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)

Corrected entry: After the explosion in the hologram simulation suite, Holly's monitor suddenly appears at the other side of the room. (00:07:25)
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.

Corrected entry: When the ship is hit by a meteor, Rimmer is thrown onto the table. He should have fallen through it, as he is a hologram. (00:04:15)
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?

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)
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.

Corrected entry: When Lister and Rimmer go to the captain's office after the virus has eaten their clothes and hair, it is clear they still have eyebrows and chest hair. (00:21:00)
Correction: If you look at the scene when the virus is eating their clothes and hair, they don't touch their faces or chests.

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)
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.

Corrected entry: As Cassandra can see the future, she would have known that her revenge plan against Lister would fail. (00:23:35)
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?

Corrected entry: Rimmer is riding a motorcycle just before the battle. As he is a hologram this would be impossible.
Correction: The motorcycle is a hologram, which is why Holly's face appears in the headlight.

The Last Day - S3-E6
Corrected entry: The Cat wakes up the morning after the party with a hangover and not a hair on his head out of place. (00:18:45)
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.

Corrected entry: Rimmer says to keep page sixty one of "Lolita", but Lister pulls out the left-side page and pockets it. As odd-numbered pages in books are on the right side, meaning he must have kept page sixty. You can see the front cover quite is the right way up so the book would not have been upside down.

Corrected entry: After Lister uses the Holly Hop Drive, Holly says 'There's nothing out there, just space'. When they switch on the monitor, the duplicate Red Dwarf is orbiting a moon. (00:08:40)

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.
