the bathroom door was fully in his view the whole time.
Other mistake: The text message used as ploy to cover up the murder was sent at 17:44, but during the flashback showing the killer setting up the murder scene, a wristwatch on the vanity is at about 10 o'clock. (00:44:25)
Continuity mistake: After the obligatory ultimatum visit by the Commissioner, Jack asks Florence for good news. When she chirps that she -really - found something, her hands drop in the close-up, but are holding the headphones steady and up in the next shot. (00:32:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jack speaks to Florence about his ambiguous intention to spend some quality time with the Commissioner, he changes position in between shots, with his excited fist raised while his left hand disappears from sight. (00:15:10)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Other mistake: Something happened to Daisy Anderson, so everyone starts looking for her car. JP says it is locked, but in the close-up of Jack looking inside from the window, you can see the knob of the lock is pulled up. That car is unlocked. (00:06:50)
Character mistake: Florence grabs the victim's phone with a tissue to avoid leaving prints...but then uses her other bare hand to go through her messages via touchscreen. In many other scenes she's just seen wearing latex gloves. (00:12:30)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Darlene asks, and Jack turns to point with his cane where Dwayne went. Next shot and seen from behind Jack never moved, he's facing ahead and left. (00:01:45)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Factual error: The 1966 Ford Mustang 289 belonging to the victim has registration plates from Hawaii, but "DY 536 HR" does not follow the correct format for Hawaiian license plates at that year, or any year for that matter.
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Other mistake: The day of the murder was February 1st 2018, a Thursday, exactly as stated also by the answering machine early in the episode. When Jack checks out (really really late, while any investigator would have easily worked with that data right away, asking them to the provider even, together with the cell phone info) the victim's satnav, it says that her 1 PM trip happened "Sat", a Saturday. (00:04:50 - 00:34:55)
Answer: Most likely they had only tropical exotic drinks, he wanted an old fashioned English beer.
