Revealing mistake: When Kryten is doing his driving test, as soon as we see Rimmer and Kryten in the cockpit you can see the wire attached to Chris Barrie behind him, next to the aerial on his hat, going vertically out the top of the frame. (00:03:40)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, it is clear that the capsule fully rotates and the "contents: 2" sign is not on the capsule. (00:01:05)
Other mistake: At the start of the episode, there is a spoof Star Wars-type caption, which spools up the screen very quickly. Too quickly to be read, in fact... which may explain why few people have noticed that the last line of the caption, "And now the Saga Continuums...", is written twice. (00:00:20)
Other mistake: When the meteor hits Starbug, there are no stars outside the front of the ship at all. (00:07:20)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: We are told that it is impossible to move outside the frame of a slide, yet when we are shown the slide of young Lister and his band, all we see is the band on stage but the crew move freely about the pub. (00:11:40)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When the slideshow starts, the photos in Lister's hands disappear between camera cuts. (00:06:20)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: A blue fan appears on the golf course in the middle of the scene from nowhere. (00:01:30)
Continuity mistake: In the forest, Lister and the Cat take a poster off a tree. They then show it to the man who gives them a lift. The poster is different to the one in the forest. (00:16:05)
Suggested correction: If you look at 00:13:47, you'll see that the closest tree has an odd poster. The other trees have the poster that they showed to the man that gives them a lift.
The Last Day - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Kryten packs his spare heads away, he places the first one in the case with his left hand. In the next shot it has moved to his right hand. (00:03:50)
Visible crew/equipment: If you look closely when the camera follows Lister (in the scene just before the meteor crashes onto Starbug) you can actually see the edge of the set and some studio lights. (00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: Kryten removes the polymorph underpants and throws them under the covers of Lister's bed. When he checks the bed and pulls out a snake the pants are now on top of the covers (even though he says they're gone) and the covers themselves are now arranged differently. (00:10:00)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Lister is hit in the face with the snowball, some of the snow lands on Rimmer's hologramatic uniform. (00:07:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When the bazookoid blasts hit the Polymorph near The End, you can see the stand that's holding the Polymorph at the bottom of the screen. (00:24:45)
