Friends (1994)

Correction: Ross makes a grimace with his mouth before and during the line but is not mouthing lines.

Kaltenmeyer

20th Dec 2007

Friends (1994)

Correction: You can see she takes the sunglasses off as she's speaking.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Polymorph - S3-E3

Corrected entry: When Lister is preparing the meal, he puts all the ingredients into the microwave and closes the door. When he opens it again, a plate has magically appeared inside the microwave. (00:04:20)

Dwarf

Correction: Lister also dumps a lot of curry powder into the microwave, and when he reopens the door after baking, there is a full meal prepared. Clearly, this is not a mistake, but in fact part of the futuristic technology used to create the meal. The plate was likely generated along with the rest of the meal.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: This is because they are not in the hologram simulation suite at this point, they are in the control room. When the explosion occurs, and when Holly realises it was the yellow cable Lister was meant to use, they are in the hologram simulation suite. The scene then cuts to them in the control room afterwards, and Holly is standing in his current position because he has just entered through the door to the control room.

Casual Person

30th Jan 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: A number of posts suggest much the same thing, neglecting the fact that Holly is trying to keep Lister's fragile sanity intact. She arranges for Rimmer to appear to land on the table by projecting a holographic image of him doing just that, as Lister would become unhinged if he saw Rimmer magically passing through solid objects all the time. Besides, according to your logic shouldn't he sink through the floor?

Red Dwarf (1988)

Queeg - S2-E5

Corrected entry: When the meteor hits the ship, everyone is thrown about except for the skutter, who does not move at all. (00:04:10)

Dwarf

Correction: Skutters perform operations outside the ship as well. They probably have magnetized wheels or some sort of stabilizers to keep them from being knocked into space.

Captain Defenestrator

The Young Ones (1982)

Correction: Many buildings, especially a run-down old house like the one shared by the boys, have walls that wobble if struck with any significant amount of force.

18th Nov 2007

Bottom (1991)

Gas - S1-E2

Corrected entry: After Eddie puts the frying pan in the gas man's hand, Richie starts attacking him again. In the next shot Eddie hits Richie over the head with the frying pan that he had just put in the gas man's hand. (00:11:00)

Dwarf

Correction: I have more than one frying pan. So do Richie and Eddie. Unless the submitter can provide more information to prove that it is the same frying pan, this can't be considered a mistake.

27th May 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: If you look at the scene when the virus is eating their clothes and hair, they don't touch their faces or chests.

3rd Dec 2006

Red Dwarf (1988)

The End - S1-E1

Corrected entry: At the start of the episode when Toddhunter appears, Lister is holding his cigarette in his hand. When the camera cuts it has jumped to his ear. (00:04:20)

Dwarf

Correction: At the point in time where the cigarette apparently leaps to Listers ear he actually places it there. When Toddhunter arives on the scene, Lister screams "Yo Toddhunter" and thumps his foot. While this is going on you can see Lister place the cigarette in his ear.

14th Jan 2008

The Young Ones (1982)

Oil - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When Neil throws the golf ball back, you can see no ball is thrown. When Rik catches it and looks at his hands the ball should have dropped to the floor as he holds his hands open directly in front of him. (00:15:55)

Dwarf

Correction: That's because there was never any ball thrown. The ball's still in the toilet - Neil threw back 'something else', which Rik now has all over his hands.

Xofer

21st Dec 2007

Friends (1994)

Correction: The egg is in Ross's jacket pocket, not his hand. That is why Ross and Chandler awkwardly move off in kind of hug.

Stephen Cooney

14th Feb 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: As the snake is a polymorph there is no reason why it did not just change from a small snake to a large snake when it jumped at Lister.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: True, however, if you knew when, where, how, and who was going to kill you, wouldn't you at least TRY to do something to stop it?

Captain Defenestrator

26th May 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: Not really a mistake, I used to work in a shop and the badges varied in size.

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: It's a different dimension that just happens to be 3,000,000 years into the point of departure's future.

Phixius

31st Mar 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: Cats have phenomenal senses of smell and hearing. The Cat would have known Rimmer was there long before he saw him.

Phixius

27th Mar 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: Holly is a computer with all kinds of fictional technology. There are any number of explanations for this. Even something as mundane as Lister's handprint simply being on file since he was a crewmember.

Phixius

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: The motorcycle is a hologram, which is why Holly's face appears in the headlight.

Captain Defenestrator

21st Feb 2007

Red Dwarf (1988)

Correction: This is the cat. His heartbeat is literally a music beat. He spent over a day creating a special spacesuit when he thought he was going to meet women. Having perfect hair, no matter the situation, is entirely within character.
