Death in Paradise

Switcharoo - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: Emma brings Neville a plate with a sandwich, cut in half, while he is in the laundry room. Neville picks up the half of the sandwich closest to him, looks at it, and puts it back on the plate. He then picks up the half of the sandwich farthest from him, holds it for a brief minute, then puts it back on the plate. Only, the half farthest from him is already on the plate when he puts the one he's holding back. You need to look closely as this one was tough to catch. (00:33:20 - 00:33:45)

Switcharoo - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: Emma brings Neville a sandwich in the laundry room. Neville picks up the half closest to him and puts it back down. He then picks up the half farthest from him, holds it for a brief minute. When he puts it back on the plate, the half farthest from him is already there and he puts down the half closest to him. This was a tough one and I had to watch a few times. (00:33:20 - 00:33:45)

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.

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)

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.
