Death in Paradise

The Healer - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Florence proposes to dance, and Jack says no; when she replies "Whatever you say, sir" the bottle of Etensel beer in her hand shows the logo. Cut, and the actress is holding the bottle in a different way, with the back label on display instead. (00:51:20)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene with Jack and Florence asking the Reverend about the old engagement, Jack shot from the front moves in between questions as he interacts with his colleague, but the stand-in whose arm can be seen in foreground during Steve Toussaint's lines is perfectly still and never moves an inch.

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. (00:22:50)

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Question: Why don't they even think of pretending the victim just drunkenly tripped in the kitchen while getting a sandwich, and his sister-in-law reflexively tried to catch him, unfortunately holding a knife? He thought he would live a few more minutes, so he could have backed up the story. Instead, everybody (victim and police) just takes it as given that the stabbing will reveal their relationship.
