Red Dwarf

Season 7 generally

Easter egg: On disc 3 on the main menu screen, if you highlight and press the red 'JMC AMMO' button, this will show you picking up a bazookoid. Before firing the bazookoid, push one of the arrow keys. This will cause a light closer to the right side of the screen to light up. If you press enter, it will blast the code panel on the door. You are then taken to see a very funny Red Dwarf Trailer.

Timeslides - S3-E5

Factual error: The writer's understanding of the history of Nazism and its leaders is a bit shonky. Claus von Stauffenberg did not plant a bomb in Hitler's briefcase - he put it in his own briefcase which he planted in a meeting room next to Hitler (some berk moved it). This was in July 1944, while the last Nuremberg rally - which Lister visits, bringing back the briefcase - was in 1938. Stauffenberg didn't even join the anti-Hitler conspiracy until 1943. Red Dwarf is not an 'alternate history' - they correctly identify elements of the Stauffenberg plot and the Nazi regime, they just get them wrong.
