Character mistake: Richard makes it sound really special and important that the tea in the box is Camelia Sinensis...but that tells absolutely nothing, since it's simply the name of the tea plant, not a specific, precious variety of it. Your standard tea you buy at the supermarket is just as Camelia Sinensis as any other type of tea. (00:08:40)
Continuity mistake: When Aunt Mary is writing on the whiteboard at the hospital, the word "killed" changes style between shots. (00:31:40)

DI Richard Poole: Really? What was your motive?
Neville: He owed me money?
DI Richard Poole: Did he?
