Revealing mistake: During filming of the this episode, Craig Charles was called away for the birth of his son, Jack, so production manager Mike Agnew stepped in.

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)
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)
