Plot hole: The big locked room mystery is such only because the detectives build it up as one; they don't make any remark about the fact that the door can be locked from inside without the need of a key, they don't check the door frame or the lock (which would have revealed that it was bashed open while unlocked) and they do not even consider for a moment the idea that someone could have made a copy of the keys, which is the first thing anyone would have assumed. Not just that; nobody on the floor who has been working at the bank for years says anything about some cleaning lady they haven't ever seen before and that happens to be the first respondant to the murder.

Continuity mistake: When Aunt Mary is writing on the whiteboard at the hospital, the word "killed" changes style between shots. (00:31:40)
Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
DI Richard Poole: Everyone had a motive.
Neville : Ahem, you missed someone.
DI Richard Poole: No.
Neville: Me!
DI Richard Poole: Well, you didn't do it...
Neville: Could have!
DI Richard Poole: Really? What was your motive?
Neville: He owed me money?
DI Richard Poole: Did he?
Neville: No.
[DI Richard Poole sighs, shakes his head and moves on]. (00:46:05)
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. (00:22:50)
Question: Why did the cord on the wall phone in the police station change from straight in the early episodes to coiled later?

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.
