Continuity: We are told that it is impossible to move outside the frame of a slide, yet when we are shown the slide of young Lister and his band, all we see is the band on stage but the crew move freely about the pub.

Quotes
[Rimmer convinces Holly to show him the captains files on the crew.]
Rimmer: Give me...give me Lister's. Just the remarks.
Holly: David Lister, Technician, 3rd class. Captain's remarks: "Has requested sick leave due to diarrhea on no less than 500 occasions. Left his previous job as a supermarket trolley attendant after ten years because he didn't want to get tied down to a career. Promotion prospects: zero."
Rimmer: I always liked Captain Hollister. Such a great reader of men, was Captain Hollister. A marvellous, marvellous man and a tragic loss to us all. All right, Holly, give me...give me mine.
Holly: Arnold Rimmer, Technician, 2nd Class. Captain's remarks: "There's a saying amongst the officers: If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. If it's not worth doing, give it to Rimmer. He aches for responsibility but constantly fails the engineering exam."
Rimmer: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Holly, Holly. I want *my* report. Rimmer. Two M's, E, R.
Holly: "Astoundingly zealous. Possibly mad. Probably has more teeth than brain cells. Promotion prospects: comical."
Rimmer: No no no no no, Holly. I want *Rimmer*. That's two R's, one at the front, one at the back.
Trivia
In "Back to Earth part two" most of what Kryten reads off the DVD cover is all written on the actual "Back to Earth" DVD. But he also reads something about them visiting a sci-fi shop, which isn't written on the cover. See more...

Timeslides (season 3, episode 5)
Continuity: Kryten needs to ask what a pub is, yet in the episode "Backwards" he and Rimmer worked in one for three weeks as the comedy act "The Sensational Reverse Brothers", and, later, were involved in a brawl in the same pub. Originally, the episodes were to be shown in a different order, which explains why the mistake occurs, but doesn't excuse it.
Continuity: In the pub, Lister gets a pint incredibly quickly after they arrive and has managed to drink half of it in a single camera cut.
Continuity: A blue fan appears on the golf course in the middle of the scene from nowhere.
Continuity: When Kryten first sees the photos, in one camera shot they are moving on the string. In the next shot they are perfectly still.
Continuity: When the slideshow starts, the photos in Lister's hands disappear between camera cuts.
Factual error: The Eagle on Hitler's briefcase is that of the (post war) Federal Republic of (West) Germany - not that of the Nazi German Third Reich.
Factual error: The assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944 was in Rastenburg, not Nuremberg as stated in this episode.
Revealing: When Lister is hit in the face with the snowball, some of the snow lands on Rimmer's hologramatic uniform.
Continuity: When Rimmer visits rich Lister, he apears from a point right next to him. But when he leaves, the point at which he disappears is much furthur back.
Revealing: When Rimmer dies at the end of the episode, a dummy is visible just before the explosion.
Continuity: When we see the photo of the skiers, there are no boxes in front of the screen. When the shot changes, two boxes have appeared which Rimmer and Lister use as steps.
Continuity: During the golf game, Lister's locks move between shots throughout the scene.
Audio problem: In the photo of 'Smeg and the Heads' you can see that the drummer frantically plays the cymbals, but no sound comes from them.
Continuity: When we see the skiers, no one is standing in front of the screen. In the next shot, Lister has appeared from nowhere.
