Red Dwarf

Me2 - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer enters the cinema, Lister looks round at him and holds his hand up to his mouth. In the next shot, his hand is lowered and the straw is in his mouth. (00:22:20)

Dwarf

The End - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the very first episode, Lister runs his arm through Rimmer and he remains unchanged. Whenever anything passes throuh him in the rest of the series, he fades. (00:23:15)

Red Dwarf mistake picture

The End - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Cat is eating the food set out by Lister, there is a cloth on the table. When Lister is asking where the other kitties are, the cloth is shown near the centre of the table. Rimmer then says he wants it off the ship, and the cloth is suddenly further to the right of the table. (00:27:45)

Casual Person

M-Corp - S12-E5

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.

Answer: Presumably he does, but it's never been used in any material related to the show. He is the only Cat left (as shown in Series 1), so even if he had once had a name, nobody would know it.

Moose

Answer: In the book, the Cat finds the concept of a name confusing, as he's convinced he's the center of the universe and the idea that someone wouldn't know who he was is baffling.
