Red Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Visible crew/equipment: When Lister sprays Bob with WD40, The thumb of the person operating Bob's head is seen for a brief second in the top right hand side of the screen. This is visible if you watch the DVD on your PC as this will not be visible on some TVs. (00:12:15)

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Bob helps Lister and Rimmer escape from the hole, there is no one sitting near the hole that drops out into the floor. In the next shot, Birdman's feet have appeared next to it. (00:24:10)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When the virus starts to eat the potatoes, Rimmer picks them up from the pile just below eye level. In the wide shot it shows the potatoes are just below waist level and Rimmer would have had to lean much further away from where he was standing to get the potatoes from that height. (00:20:00)

Suggested correction: Kryten is not mouthing the line "Hot bovril." He is just moving his mouth slightly up and down, which coincidentally happened to occur when Baxter was saying the line.

Casual Person

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Bird-man's boots drop to the floor, the crew are looking straight forwards. In the next shot they are all looking up. (00:26:45)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Kochanski, the Cat, and Kryten first discover the time wand, there are a group of Canaries who are frozen in time from its effects. In the first shot of these people, the woman on the far right of the screen blinks her eyes. (Confirmed on DVD commentary). (00:15:50)

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: As Norman Lovett points out in the commentary, when the Cat shoots in the basketball game, the ball wasn't going anywhere near the basket. The angle the ball lands in the net in the next shot is completely different as well. (00:06:10)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Visible crew/equipment: In the cargo hold, when Lister says 'He really loved that bird', just before Pete turns into a dinosaur, a crew member can be seen walking around in the background, despite the rest of the crew being frozen in time. (00:25:25)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer runs away from Pete, the rest of the crew start running in the opposite direction and should be a good few feet ahead of Rimmer. In the next shot it shows the crew running away together. (00:27:00)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ackerman sticks a screwdriver into Kryten's neck, the shot changes to the Cat and in the background you can see that Ackerman is not standing next to Kryten. In the next shot it shows Ackerman attacking Kryten again. (00:04:35)

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

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.
