Queeg - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: At The End of the chess game, the layout of the pieces shows the first three moves of the game. As the game obviously had more moves than this, the chess board graphic was wrong. (00:25:40)

Krytie TV - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene on the Canaries' transport, where they first try to convince Kryten to record the women showering, Kochanski speaks the first line in the scene, but when the shot changes to the wide shot, she isn't there anymore. (Confirmed on the DVD commentary). (00:05:55 - 00:07:20)

Bodyswap - S3-E4

Other mistake: The milkshake and toffee crisp come out of a different vending machine to where they were ordered. (00:01:50 - 00:06:55)

Suggested correction: But they are dispensed at the most convenient location for the person who ordered it. Great customer service, which can't be classed as a mistake.

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)

Ouroboros - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: When Lister looks at the photo of the gelf, the shots from behind show one of his locks over his right shoulder. However, the view from in front of Lister shows the lock is gone. (00:14:40)

Timeslides - S3-E5

Audio problem: In the photo of 'Smeg and the Heads' you can see that the drummer frantically plays the cymbals, but no sound comes from them. (00:11:40)

Dwarf

Better Than Life - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: When Holly is talking about his chess game, you can see his black clothing to the left of his chest, revealing he's hiding a body, and isn't just a computer generated floating head. (00:06:30)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

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.

Meltdown - S4-E6

Trivia: "Meltdown" was originally planned to be the first episode of Series IV of Red Dwarf. However, the militaristic tone of this episode - and in particular Dave Lister's strident anti-war speech near The End of the episode - meant it fell foul of the BBC censors. The original planned transmission date (Feb 14 1991) coincided with the outbreak of "Operation Desert Storm" - the Gulf War...and the BBC felt that an "anti-war" episode of Red Dwarf would be inappropriate for a country at war with Iraq.

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.
