Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: Humphrey and the team receive the decisive last clue from Saint Marie; on the Scotland Yard PC, in the inbox there are tons of emails marked as 'today' that come from places like the Guadeloupe lab and instead days old. (00:34:35)

Man Overboard: Part 1 - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: Dwayne turns the volume of the computer in DI Jack Mooney's office; when we start hear him, the volume has gone up just a few notches, but it's already just as loud in the end as it is when Dwayne finishes to set it. (00:29:10)

The Secret of the Flame Tree - S6-E2

Revealing mistake: Florence shows to her boss a copy of the birth certificate of Lizzie Baptiste. It is signed "Overseas British Territory of Saint Marie", dates back to 1954 with a photostatic copy of the original typewritten entry, and her school certificate is also written in English. Saint Marie though, according to its fictional history, was part of France at the time, having been a British territory only for 30 years before Season 1 (set in 2011). (00:25:40)

Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

Revealing mistake: When Dwayne holds the copy of the local newspaper with his goat comment making the headline, the text of the article repeats itself; you can see aligned in both columns the name of the commissioner accompanied by "pictured right." (00:23:15)

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Revealing mistake: Florence and Humphrey are reading the article about the young Dexter Allen from the Hackney Gazette. Behind the article, Florence has her mail open. Amazingly enough, the names of the people she received mail from (Joshua, David, Faye, a Customer service) are the same ones as the victims in She Was Murdered Twice, season 4 episode 7 when one of the suspects opened it from a public computer.

Dishing Up Murder - S5-E6

Revealing mistake: While they are checking out Matt Holt's discount Facebook page (Face-spaces dot com) on the computer, behind the browser window there's an open file with a fingerprint, and like in another episode of this series, it's a fingerprint not related at all to this case, but one from three years earlier, the episode of season 3 "Ye of Little Faith", this time from the victim of that case Natasha Thiebert.

One for the Road - S5-E2

Revealing mistake: When Humphrey checks out of the mail from the dating website at the end of the episode, behind the window of the mail client, there's a fingerprint file with the name "Adam Frost" and a 2014 sampling date; it's a file recycled from two seasons before, 3-4. (00:49:55)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Revealing mistake: The diary page you retrieve while Saori is unconscious with the Crow knight still in the stadium has just the same sentence repeated over and over.

Episode #4.6 - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: Florence passes a mug of coffee to her boss, who goes on to sit in his chair and have a tragic overacting accident. However, when things were still normal and he merely approached the desk, you could see Florence already stop drinking and frown preoccupied before anything bad happened. (00:06:10)

Episode #4.5 - S4-E5

Revealing mistake: Florence prints the first page from the Saint Marie newspaper, from a generic "Thursday 12th"; the whole first page is taken by the news of the fire destroying the recording studio...but half of the article talks about "the world's largest message in a bottle", instead. (00:16:25)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Season 1 generally

Revealing mistake: In most episodes of the season, the computers at the station lack the power cable. It might make sense in the very first episode when it is mentioned that they aren't in a working state, but under Richard's guidance they routinely use it afterwards. For instance in episode 3 Camille during Tom Hilton's interview, Camille is looking at an active computer screen despite it being unplugged.

Sammo

Episode #4.2 - S4-E2

Revealing mistake: Camille puts the name of the victim and "Watergate" as search terms, and manages to find the relevant news item from the past. The URL of the website though is just the one of the (fictitious) homepage (watergatenews.org), and not of a specific article. Moreover, the article is half relevant info, and half generic guide about surfing with a brisk cut from one to the other. (00:21:50)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: Dwayne finds a newspaper which hilariously happens to have a perfect close-up photo of one of the suspects out of the thousands of protesters, right on the first page. Couple of problems with it; first, the text is just 2 paragraphs copy/pasted all over, and second, more blatant; the caption of the photo says "Valerie Clayton", but Dwayne just called her "Valerie Pellow." (00:33:00)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: Goodman and Bordey are interviewing Terrance Jackson after the revelation involving Rosie. During the scene, in most shots despite the storm that supposedly is happening, the leaves outside are subjected to a gentle breeze if at all. (00:26:00)

Sammo

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: Dwayne aided by Emily is bringing in the two boxes of papers from the storage. Transporting them is a difficult task with the storm that is raging on. A strange storm that happens to shake the plants in the foreground, but with Caroline Proust's hair and the leaves of the trees on the other side completely untouched. (00:16:40)
