Red Dwarf

Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: When the simulant walks past Lister, the Cat and Kochanski who are hiding under the blanket, he walks to the far right of the shot and a piece of material is hanging from him as he stops. The shot changes to show the simulant walking through the doorway, yet when the camera cuts back to Lister, the Cat and Kochanski, the piece of material is still in the corner of the screen meaning the simulant is still stood there. (00:11:20)

Epideme - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lister punches up the Leviathan's destination, it reads 'Theta 4'. However, in the next scene in Starbug's medibay, Lister says that the Leviathan was headed to Delta 7. (00:23:10 - 00:24:25)

Blue - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When the Cat picks up the golf clubs, his hair is sitting on his left shoulder. In the next shot it is behind his back. (00:10:40)

Suggested correction: His hair moved to his left shoulder when he turned his head and picked up the clubs, but you can see his hair go back behind him when he straightens his head.

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: When Kryten and Kochanski are trying to think of famous one-armed people, Lister's guitar is sitting flat against his chest in all close up shots but it is lying flat on his lap in wide shots. (00:03:05)

Duct Soup - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: When Kochanski is in bed at the start of the episode, she is wearing stud ear rings. When she gets up to go to the kitchen area, they are now hoops. (00:02:20 - 00:03:50)

Dwarf

Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: When Able takes his head off and throws it at the simulant, he throws it forwards towards where Lister is standing. The head manages instead, somehow, to hit the simulant standing next to the gelf on Able's left. (00:20:00)

Dwarf

Stoke Me A Clipper - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when the Nazi commander is speaking to Ace, in all wide shots his left arm is wrapped around the crocodile, but in all close up shots his arm is by his side. (00:00:45)

Dwarf

Back To Reality - S5-E6

Factual error: While it is true that lithium carbonate can be used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders, it cannot be administered in gaseous form. It is a very stable salt and only starts to form vapour at 1,310 degress Celcius. Spraying it about as a 'mood stabliser' at that temperature, as Kryten does, is going to kill everyone on the spot.

Kryten - S2-E1

Question: When Holly is saying about how he has changed music he says that because of the 2 new notes he's made instruments would be bigger. "Triangles will have four sides. Piano keyboards the length of zebra crossings. Course, women will have to be banned from playing the cello." I don't understand the joke about the cello part. Could someone please tell me what he means?

Answer: The cello is a large four-stringed instrument, which, when it is played, stands vertically on the floor between the player's legs (assuming they are seated). If it is to grow as large as the other instuments mentioned will, it would require a rather unseemly lack of femininity to be able to encompass it with the legs.
