Trivia

Rimmer refers to people who speak Esperanto as "Esperantinos", but they are actually called "Esperantists". Not really a mistake because he's often shown to be an idiot, but worth knowing. See more...

Balance of Power (season 1, episode 3)

Mistake Continuity: Lister's rolling pin disappears from the exam table when he drops the bowl.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Lister washes his face in his sleeping quarters, Rimmer is seen off set in the reflection in the fish tank walking past. You can see his uniform and can just make out the H on his forehead.

Mistake Continuity: When Lister first sees Kochanski his locks are on top of his left shoulder. In the next shot they are gone, then back again when he drops the bowl.

Mistake Revealing: When Lister leaves for his exam, he walks through Rimmer. As he does, both Rimmer and Lister become transparent when it should have just been Rimmer.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Lister is speaking to Kochanski and realises it is actually Rimmer, Kochanski says "it's Kochanski's body, it's Kochanski's voice" and a red boom mic is visible at the top of the screen.

Mistake Continuity: When Lister is changing near the start of the episode, there are no stickers on his locker. When he leaves the room, they appear.

Mistake Continuity: When Lister and Rimmer are talking in their bunks, Lister says 'I've always been crazy about her'. He is looking to his right with his arm in the air, yet in the next shot he is looking down at the floor.

Mistake Revealing: When the Cat is pushing the trolly of cigarettes, Rimmer walks past him and bangs his arm against it.

Mistake Revealing: The cigarette butts that Lister supposedly tips out of his lager can were obviously in between his hand and the can, and not in the can at all.

Mistake Continuity: The food dispenser in the drive room is now in the place that the door to the Captain's office was in the previous episodes.

Mistake Continuity: After Rimmer walks out of Lister's exam at the end of the episode, you can see he walks into the sleeping quarters, yet in the next shot he is walking down a corridor.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the flashback scene of Lister and his mates, just after Lister says about brains in jars, a yellow boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen.

Mistake Continuity: During Lister's exam, he takes the dough and puts it into the bowl while talking to Kochanski. When she turns into Rimmer, Lister is still rolling the dough and it is not in the bowl.

Mistake Other: Rimmer's badge of rank is missing from his short sleeved uniform. All other uniforms in the series have the badge.
