Revealing mistake: Holly's night cap is in front of the edges of his monitor. It should fade into the white border of his screen. (00:05:25)
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer is talking about Yvonne McGruder, Lister is not wearing a hat. When we see the black box recording of the conversation, Lister is now wearing one. (00:08:25 - 00:16:45)
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)
Continuity mistake: In 'Thanks For The Memory', both Lister and The Cat injure their left feet when they drop the gravestone; but The Cat is seen to be wearing a plaster cast on his RIGHT foot. (00:12:10 - 00:27:00)
Continuity mistake: When Lister and the Cat are on the moon, their casts keep appearing then disappearing. (00:15:15)
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. Although Lister is wearing a space suit at the time you can still tell which part is Mike thanks to a continuity error - Mike forgot to put on Lister's plaster cast. (00:15:15)
Revealing mistake: When Lister uploads his memories, the wide shot shows various videos of Rimmer in the background, but in the close up it shows a plain white screen. (00:17:55)
Continuity mistake: Just before Lister says 'I'm going to give him Lisa Yates' he is looking forwards. When the camera angle changes he is looking at the Cat. (00:18:15)
Continuity mistake: When Lister and the Cat first see Lisa Yates on the screen, their shoulders are together. In the next shot there is a wide gap between them. (00:18:30)
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer is talking about Lisa Yates to Lister, his tie is undone. When it cuts to the black box camera, his tie is correctly tied. (00:22:10)
Revealing mistake: The square bluescreen outline can be seen in the wide shot of the obervation dome scene. (00:24:50)
Revealing mistake: When Rimmer and Lister are in the observation dome, background stars can be seen on Lister's locks and on the top of his forehead. (00:25:40)
Revealing mistake: When Lister and the Cat drop the gravestone and break their feet, you can see that it does not land anywhere near Lister's left foot. (00:26:55)
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer is about to tell Lister how many times he made love, Lister tells him that he'll "wake up in the morning with a hangover." But Rimmer and Lister already have fallen asleep and woken up, and they have the hangovers right now.
