Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Revealing mistake: When the simulant hits Able over the head with the steel bar, you can clearly see it bend. He hits him a second time a few moments later and it is straight again. (00:14:45)

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

Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: After the Cat says about mooning out of the windows when Starbug gets hit, Kochanski falls back on her chair with her arms outstretched. In the next shot she is holding onto the monitor again. (00:25:00)

Dwarf

Epideme - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kryten is looking through Lister's room, Lister's locks move from in front of his left shoulder to behind his back in one cut, and switch back and forth throughout the scene. (00:08:35)

Dwarf

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)

Epideme - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kochanski shows Kryten she didn't really cut her own arm off, Kryten holds his arms out in shock. In the next shot, his left arm is by his side again. (00:27:05)

Dwarf

Epideme - S7-E7

Factual error: When Kryten revives Lister with the defibrillator paddles, he places them on the clothing he is wearing. Defibrillator paddles need to be applied to bare skin for the electricity to get through. (00:27:35)

Casual Person

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)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where Kochanski tells Kryten to let Lister be independent, Kryten's hands are below his circular stomach screen. In the next shot his hand is touching his chest plate. (00:06:35)

Dwarf

White Hole - S4-E4

Rimmer: The thing about Captain Oates... The thing you have to remember about Captain Oates... Captain Oates... Captain Oates was a prat.

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.
