Corrected entry: In the previous episode, Baxter was changed into an ape using the time wand and wasn't changed back before it was destroyed; yet here he is back to normal.

Corrected entry: Kryten shows Lister a picture of Kochanski and says that he dated her for three weeks, but in the first series it is established that Lister always wanted to ask Kochanski out but never worked up the courage.
Correction: Answered elsewhere - just because he didn't ask her out didn't mean they never dated. Maybe she asked him?

Corrected entry: The sexual magnetism virus is red in this episode, yet it was a greeny blue colour in 'Quarantine'.
Correction: The green-blue liquid is the luck virus and the red is the sexual magnetism virus.

Corrected entry: Whilst Banks is doing his evaluation of the crew, he says that Lister's age is "Mid 20's", indicating that Lister hasn't aged at all since The Beginning of the series, 4 years ago.
Correction: Lister states in the episode "Future Echoes" in the first series that he is 23 years old. Thus, by simple addition, in "Holoship" he would be 27 - which could just about be said to be mid 20s.

Corrected entry: If Able was addicted to Otrazone, and he was running out, why would he offer some of his remaining supply to Kryten?
Correction: He knew nothing about Kryten at that stage, and might have thought he was a fellow addict with supplies of Otrazone available to him. Making friends with him with a (small) nip might have made sense to him at the time.

Corrected entry: When Rimmer and Lister walk back into the teaching room after seeing the Cat for the first time, Lister bumps into the table that he was eating the piles of human ash from, but all the ash has disappeared.
Correction: There may be more than one teaching room on the ship. This may be a similar room but not the one that Lister entered earlier in the episode.
Correction: There was a deleted scene where Lister sweeps up the dead crew's ashes and dumps them into space, but it seemed silly rather than dramatic and was cut.

Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Corrected entry: Rimmer says that if he brought the past Rimmer back, there would be two Rimmers in the future. However he already make 2 Rimmers in the previous series in the episode "Me²", and he hated the fact, so why would he suggest that idea again?
Correction: Actually, Rimmer wanted to bring his past self back in statis as if he did so, he would survive the radiation leak and would not be a hologram.

Corrected entry: Both Rimmer and Lister go through a door on the left hand side of the drive room which wasn't there in the previous episode, "The End".
Correction: I believe there was a door - it was the entrance to the Captain's office.

Corrected entry: All of Kryten's spare heads are supposed to have different personalities to the original Kryten head, but they all have the same one in this episode.
Correction: The personality depends upon the RAM chip that is in the head. Lister says that the RAM chip remains intact and therefore, they swap RAM chips when they change heads.

Corrected entry: Lister says The Cat has never met a real woman before, but he has. The episodes 'Parallel Universe' and 'Stasis Leak' had women in them.
Correction: He did not actually 'meet' those women properly. He only saw them.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: Lister does not seem to know much about his childhood, as he tells several contradicting stories about it. In series 2 Lister talks about how upset he was when his father died in the episode "Better Than Life". It is possible that he was talking about a foster father when he said this, but we learn in the episode "Ouroboros" in series 7 that he was abandoned, and never knew his parents at all. He also said in series 7 that he lived with his granny too, which leaves the question that if he knew his own granny, then why didn't he know who his parents were? Three different stories of his childhood.
Correction: We established that Lister was abandoned in Series 3 in 'The Last Day'. Therefore we can assume that everyone in his family that he talks about being alive are his foster family and their relatives.

Corrected entry: How were the Nanobots able to resurrect the crew exactly? We were told in series 7 that the Nanobots take one organism, rearrange its atoms and forms a new object with them, so what did the Nanobots use to make 1167 human beings?
Correction: From memory the nanobots take matter and turn it into other matter. Hence they can take the planetoid which was previously Red Dwarf, and turn it back into Red Dwarf plus crew, by simply missing out (unnecessary) bits from the ship.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Corrected entry: When Lister looks in on the new group of people playing the Red Dwarf game, the scene that they are in is much too far into the show, given that they have only been playing for about 20 minutes. Really Lister should have been watching the new crew's version of 'The End'.
Correction: This was probably to show how bad the crew was at playing the game. The new guys took 20 minutes to do what the others took years to do.
