Continuity mistake: It's time for a motive for Kim Sweeney, and the inspector and DS go to interview her. She is in her bed, surrounded by used paper tissues, which change position between shots. (00:33:45)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Anouk Laban, Humphrey Goodman gets all defensive saying that "we're not all like that", placing his hand on his hip. Before and after this attempt at humour, Kris Marshall has his arm on the bar counter. (00:21:50)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: The victim's fiancée prepares a green smoothie and answers the questions of the police about the private investigator's findings. When she points the picture on the counter, notice how in close-up there are no photos directly by DS Florence Cassell's arm, and in the other shots there are. The whole position of the pictures seems to vary at each cut. (00:20:50)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Goodman and Cassell are interviewing the pasty white brother of the victim at his hut. During the scene, the folder Humphrey holds close to his body is positioned differently (horizontal/vertical) as the two main camera angles alternate in the dialogue. When Gary puts on a shirt, the folder even switches hands, blatantly. (00:18:10)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Florence drives into the pothole by Goodman's instructions; when he goes "Whaa!" and throws the papers in the air, the actress' hands turn around on the wheel, with the right hand at 2 o' clock - but it's nowhere to be seen in the next shot, and the left is almost at the zenith, when the wheel was turning the opposite direction. (00:17:40)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Florence calls Humphrey's attention announcing that the brother of the victim has a criminal record, she's holding the pen with the cap towards herself. Cut, and the pen is pointed in the opposite direction. (00:16:30)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: DI Goodman holds the recently sharpened knife and goes through a few smug ways to tell Dwayne the chef was left-handed. The knife faces a different direction depending on the shot's angle - towards Dwayne in Danny John-Jules' close-up, upwards when he says 'left-handed'. (00:07:30)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Commissioner Selwyn Patterson puts down at the end of the episode a deck of cards and the glass with his drink. He then helps Aunt Mary up, and with the table again in view, both the deck and the glass shifted to the right by a couple of tableboards. (00:44:50)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When at the end of the denouement Neil Jenkins and Freddie Hamilton are face to face, the tears that were running all the way down the face of the actor have been wiped clean, leaving just a bit below the eye. (00:45:10)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey opens the bag, various items fall on the table including a small trophy cup, which lands perfectly vertical on its base. In the subsequent close-up of the messy table, the cup is lying down, and all the various items (look at the conch) are just scattered around differently than before. (00:45:00)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Ella, when asked, says that she does not know about the money, and leans back with her left hand on the lounger - but she has her arms in her lap in the next shot. (00:32:20)
15th Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac (2019)
Der Aufstieg des Phoenix - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: During Nero's flashback, the right half of his head and most of his body are into the shadow after he gets hit by his sensei, but fully sunlit when the camera is behind the brute. (00:06:00)
15th Apr 2020
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac (2019)
Continuity mistake: Shiryu puts the medal on Seiya's chest (no idea where he found the string to craft a necklace with that). Pegasus coughs and the medal shifts a little, but not by much. The three remaining knights talk and vow to get the armor back while they leave the moribund lying there. He does not move during that, and yet when they take off the dog tag moved more to the left. (00:16:55)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Neil Jenkins starts spilling the beans about being previously acquainted with Robert Daws' character. Right before the flashback when he meets him at the hotel, he is putting the towel around his wife's shoulders, at the edge of the frame. Several seconds later, after finishing the story, his wife is sitting on the lounger and he puts the towel around her shoulders again, this time with better framing. (00:32:30)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Neil Jenkins is sitting while his wife is swimming in the pool. She comes out; notice Jenkins' left arm and his watch; the watch faces towards Dwayne when he asks "So why did you lie to us?", towards his right when he answers. (00:33:15)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: The white lid of Humphrey's soup changes position between shots; it sticks out from the board during certain close-ups (like when Catherine cautions the police people or Aunt May says "nuts to that"), not so in the wider angle. (00:26:00)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Goodman is at the hospital, tasting the soup famously loathed by his predecessor DI Richard Poole. Florence opens the door with her right, and the case file folder in her left. Cut, and the folder is in her right, rolled. Cut again, and she's holding it straight. (00:25:50)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When JP picks up the passport of the victim, in close-up he holds it with his right hand at the bottom - but it's at the top at the first cut. (00:25:20)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: The decoration in Aunt May's glass during the chat about Humphrey's Marvellous Magic Show changes position between shots. (00:19:35)
15th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: At the botanical gardens, DS Florence Cassel is showing the photo of the deceased to other visitors. In close-up, she lowers the left hand with the notepad, but she has that hand up in the faraway shot that follows. (00:12:45)
