There is no hypen in Saint Marie. The publicity from the BBC and other sources have it and other times not; but at no time in an episode such as a sign post or the island newspaper feature a hyphen. REVUpminster ( talk) 15:41, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Ps http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0520tnl an example of the BBC not using it, it is all down to the whim of the copy editor writing. REVUpminster ( talk) 15:47, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
"Saint Marie" isn't correct French. It would be "Sainte Marie" in French. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.196.192.214 ( talk) 18:46, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Why do the uniforms of the Saint Marie Police still bear the French Tricolore if Marie Police is now British? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.172.233.137 ( talk) 01:28, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Series 6, episode 4 "Stumped in Murder" [1] showed the police landrover driving down a 2 lain road. It was on the British side of the road, thus revealing they drive on the same side as the UK.

I am wondering if ever any information was given concerning the origin of the names of the island and its capital? I see a connection to the fictional island St. Honoré from the novel A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie (whose second name was incidentally Mary --> Marie). But as Wikis are not there for speculation but for facts only, I wouldn't want to enter this as long as it is not confirmed somewhere. -- Vluger ( talk) 08:57, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
The claim is made that it's a British Overseas Territory. Where is the evidence for that? Is that ever mentioned in a script? They drive on the right-hand side of the road, in vehicles with French license plates. 174.196.194.129 ( talk) 21:33, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
"" A fan magazine with no evidence to support the claim? Definitely not encyclopedic. IF it were mentioned in the show, or by a writer or producer, maybe. But a fan magazine is not a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.196.192.214 ( talk) 18:48, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
