Red Dwarf (1988) - 18 mistakes in "Better Than Life"

Visible crew/equipment: When Lister downs his pint of wine, the shadow of a boom mic can be seen on the top left of the screen.

Continuity: When Rimmer is standing on the beach and conjures up the green car you can see the wheels are partly in the sand. When he then gets into the car, tyre tracks are visible behind it. When he starts driving off, the tyre marks are now gone.

Visible crew/equipment: When Rimmer and his seven kids get out of the car, three crew members and a white production truck are visible in the reflection.

Continuity: When the Cat and Lister are playing golf, they stop next to a bed with Marilyn Monroe sitting on it. When the camera angle changes, they begin walking from the other side of the bed. Also Marilyn Monroe is now kneeling.

Continuity: When the bike appears on the beach, the front tyre is above the level of sand. In the next shot it has sunk by about an inch.

Continuity: When Lister puts his Better Than Life helmet on, the cable is hanging over his right shoulder. In the next shot it is hanging down over his left shoulder.

Continuity: When the Cat is kissing the photo of the mermaid, in the next shot the photo has disappeared.

Continuity: The sand that lands on Rimmer's shoulder when Lister and the Cat drive away on the bike disappears in the next shot.

Continuity: As the crew enter the game, Lister pushes the door to the beach open. However in the next shot, the door is opening from the other side, i.e. Lister is pulling the door.

Visible crew/equipment: When the Cat licks Better Than Life's host, there is a shadow of a boom mic at the top of the screen on the wall.

Revealing: In the observation dome, the borders of the blue screen used to project the image of space behind Lister and Rimmer can be seen around the dome.

Revealing: In the observation dome, background stars are visible on Lister's hair and neck.

Continuity: When Lister and the Cat put their sunglasses on, Rimmer's tie changes between camera cuts from over his shoulder to neat and straight.

Visible crew/equipment: When Rimmer is getting in the car on the beach, you can see the cameraman's reflection on the side of it.

Revealing: When Lister and Rimmer are talking in the dome, the machine behind Rimmer keeps wobbling.

Other: The tax letter and Rimmer's mother's letter are both already opened before Lister takes the letters out. As there is no one else aboard Red Dwarf, the letters would not have been checked by anyone so they should still be sealed. Also, not all of the letters are already open, just the two that Rimmer receives.

Continuity: When Marilyn Monroe waves to the Cat on the beach, in the next shot her arms are by her side.

Revealing: When Holly is talking about his chess game, you can see his black clothing to the left of his chest, revealing he's hiding a body, and isn't just a computer generated floating head.
