Out Of Time - S6-E6
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer picks up the bazookoid at The End of the episode and runs into the engine room, the gun is pointing up. In the next shot from inside the engine room, it is pointing down. (00:27:10)
Continuity mistake: During the Higher Cat and Rimmer's dance when Kryten says 'and agony in torment' his arms are by his sides. In the next shot, his right arm is raised. (00:11:40)
Revealing mistake: When the simulant pulls the knife out of his chest, you can see the knife is a dummy. As the handle is pulled back, the blade does not move at all. (00:25:30)

Confidence and Paranoia - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: Rimmer asks Confidence and Lister "Where's Paranoia?", when Confidence replies "I dont know. Is it some place near Uruguay?" Lister is mouthing his lines. (00:24:50)
Continuity mistake: After Rimmer and Nirvanah have sex, as they're getting out of bed, Nirvanah ties her robe twice. In the next shot as she's standing, the robe is open again. (00:14:00)
Revealing mistake: In several episodes, but mostly in series 6, we see lots of profile camera shots of just Lister and The Cat at the front of the cockpit in Starbug. Quite a few times you will see Lister mouth The Cat's lines so he knows when to start speaking and what to say.
Answer: It's Queen Victoria, someone any Englishman would recognize, and needed no introduction.
Kryten was introducing the "people" to Rimmer. Rimmer isn't an Englishman; he's not even from Earth; he's from Io.
