The Inquisitor

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Rimmer is being questioned by the Inquisitor, a full boom mic and arm can be seen rising out of shot by the three candles on the right of the screen.

Demons & Angels

Mistake Continuity: After the Cat incapacitates Lister, the Cat complains about his collar being untidy, then steps aside. The next shot shows Lister stood on his own and the Cat is not visible at all. There was no time for the Cat to walk that fast between shots.

Back To Reality

Mistake Continuity: After the Cat starts to cry, he is looking at Kryten and Lister. In the next shot he is looking down.

Terrorform

Mistake Continuity: When Lister, the Cat and Kryten figure out how to escape, Kryten says 'precisely' and raises his right hand. In the next shot, both of his hands are raised.

Quarantine

Mistake Continuity: When Kryten injects the luck virus into Lister's neck, the gun disappears from Kryten's hand between shots.

Terrorform

Mistake Continuity: At the start of the episode Kryten has crashed Starbug 1 onto the psi-moon. Lister and the Cat rescue him in Starbug 2, yet when the crew search for Rimmer in the swamp, they are in Starbug 1.

Demons & Angels

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Just before Red Dwarf explodes, there is a shot of Lister. In the background you can see a moving shadow of a crew member on the floor.

Quarantine

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the Cat tries to attack Rimmer in quarantine, a boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen.

Terrorform

Mistake Continuity: After the crew fire at the Self-loathing Beast and the room fills with dust, the Cat's left hand is up in the air. In the next shot he is holding the bazooka with both hands.

Holoship

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Binks arrives on Starbug, a boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen.

Demons & Angels

Mistake Audio problem: When the high Lister plays the harp, his fingers are out of sync to what is being played.

Quarantine

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Lister wipes down the biohazard cabinet, a boom mic can be seen in the top right of the screen. Also, just before the camera moves past the pillar, the entire microphone and arm can be glimpsed.

The Inquisitor

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: A boom mic shadow appears on Lister's head just after he opens the door with the severed hand.

Mistake Revealing: Just after the Trojans' conversation, there are two jolts. Lister jumps back too soon on the second jolt.

Holoship

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Just after Rimmer becomes smart, Kryten and Lister walk into the room. You can see the shadow of the cameraman on the floor before it pulls away.

The Inquisitor

Mistake Continuity: When Starbug gets taken over and Kryten says it is not a malfunction, he has his hands in the air. The camera cuts to Rimmer, and Kryten's hands are by his side.

Mistake Continuity: When the Inquisitor jumps Kryten from behind, Kryten's arm changes positions between cuts.

Quarantine

Mistake Revealing: As pointed out by Danny John Jules on the DVD Commentary, during the 'Feckles, Heckles, Hackles, Schmeckles' argument, Cat pushes his face right against Kryten's, leaving a brown makeup smear on Kryten's forehead. The mark is gone in the next shot.

The Inquisitor

Mistake Continuity: When the second version of Allman appears, he has his arms folded. In the next shot, they're down by his side.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: At the start of the episode, when Lister and Kryten talk about Lister's comic, a boom mic shadow can be seen on Kryten's head.
