Episode #2.4 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Fidel walks away from Liz Curtis almost tripping like an idiot and making a fool out of himself in general, Kelly Adams has her fingers in front of her mouth and chin in the front views, but not in the reverse shots. (00:15:55)

Continuity mistake: Fidel is examining the corpse of Dr Ian Parks. Poole asks him then how did he know that the gun was being restored.

Episode #2.4 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Richard makes his way from the taxi to the camp in the jungle. He passes by the suspect wearing a denim shirt (Chris Winchester), who sports a hairdo with several curls on his forehead. Cut to him passing by the suspect with a derpy face (Daniel Morgan), and Chris is in the background, slightly out of focus but with a clear forehead. (00:07:55)

Episode #2.4 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Frustrated by getting only white noise on the telly, DI Richard Poole puts the remote down. He puts it down at a sharp angle, with most of it off the book on the stand, but in the shot featuring the iconic lizard the remote is mostly on top of the book. (00:06:00)

Episode #2.4 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Dwayne goes to investigate the accident in the caves wishing a happy weekend to his bosses. Camille then flashes two fliers; from the front, the one in her left hand is the one on top of the other, from the back, it's the right one. (00:03:45)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

DI Jack Mooney: My grandfather told me a story once, about these two wolves fighting inside all of us. And one of them is anger, envy, self-pity, regret. The other one is love, truth, faith, hope, that sort of thing.
And I asked him "which one of the wolves would win?" And do you know what he said?
"The one you feed."

Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

Trivia: A bit of the episode has been cut for the streaming releases; at the end of the scene with Humphrey taking Martha's luggage, he would make a date with her for the next day, to cook dinner for her at 8. This has been eliminated probably because it created timing issues with 8 PM being too well lit (in contrast with the supposed timing of the murder) and the ending takes place at Catherine's for a cute drinking scene anyway.

Show generally

Question: When Richard reminisces about England, he talks about going to the pub and having a pint. Yet the whole time he's in Saint Marie, he is never seen to drink alcohol with the rest of the team; only cups of tea. Why?

Answer: Most likely they had only tropical exotic drinks, he wanted an old fashioned English beer.
