Continuity mistake: When Kryten is piloting Starbug and gently "eases forwards", there is a shot shown from behind Starbug where it is driving out of the cargo bay to the exit, and it is shown a couple feet off the ground. When Starbug exits Red Dwarf in the next shot, Starbug is suddenly much higher above the ground. (00:04:20)
28th Jun 2018
Revealing mistake: After Starbug has left Red Dwarf, the scene cuts to inside the ship where Rimmer tells Kryten to autopilot, and the background of space is entirely still, even though the ship is moving. (00:04:45)
Suggested correction: Stars are so far away that they do not appear to move when travelling in space, unless you reach incredibly high speeds or change direction.
28th Jun 2018
Other mistake: When Rimmer is testing Kryten on a book of space traffic signs, Kryten stops on one page and is tested, which he says the sign is a binary star. Without turning the page, Rimmer points to a second sign on the same page asking what it is, which he points out is a blue giant about to supernova. After pointing to the time hole, Rimmer turns back to the book, saying "Right. What's this?" whilst still on the same page, pointing to a another sign. The page that is being used has one sign shown on the right hand side page, and the left hand side page is completely blank, equalling one sign on both sides of the page, but two or three signs are made mention to when on the page. (00:05:20)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer stresses out while preparing for his exam, he puts his hands on his face, and screams whilst starting to bend over. In the next shot, Lister wakes up, and Rimmer is suddenly standing upright. (00:13:20)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When the Cat is eating the food set out by Lister, there is a cloth on the table. When Lister is asking where the other kitties are, the cloth is shown near the centre of the table. Rimmer then says he wants it off the ship, and the cloth is suddenly further to the right of the table. (00:27:45)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Lister is revising for the exam, he opens a can of beer which sprays foam onto the table, and onto his cigarettes, when he opens it. A few seconds later, the sprayed foam disappears from the table. (00:19:30)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer is talking to Lister before the exam and says they are friends, Lister replies "When?" Lister has a can of beer on the bunk, with the label facing the camera. Two shots after, the label is suddenly facing away from the camera. A couple of shots after that, the label is suddenly facing the camera again. (00:23:15)

Confidence and Paranoia - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Confidence is telling Lister that his song was the greatest love song ever, Lister has his right hand on his lap, but in the next shot, his right hand is suddenly on the guitar strings. (00:19:35)
27th Jun 2018
Confidence and Paranoia - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: When Confidence is trying to get Lister to take his helmet off, Lister climbs over a railing and jumps around him. It is clear that the footage of Lister jumping around was slowed down to make his movement appear as if there is a lack of gravity. (00:26:35)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Holly interrupts Rimmer learning Esperanto saying "The menu looks interesting", he appears on the TV screen, with his chin blocked by the edge of the frame. The shot then cuts to a view of the screen, and his entire face is suddenly fully in the frame. (00:05:00)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Lister is questioning how they can remake Casablanca, he is holding the video tape, but in the next shot, the tape has disappeared from his hand and is touching the control panel. (00:04:40)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Lister is getting ready, he pulls his trousers off the table, causing the boot on the table to wobble. In the next shot, the boot is entirely still. (00:10:35)
27th Jun 2018
Revealing mistake: When the Outland Revenue guy breaks Rimmer's thumb with the mallet, the mallet does not touch his thumb, but instead his fingers. (00:28:35)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer falls asleep whilst Lister is doing the jigsaw, there is a whisky bottle on the table. Later in the episode, when being viewed on the black box, the whiskey bottle is no longer on the table. Lister could not have thrown it away since he left the table to the Hologram Simulation Suite at The End of the scene. (00:10:20 - 00:19:35)
27th Jun 2018
Continuity mistake: When Lister is doing the jigsaw and Rimmer starts singing in bed, the pint mug on the table has nothing in it. Later on, when Lister returns after giving Rimmer his memory, an inch of whisky has suddenly appeared in the bottom of the mug. (00:10:20 - 00:19:35)
27th Jun 2018
Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: In the lift, when the woman in the video is explaining how the lift works, she mentions "a bag will drop containing sedatives and cyanide capsules", pointing upwards. The shot cuts to Lister, and the woman in the video can be seen to the left of shot, with her arms at her side. (00:08:35)
27th Jun 2018
Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Revealing mistake: In the opening, Holly gives an additional message saying "On our journey, we have encountered many strange and bizarre things. Only last month, we can across a moon which was shaped exactly like Felicity Kendal's bottom. We flew around that one a couple of times." Before Holly says "We flew around that one a couple of times", he can be seen about to say the line, but visibly hesitates, presumably waiting for his cue. (00:01:35)

Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: In the hotel room, when future Lister is telling Lister he doesn't look pleased to see him, the two Listers are standing directly in front of each other, but from another angle, future Lister is standing around 90° rotated from before, and a few steps to the right of Lister. (00:25:35)
27th Jun 2018
Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When Lister is in the hotel room with future Lister and Kochanski, Lister says he came because he thought he was going to get married whilst talking to future Lister, but in the next shot, Lister's facial expression has suddenly changed and is now looking more confused. (00:25:35)
27th Jun 2018
Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When future Lister is making Lister and Cat leave the hotel room, Lister begins talking to future Lister about living his life. Future Lister is standing beside the door in one shot, but has his head suddenly resting on the door in the next shot. (00:26:25)
