Murder, She Wrote (1984)
2 character mistakes - chronological order
Revealing mistake: When the first scene at Emma's hideaway was shown, obviously the two characters Emma and Jessica were filmed seperately on the couch and then the film was put together (as both are played by Angela Lansbury). However Jessica did a lot of moving while she was talking, so Emma was looking straight across at where she had been, despite her bending down while she talked.
Trivia: This is the only episode in the entire series where the victim is attacked but is later revealed to be still alive.
Question: Why do some of the episodes have someone else investigating and solving a murder instead of Jessica?
Answer: Because during Season 6, Lansbury wanted a lighter workload and to do other projects. So they had her just introduce and sum up the episode.
