Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Dwayne's bottle of Etensel is facing opposite directions when he tries to act as if he didn't see his boss embarrass himself at the bar; the label faces the camera when the camera is to his right, and to his left. (00:50:35)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: After the mishap at the bar counter, Humphrey reunites with Dwayne and Florence. He puts the glass on the table when he sits down, but in the next shot he's still holding it and only after a while he puts it back down. (00:50:40)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey sits at the killer's table, they have the right hand on the left elbow in the first shot, both arms forward in the next. (00:45:55)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: In an uncharacteristic display of authority, Humphrey orders Sadie Mernier to go back to her chair and answer the rather personal questions. She walks back with her shades in her right hand, and in the shot when she slumps back in the chair, the sunglasses are in the left. (00:37:10)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Humphrey sat down with the photographer, and asks him about the incident that bankrupted his previous agency. He says "Of course I would", scowling and putting the right hand on his left arm. Reverse shot, and his hand is on his knee. (00:34:05)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Florence advises Humphrey to "just be yourself." The slice of lemon is on (her) left side of the glass. Reverse shot and it's the right side, then it is back on the left side, where it remains for the rest of the scene. (00:28:35)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Florence walks towards Goodman reading the post-mortem results; before the cut, you can see Kris Marshall's chin leaning on his right hand, but he has the opposite hand up and the right one down when he comments on the 'small mercies'. (00:23:20)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: DI Humphrey Goodman writes the name of the victim on the whiteboard, in a close-up. He then starts enumerating the suspects, but the name changed penmanship - look at the odd shape of the E linked to the previous letter, or the suddenly shallow M. (00:13:50)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Rosey Fabrice visits the police station the morning after the murder. Dwayne puts his moves on her and places his hand on the back of her chair, but in the close-ups his arm and hand are simply not there. (00:12:10)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Humphrey and Florence are checking out of the crime scene the morning after. When Florence says "Also, if she's telling the truth" the pen did a 180° turn in her hand; it had the ballpoint up, now it has the cap. (00:10:45)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey turns towards Florence to mutter instructions about checking the case with the UK police, Joséphine Jobert's hand is positioned on the top side of the notepad, and in a different position at the cut. (00:09:50)
14th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Sadie Mernier tells the police about the victim's stalker. In close-ups, her large hoop earring is caught between her hand and her face. Camera further back, and the earring is on the outside. (00:09:35)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: In the intro, Zoe appears all of a sudden by the stage entrance; the other two models were on the runway with nobody there before the cut. (00:00:15)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: During the opening party, extras are recycled - in particular, a man with a white fedora appears multiple times, sometimes with shades, other times not. (00:02:00)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Humphrey writes the various names on his whiteboard. In the close-ups that immediately follow (and in those later in the episode, but days have passed meanwhile so it's more understandable) the letters have partially faded. (00:14:15)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Humphrey tells Florence to stop the car and points at Andy Hammond. As we see him through the dirty window of the Defender, a couple (woman in pink tee, man in pattern blue and white shirt) passes by him. When Humphrey opens the car door, they are in the background, far away. Next shot when he begins his short lived tailing, and those guys are again passing the politician by. (00:35:35)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: Dwayne hands DI Humphrey Goodman the telephone with the pictures of the drill holes; in close-up, Goodman's fingertips are barely against the sides, while in the other shots the fingers wrap more closely around the device. (00:23:55)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Florence answers Humphrey's question about the french word for "affair", she is holding her pen in hand with the thumb at the bottom. Next shot, with the enraged president standing up, and she's placid in a different position, her hand turned to support her chin. (00:22:20)
13th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey explains the findings of the post-mortem, he speaks waving his right arm around - in front views, because it's the left when the camera is behind him. (00:14:40)
