Meltdown - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: When the battle ends, Kryten's chest monitor fits tightly into his chest plate. In the next scene the monitor has shrunk and there is a large gap between his chest and the screen. (00:23:40)

Dwarf

Blue - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When Lister gets Starbug out of the comet tail, he only has two locks over his left shoulder. In the next shot there are 4 over his shoulder. (00:07:30)

Dwarf

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

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.

Lister: What, they fixed your core program and then decided they'd be better off without you?
Holly: Yeah, it was shortly after they met me.

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.
