Red Dwarf

Back in the Red (3) - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When the crew are plasticine in the screensaver, the Cat slides into the igloo. From one shot he is sliding towards the igloo from an angle, but in the next shot he is heading straight for the igloo. (00:14:55)

Cassandra - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: After Rimmer and the others sing to try and get out of their canaries duties, Hollister is looking up at the ceiling to his left. In the next shot he is looking to his right and his wouth is wide open. (00:07:40)

Suggested correction: Rimmer told them, just not on screen.

Cassandra - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: When Lister tells Cassandra he is not going to kill her, he sticks his chewing gum on the wall and begins walking out. Seconds later, when the fan causes the gum to fly across the room, Lister is now standing inside the room. (00:27:15)

Casual Person

Cassandra - S8-E4

Other mistake: Cassandra says that all the canaries will be dead in 1 hour, with the exception of Rimmer, Kryten, Lister, Cat and Kochanski. However, Kill Crazy was still knocked out in the transport vehicle and presumably would have survived too.

Suggested correction: But Cassandra was known to lie if it suited her purpose, she said that Lister would harpoon Arnold through the head and kill him but that's not what really happened either.

Yes, Cassandra lied about Lister shooting Arnold through the head with a harpoon, but that was an attempt to stop Lister from killing her. Mentioning which of the canaries will survive had no impact on any of her plans, so not mentioning Kill Crazy survived is still incorrect on her behalf.

Kill Crazy was safe in the transport vehicle, so wouldn't be affected by the station flooding. Mentioning him would have been irrelevant.

Krytie TV - S8-E5

Plot hole: Lister is not allowed any dangerous objects that he might try to commit suicide with, yet when he is with the canaries on their missions, he carries an assault rifle. The canaries aren't always supervised and it would be impossible for a guard to stop any of them putting a gun to their head and pulling the trigger. (00:05:05)

Suggested correction: We only hear from Rimmer that that's a rule. Rimmer is usually wrong about most things.

Krytie TV - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene on the Canaries' transport, where they first try to convince Kryten to record the women showering, Kochanski speaks the first line in the scene, but when the shot changes to the wide shot, she isn't there anymore. (Confirmed on the DVD commentary). (00:05:55 - 00:07:20)

Krytie TV - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: After Kochanski finds out about shower night and chases Kryten out of the room, she doesn't actually walk out the door, yet in the next shot she walks back into the room from outside. (00:16:25)

White Hole - S4-E4

Rimmer: The thing about Captain Oates... The thing you have to remember about Captain Oates... Captain Oates... Captain Oates was a prat.

Answer: Presumably he does, but it's never been used in any material related to the show. He is the only Cat left (as shown in Series 1), so even if he had once had a name, nobody would know it.

Moose

Answer: In the book, the Cat finds the concept of a name confusing, as he's convinced he's the center of the universe and the idea that someone wouldn't know who he was is baffling.
