Murder from Above - S7-E1

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

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)

Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Florence talk to Hugh, Florence's top when she is shot from behind has the two straps on her left shoulder about one inch apart, while they are joined close in the front views. The mistake goes on throughout the whole scene. (00:32:50)

Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Audio problem: When Jack and Florence talk to the club treasurer drinking lemonade, several times in shots where Ardal O'Hanlon is out of focus in the foreground you can hear his voice being dubbed in while he was doing simple a stand-in role without opening his mouth. (00:26:20)

Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When the police visit the club treasurer Charlotte Hamilton, in the opening wide shot Jack's tie curves sharply because of the wind, but before the cut the wind breaks and the tie gets down. However in the next shot his tie is all the way windblown. Likewise, Charlotte's bang in that same shot is messy and upturned, but is back to normal in the next one. (00:25:35)

Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: Jack and Florence are interrogating the instructor Adam Warner at the club. During the scene there are transitions between frontal views of the suspect and wide shots of the whole terrace with everyone sitting. Each time, Rory Fleck Byrne's hand switches place, being on the armrest in one shot, on the thigh in the next, etc. (00:18:25)

The Healer - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Dwayne apologizes to Darlene. She puts a hand on his chest telling him he has just one more chance. The hand changes position in the next couple of cuts. (00:50:55)

The Healer - S7-E4

Other mistake: The coroner report that mentions the nicotine poisoning has also as information in the first column that the victim came from the hospital with a suspected stab wound. That bit of information makes no sense and it's not mentioned in any way. Reused prop? (00:19:00)

The Healer - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Jack inspecting the box in the victim's house is holding the old picture with his hand positioned on the corner/side in close-up, but it was in the middle of the bottom side when he picked it up. And another dramatic change happens in the cut that follows once he reads the names. (00:18:30)

The Healer - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: When at the beginning of the episode Pastor Steadman King is holding brother Marius to heal him with faith, he's holding him by the arms, the wrists, the palms, in a continuous jump between cuts. (00:01:30)
