Red Dwarf (1988) - 15 mistakes in "Timeslides"

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.

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.
