Stoke Me A Clipper - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when the Nazi commander is speaking to Ace, in all wide shots his left arm is wrapped around the crocodile, but in all close up shots his arm is by his side. (00:00:45)

Dwarf

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kochanski and Kryten get told about the new canaries mission, Kryten is standing next to Kochanski. In the next shot, he is standing behind her. (00:17:30)

Dwarf

Duct Soup - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: When Kochanski is banging on the pipes at the start of the episode, she is using her right hand. There is then a close up shot of the pipe and you can see she is using her left hand. (00:01:50)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where Kochanski tells Kryten to let Lister be independent, Kryten's hands are below his circular stomach screen. In the next shot his hand is touching his chest plate. (00:06:35)

Dwarf

Skipper - S12-E6

Plot hole: Kryten explains that the quantum skipper must be recharged after every use, and the time this takes must be must be taken into account. This is an important plot device the first time Rimmer uses it, but it is conveniently forgotten for the rest of the episode.

More trivia for Red Dwarf

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.
