Timeslides - S3-E5
Factual error: The writer's understanding of the history of Nazism and its leaders is a bit shonky. Claus von Stauffenberg did not plant a bomb in Hitler's briefcase - he put it in his own briefcase which he planted in a meeting room next to Hitler (some berk moved it). This was in July 1944, while the last Nuremberg rally - which Lister visits, bringing back the briefcase - was in 1938. Stauffenberg didn't even join the anti-Hitler conspiracy until 1943. Red Dwarf is not an 'alternate history' - they correctly identify elements of the Stauffenberg plot and the Nazi regime, they just get them wrong.

Continuity mistake: We are told that it is impossible to move outside the frame of a slide, yet when we are shown the slide of young Lister and his band, all we see is the band on stage but the crew move freely about the pub. (00:11:40)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When the slideshow starts, the photos in Lister's hands disappear between camera cuts. (00:06:20)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Deliberate mistake: The Eagle on Hitler's briefcase is that of the (post war) Federal Republic of (West) Germany - not that of the Nazi German Third Reich. This was deliberate - showing the Third Reich Nazi emblem of an eagle holding a swastika would have had the episode banned in Germany, Austria, Poland and any number of other European countries.

Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: A blue fan appears on the golf course in the middle of the scene from nowhere. (00:01:30)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Kryten first sees the photos, in one camera shot they are moving on the string. In the next shot they are perfectly still. (00:03:40)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: In the pub, Lister gets a pint incredibly quickly after they arrive and has managed to drink half of it in a single camera cut. (00:11:50)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Factual error: The assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944 was in Rastenburg, not Nuremberg as stated in this episode. (00:08:50)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Lister is hit in the face with the snowball, some of the snow lands on Rimmer's hologramatic uniform. (00:07:40)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Kryten needs to ask what a pub is, yet in the episode "Backwards" he and Rimmer worked in one for three weeks as the comedy act "The Sensational Reverse Brothers", and, later, were involved in a brawl in the same pub. Originally, the episodes were to be shown in a different order, which explains why the mistake occurs, but doesn't excuse it. (00:12:55)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer visits rich Lister, he apears from a point right next to him. But when he leaves, the point at which he disappears is much furthur back.
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When we see the photo of the skiers, there are no boxes in front of the screen. When the shot changes, two boxes have appeared which Rimmer and Lister use as steps. (00:07:20)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Rimmer dies at The End of the episode, a dummy is visible just before the explosion. (00:26:40)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: During the golf game, Lister's locks move between shots throughout the scene. (00:01:20 - 00:02:20)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Audio problem: In the photo of 'Smeg and the Heads' you can see that the drummer frantically plays the cymbals, but no sound comes from them. (00:11:40)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Factual error: The newspaper detailing the bomb attack on Hitler lists the date as "Tuesday May 4 1938." May 4th, 1938 was a Wednesday. (00:09:15)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Plot hole: In S2 E2 Better Than Life, Rimmer mentions that his brother Frank was 6' 5" by the time he was 11 due to their father pulling him on a tractor, however in S3 E5 Timeslides, the picture of Frank Rimmer's wedding shows Frank to be of fairly average height, and not 6' 5".
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When we see the skiers, no one is standing in front of the screen. In the next shot, Lister has appeared from nowhere. (00:07:20)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Kryten notices the photo of the bike in the countryside is moving, the peg attached to it is near the middle, along the top, but in the shot from behind, the peg is much closer to the right. The same goes for the photo of Kryten's birthday party. (00:03:30)
Timeslides - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Lister and Gilbert are looking at the statue of Lister in the courtyard, Lister has his arms crossed in an angle from above, but when the shot cuts back, his arms are at his side, before crossing them again. (00:19:25)
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.
