Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where Rimmer and Lister get beaten up in the captain's office, as they walk down the corridor, Lister's locks are behind his back. As they turn the corner in the next shot his locks are in front of his right shoulder. (00:20:40)

Dwarf

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kill Crazy and Baxter are about to beat up Rimmer and Lister, as Baxter says "Say goodbye to your teeth", Kill Crazy has his hand pressed against Rimmer's jaw, advancing his face towards Rimmer's, but when Baxter goes to punch Lister, Kill Crazy's hand is by his side and is stood away from Rimmer. (00:19:50)

Casual Person

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Baxter tries to punch Lister the first time and fails, Kill Crazy is looking at Lister with his arms by his side, but in the next shot, Kill Crazy is now looking at Rimmer and doing motioning actions with his arms and face. (00:19:55)

Casual Person

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lister keeps using the time wand on Captain Hollister several times, he keeps saying "See you in 10 minutes" several times. Every time Hollister says the line, the way he delivers the line keeps changing. (00:12:55)

Casual Person

M-Corp - S12-E5

Other mistake: When Cat picks up the can of Leopard lager which is invisible to Lister, he shakes it, pops the cap and sprays Lister with foam. The foam is visible but the can remains invisible, and that makes no sense. If we are seeing the scene from Cat's point of view the can and foam should both be visible, and if it is from Lister's then neither should be.
