Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.7 - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: There are two separate scenes in a market area. In the first, Dwayne is working his special islander charm and explains to JP in person and to DI Goodman on phone something about an altercation the victim had with the tour guide Bill Williams. They go from the station to his impounded office and interview him. Then they reach Dwayne and JP back at the market. Many minutes must have passed then, and yet in both scenes there are always the same extras (guy with a red and white striped tee, for instance) as passersby. (00:25:50 - 00:28:05)

Episode #4.7 - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Humphrey is rewriting the timeline of the murder (s); he adds 12 AM on the board, and the green line is touching the red number two. That's in the wide angles, because in close-up when he adds "Suffucated", the line is shorter and does not touch the hour anymore. But the mistake does not end here; when he walks away after this close-up, you can see that the time written on board is back to "3 AM", the wrong one. (00:24:20)

Episode #4.7 - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Dwayne chickens out of the team-building exercise and the phone rings. Goodman puts momentarily his hands to his hips but leaves instantly the position letting the jacket loose - yet at the cut with everyone trying to storm back in saying "I'll get it", he has still his hands on the hips, keeping the jacket pulled back.

Episode #4.7 - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Impervious to hangovers as usual, DI Goodman is back at work in the morning. During the scene, DS Florence Cassell's hair is messy when the camera is to her right staring at Dwayne, way more neat in the shots of the room with the camera to her left. (00:21:50)

Episode #4.7 - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: At Catherine's, Goodman witnesses the sister of the victim being drunk and disorderly. He leans with his arm on the back of the chair to get a better view, but blatantly in the reverse shot he also raises his hand to rest his chin on it - all gone when we get back to the original angle.
