Other mistake: Throughout the show, reference is made to Rimmer's light-bee, a solid unit that buzzes around projecting his holographic image. Yet he constantly walks through things without any difficulty. Not physically possible if there is something solid in his form.

Suggested correction: Rimmer seems to have been projected externally in the first two series and switched to the internal light bee before the start of series 3 (maybe Kryten brought it over from the Nova 5). This would explain how he was able to pass through solid objects in the first two series and how his legs managed to go off on their own in "Queeg." Although from season 3 onwards, it shouldn't be possible.
