Revealing mistake: During the chase on the moon, there is a shot from in front of Starbug crashing into an asteroid. About twenty seconds after this, the exact same shot of Starbug crashing into an asteroid is been repeated a second time, when the ship crashes. (00:23:20)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: When the Polymorph, posing at the snake, jumps on Lister, it is apparent that the snake on Lister has been replaced by a plastic inflatable replica that has no features and does not move. (00:10:05)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: After landing on Earth, Rimmer and Kryten are standing on land. When Kryten asks "What is this place?", a car can be seen driving forwards in the far background, even though everything in this version of Earth is supposed to work backwards. (00:06:15)
28th Jun 2018
Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: When Lister and Cat are in Starbug searching for Rimmer and Kryten, the background of space shown out the window remains entirely still and doesn't move. (00:11:15)
28th Jun 2018
Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: The scene where the pub manager comes backstage to yell at Rimmer and Kryten was filmed, and then reversed to appear as if he was yelling backwards. Rimmer blinks when he is being yelled at, and due to the scene being played in reverse, his facial movements appear reversed, even though he is supposed to be moving forwards. (00:22:00)
28th Jun 2018
Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: Lister and Cat get a ride to Nodnol after a man they bump into offers to take them in his van. The logo on the van appears completely normal, and has not been reversed, even though everything in this version of Earth is supposed to be reversed. (00:16:15)
28th Jun 2018
Red Dwarf (1988)
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.

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
Red Dwarf (1988)
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)

Red Dwarf (1988)
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)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Tintin and Snowy arrive in Chicago on the train, whilst Tintin says "Here we are Snowy. Chicago", his fingers pass through the window frame of the train. (00:02:20)
26th Oct 2017
The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Tintin is getting into the taxicab after leaving the train station, the cars driving on the road in the background are the exact same purple car design duplicated over and over. (00:02:30)
26th Oct 2017
The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: When the driver covers the windows in the taxicab, in the shot where he says "Too bad you won't get to appreciate the view", the cover shown between the back seat and the front seat has visibly not been fully drawn in yet, and an unfilled gap can be seen in the cover. (00:03:05)
25th Oct 2017
The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Tintin is writing his news report on the mafia, the writing does not appear when typed, but instead appears one row at a time. Also, when he removes the paper from the typewriter, several rows of writing have suddenly appeared. (00:20:50)

Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10
Revealing mistake: When Calculus is showing Tintin and Haddock around the rocket, they are in the deck below. Tintin and Calculus have already climbed down the ladder and Haddock is still climbing. Whilst Haddock is climbing down, the button on the back of his space suit vanishes for one frame. (00:31:50)

Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: When the countdown to engage the nuclear reactor on the model rocket has reached zero, Tintin pushes the second lever. It is apparent that Tintin is not actually holding onto a lever, but merely the animation is just drawn in a way to make it appear that he is. The green ball shown on top of the lever is not in the shape of a ball, but is really just the colour green that has been filled in through the gap between Tintin's thumb and finger. The lever doesn't even resemble a ball shape as it should. (00:16:40)

Prisoners of the Sun: Part 1 - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Tintin is swimming back to the boat after escaping the ship, Haddock is quickly rowing back and forth to reach him in time. As Haddock rows, the bars used to place the oars through can be seen moving back and forth, along with the movements of the oars, even though the bars are supposed to remain still during the oar movements. There are also frames from this shot where the bars vanish from the frame entirely as Haddock rows. (00:07:25)

The Castafiore Emerald: Part 1 - S3-E7
Revealing mistake: When Castafiore is showing everyone the Castafiore emerald, after she says "He named it in my honour", the shot cuts to a close-up of her hand, saying "The Castafiore Emerald." At the start of the shot, she has two rings on two fingers, then she turns her hand and the two rings vanish from her fingers entirely. (00:09:00)
10th Oct 2017
The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
The Castafiore Emerald: Part 2 - S3-E8
Revealing mistake: When they are watching the news broadcast on Calculus' high definition television set, after the news broadcaster mentions Castafiore's stolen jewel, Castafiore says "He's talking about me." The mole on her cheek appears and vanishes from her face whilst she is saying the line, revealing a slip-up in the animation. (00:35:00)

Explorers on the Moon: Part 2 - S3-E12
Revealing mistake: On Earth, in the shot of the rocket making its landing, the booster ignition can be seen passing over the edge of the booster, and over part of the rocket. (00:41:10)
