Red Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: When the nanobots rebuild Lister's arm, throughout the scene his shoulders are covered by his t-shirt. When he looks down for the first time, you can see his shoulders are bare. (00:27:25)

Back in the Red (1) - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lister is lying on the top bunk talking to Rimmer about the 83 year old dad, he says "he'd probably pretend to be dead" as he puts is left hand on the side of his face. The camera cuts to Rimmer then back to Lister again, as he puts his left hand on the side of his face again. (00:01:55)

Back in the Red (2) - S8-E2

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer shows Lister the luck virus and sexual magnetism virus, there is less than half of the liquid shown in the test tube for the sexual magnetism, but when Rimmer is about to go to Hollister's dinner later on, there is more liquid in the test tube. There was also only one test tube of sexual magnetism for Rimmer to use. (00:12:15 - 00:18:10)

Suggested correction: According to the Red Dwarf Fandom page, "The Sexual Magnetism virus makes the infected irresistible. The only known anti-virus is the Luck Virus, which was discovered by accident by Dave Lister." Granted, it doesn't seem to make sense, but apparently that's just the way it works.

Meltdown - S4-E6

Trivia: "Meltdown" was originally planned to be the first episode of Series IV of Red Dwarf. However, the militaristic tone of this episode - and in particular Dave Lister's strident anti-war speech near The End of the episode - meant it fell foul of the BBC censors. The original planned transmission date (Feb 14 1991) coincided with the outbreak of "Operation Desert Storm" - the Gulf War...and the BBC felt that an "anti-war" episode of Red Dwarf would be inappropriate for a country at war with Iraq.

Chosen answer: In-universe, after leaving Red Dwarf after his first appearance, Kryten managed to crash Lister's space-bike into an asteroid. Lister found his remains and decided to rebuild him, however, due to the high level of damage and Lister's questionable repair skills, he was unable to recreate Kryten exactly, leading to changes in appearance, personality and accent. In reality, the original actor wasn't available, coupled with presumably practical concerns about one-off makeup as opposed to makeup for a regular cast member, so some visual changes were made.
