Legion - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer suggests bringing Legion with him, Lister says he's not going to come with them, and asks if he would ever join in on their late night sessions of pin the pointy stick on the weather girl. At The End of the line, Lister is looking to the right, but in the next shot, he is suddenly looking downwards. (00:12:35)

Casual Person

Legion - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Legion brings the feast, Kryten is stood by the door. Rimmer says about how he appreciates art, then in the next shot of the Cat, Kryten walks behind him. Kryten would have had to walk past Rimmer in the previous shot to get there yet we did not see him while Rimmer was talking. (00:13:15)

Continuity mistake: When Kryten drinks the telekinetic wine, the level of liquid in the glass changes between shots. Also, after Kryten finishes drinking the level of wine is exactly the same as when he started. (00:16:00)

Legion - S6-E2

Revealing mistake: During the scene in the space station's dining room, when Craig Charles is making a speech explaining that they should escape, he stands up and pours himself a glass of Bucks Fizz. Craig fills the glass too soon (half way through the speach) and must realise, as he pours the drink back into the pitcher, and then begins filling his glass again. (00:20:20)

Legion - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Lister finishes pouring a glass of Bucks Fizz, he begins to place the jug back on the table with his hand still on it, but in the next shot, the jug is now on the table with Lister's hand nowhere near it. (00:20:20)

Legion - S6-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When the Red Dwarf crew are talking about who Legion is (after Lister has poured his bucksfizz), Kryten then says, "Could our very presence here have inadvertently awoken him?" As he says this, at the left side of the screen The End of a camera lens pulls away. (00:20:30)

Legion - S6-E2

Revealing mistake: When Lister hits Legion over the head, his mask falls off. In the shot that shows Rimmer, Cat and Kryten in the foreground sitting at the table and Lister and Legion in the background, Legion's face can be seen and it is apparent that it is not the combination of the four that is his face, but in fact the actor's real face. (00:21:15)

Casual Person

Legion - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Legion puts his mask back on, just as he says "Kryten knows", the mask is not properly fixed on, leaving his chin exposed, but when the camera is on him next, the mask is suddenly fixed into place. (00:21:35)

Casual Person

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.
