Character mistake: When Rimmer, Cat and Kryten go down to the cargo hold to search for the Polymorph, Kryten says "It's here" and "somewhere", but he delivers the line in an English accent and not in his robot voice. (00:13:15)
Red Dwarf (1988)
1 character mistake in Polymorph - chronological order
Other mistake: When Cat picks up the can of Leopard lager which is invisible to Lister, he shakes it, pops the cap and sprays Lister with foam. The foam is visible but the can remains invisible, and that makes no sense. If we are seeing the scene from Cat's point of view the can and foam should both be visible, and if it is from Lister's then neither should be.
Trivia: It was rumored that Alfred Molina and Alan Rickman wanted the part of Rimmer. Lee Cornes also auditioned for this role (he later guest starred on the show), as did Hugh Laurie. Robert Bathurst, Norman Lovett and David Baddiel auditioned for the role of Lister.
