The Healer - S7-E4
Plot hole: If the person pretending to be Steadman wrote to his fiancée breaking off the engagement, wouldn't she recognise that it wasn't his handwriting? They had known each other for years, surely she had seen his handwriting before.
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Darlene asks, and Jack turns to point with his cane where Dwayne went. Next shot and seen from behind Jack never moved, he's facing ahead and left. (00:01:45)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Other mistake: The day of the murder was February 1st 2018, a Thursday, exactly as stated also by the answering machine early in the episode. When Jack checks out (really really late, while any investigator would have easily worked with that data right away, asking them to the provider even, together with the cell phone info) the victim's satnav, it says that her 1 PM trip happened "Sat", a Saturday. (00:04:50 - 00:34:55)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Other mistake: Something happened to Daisy Anderson, so everyone starts looking for her car. JP says it is locked, but in the close-up of Jack looking inside from the window, you can see the knob of the lock is pulled up. That car is unlocked. (00:06:50)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Uncharacteristically, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson joins the police investigation, at least at the very beginning. He takes his jacket off, and his tie reaches slightly below the belt of his pants. When he finds the body, the tie is a couple inches above the belt. Technically he is off-screen for what amounts of few minutes of plot, but it'd be ridiculous to picture him undoing his tie and making a tighter knot while he's in the middle of a search in the woods - he'd have just removed the tie and pocketed it entirely if it was being a nuisance. (00:07:05)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Officer J.P. Hooper hands DS Florence Cassell the item found in the glove box. The opening of the evidence bag flops at the bottom, but in the close-up, when she says that it's probably expensive, she holds the plastic flap against her palm, sideways. (00:12:25)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Jack and Florence are interrogating the instructor Adam Warner at the club. During the scene there are transitions between frontal views of the suspect and wide shots of the whole terrace with everyone sitting. Each time, Rory Fleck Byrne's hand switches place, being on the armrest in one shot, on the thigh in the next, etc. (00:18:25)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Hugh Davenport runs off when the two police officers walk by. Jack comments on that; in the first shot, Florence lowers her hand while the wind blows. Second shot, both hands hold the evidence bag mid-waist and there's no wind. (00:20:30)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: When the police visit the club treasurer Charlotte Hamilton, in the opening wide shot Jack's tie curves sharply because of the wind, but before the cut the wind breaks and the tie gets down. However in the next shot his tie is all the way windblown. Likewise, Charlotte's bang in that same shot is messy and upturned, but is back to normal in the next one. (00:25:35)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Audio problem: When Jack and Florence talk to the club treasurer drinking lemonade, several times in shots where Ardal O'Hanlon is out of focus in the foreground you can hear his voice being dubbed in while he was doing simple a stand-in role without opening his mouth. (00:26:20)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: During her interrogation, Charlotte Hamilton walks back to the table with a stronger drink. Before she sits down, the lemonade jug has more liquid in it than in the shots before and after. (00:26:45)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Factual error: The story is set in February 2018, but when Jack and Florence go talk to Hugh Davenport, he is reading the latest finance news.from the May 4th 2017 newspaper. (00:32:50)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Florence talk to Hugh, Florence's top when she is shot from behind has the two straps on her left shoulder about one inch apart, while they are joined close in the front views. The mistake goes on throughout the whole scene. (00:32:50)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Jack puts the CCTV CDs on the counter, and the owner of the club peeks at them folding the newspaper. In the next shot, the newspaper is straight as it was before. (00:32:55)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Audio problem: The address on the satnav is 35 Rue Dauphin, but Ardal O'Hanlon says 35 Rue D'Orphan (the close captions say as much too, it's not a personal interpretation). Florence correctly types Dauphin. (00:35:00)
Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5
Factual error: The 1966 Ford Mustang 289 belonging to the victim has registration plates from Hawaii, but "DY 536 HR" does not follow the correct format for Hawaiian license plates at that year, or any year for that matter.
Continuity mistake: After the intro, Florence reaches Jack at the shack and leans against the wall while he's whining about the speech he has to write about their boss. In all close-ups Joséphine Jobert's hair flows in front of her shoulder, but in the one wider angle (when she shrugs him off with "I don't know, sir") her hair is fully behind her back. (00:04:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jack speaks to Florence about his ambiguous intention to spend some quality time with the Commissioner, he changes position in between shots, with his excited fist raised while his left hand disappears from sight. (00:15:10)
Revealing mistake: Jack searches for Bryn Williams. We see the page with the results. Florence suggests him then to change to William Bryn, he types it, but the next close-up shows the results page with the query unchanged from before. Still, the bottom result (the top one are still all "Bryn Williams) is the one ("William Bryn") they are looking for. (00:16:20)
Continuity mistake: JP presents the key after his visit to Dread Locks; Tobi Bakare is holding the plastic bag in a different way throughout the scene (just one finger in the reverse shots) and at towards the end he lowers his hand in a shot but it's again up in the next. (00:27:10)
Answer: Most likely they had only tropical exotic drinks, he wanted an old fashioned English beer.
