Death in Paradise

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)

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Plot hole: Leon Hamilton is the most hated man in Sainte Marie, with over 900 people on the island conned by him. Yet exactly one person in the whole island knows how he looks like, every newspaper and website never ever published a picture of him even during the very public trial when they were trying to get their thousands of dollars back nor publish an archive picture after his death.
