Revealing mistake: When Lister leaves for his exam, he walks through Rimmer. As he does, both Rimmer and Lister become transparent when it should have just been Rimmer. (00:25:50)
8th Dec 2006
Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When the Cat's future echo says, "I think I lost my tooth," he is at The End of the corridoor. When the present Cat say it, he is just leaving the sleeping quarters. (00:16:30 - 00:22:25)

Confidence and Paranoia - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: In the captain's office, the words 'Medical bay' have been painted on the wall. This was near The End of the episode and can be seen over Rimmer's shoulder while they are talking in the drive room. The set was obviously doubled with the medical bay, as the captain's office is not used in this episode. (00:23:25)

Other mistake: In the picture of the cat wars between the Red Hats and the Blue Hats, the hats are orange instead of blue. (00:19:00)

Confidence and Paranoia - S1-E5
Visible crew/equipment: In the medi-bay, when Rimmer says, "How about an anal reading?" a yellow microphone appears above his head. (You can see this if you watch the dvd on your pc, as some tv's can cut off the edge of the picture). (00:11:00)
8th Dec 2006
Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Lister and the Cat are talking to the original Rimmer in the cinema, the new Rimmer enters and argues with the original. The original Rimmer makes hand puppets, while the new Rimmer sits at the front. When Lister does the ippy-dippy, the Rimmers have swapped places. The new Rimmer says that he was there first, without complaint from the original. (00:23:30)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Visible crew/equipment: When talkie Toaster says, 'I toast, therefore I am.', you can see the legs of a crew member moving in the reflection of the toaster. (00:04:40 - 00:11:50)
7th Dec 2006
Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: When Lister goes into Rimmer's new room, there is a slight glitch with the split screen. When Lister is laughing at Rimmer's newspaper headlines on the door, the camera changes and the first frame only has Lister and Rimmer with the scutters. In the next frame the second Rimmer appears and the scutter on the right has moved. (00:06:10)
