Death in Paradise

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Character mistake: Richard makes it sound really special and important that the tea in the box is Camelia Sinensis...but that tells absolutely nothing, since it's simply the name of the tea plant, not a specific, precious variety of it. Your standard tea you buy at the supermarket is just as Camelia Sinensis as any other type of tea. (00:08:40)

Episode #2.2 - S2-E2

Character mistake: The prescription pills are labeled "Sister Therese", but Therese is not a nun yet (in the credits of the episode itself she is the one not labeled as such, but just by her name). (00:44:50)

Episode #2.2 - S2-E2

Character mistake: Throughout the episode, multiple times members of the clergy themselves talk about Therese not having yet received "holy orders." She would never have, considering that nuns only take "vows", the former are just for men.

Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Character mistake: The clinic who ran the tests for Roger Seymour's brain tumor surely does not employ just brain surgeons, because the spelling in the official report is simply atrocious ("apetite" (twice), "consistant"). (00:21:00)

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)

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.
