Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: All the local crew is at Catherine's having beers - including Commissioner Selwyn Patterson in a very rare sighting without the uniform. The bottle of Tensel in front of Camille faces different directions between shots. (00:49:35)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, DI Humphrey Goodman repeatedly points his finger when he says that the "why" was "most elusive." The next shot has his arm completely still, close to the body, and from behind you can see he is not talking, just a little nod before the cut. (00:43:25)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Goodman makes the last guttural noise with his throat burnt by Catherine's rum, Camille's hand is in inconsistent positions between shots, at the side of her head or under the chin. (00:30:50)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Camille introduces Humphrey and her mother, the extras in the background make various gestures, with in particular the man at the right edge of the frame suddenly drinking off his bottle in the shot when Kris Marshall says "Thank you." (00:29:05)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Camille has a moment of grief with her mom, but Humphrey arrives with "Ah, Dwayne said I'd find you here." Catherine turns around and puts her arm on the chair's back before the cut to a new shot, when she is still holding Camille's hand. Similarly, Camille then introduces Goodman leaning back with her arm on the back of the chair...or not, since in the wider angle her arm is down. (00:29:00)
Episode #3.1 - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When DI Humphrey Goodman says "So, we're left with four friends", Dwayne behind him is holding some documents. Change of view, and he is leaning with both hands on the desk. (00:19:50)
Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.
