Red Dwarf

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kryten is looking for Archie under the bed, he bends down quite low to search. In the next shot he is on his knees but his head is much higher than before. (00:16:55)

Meltdown - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: When the Dalai Lama explodes, there is a single shot where he has disappeared and a yellow cloth has taken his place just before the explosion. The cloth then lands in the background. (00:22:55)

Dwarf

Lemons - S10-E3

Character mistake: Surely, a know-all like Kryten would know that although lemons are not native to the Middle East, Babylonian traders imported lemons into what was then Judea some five hundred years before Christ was born, and by 4BC, they were quite common in the area, albeit as a pricey imported delicacy. The Dwarfers wasted half of their epic overland trek.

Camille - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: After Kryten tells Camille she must think he is as stupid as a photocopier, a shadow is covering her whole face. In the next shot light is shining on her eye. (00:09:25)

Dwarf

Holoship - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer loses his intelligence, he wipes his eyes with his right hand. In the next shot he has both hands on the keyboard and is looking over his left shoulder. (00:20:05)

Dwarf

Blue - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When the Cat picks up the golf clubs, his hair is sitting on his left shoulder. In the next shot it is behind his back. (00:10:40)

Suggested correction: His hair moved to his left shoulder when he turned his head and picked up the clubs, but you can see his hair go back behind him when he straightens his head.

Demons & Angels - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: After the Cat incapacitates Lister, the Cat complains about his collar being untidy, then steps aside. The next shot shows Lister stood on his own and the Cat is not visible at all. There was no time for the Cat to walk that fast between shots. (00:23:20)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Lister: What, they fixed your core program and then decided they'd be better off without you?
Holly: Yeah, it was shortly after they met me.

Kryten - S2-E1

Question: When Holly is saying about how he has changed music he says that because of the 2 new notes he's made instruments would be bigger. "Triangles will have four sides. Piano keyboards the length of zebra crossings. Course, women will have to be banned from playing the cello." I don't understand the joke about the cello part. Could someone please tell me what he means?

Answer: The cello is a large four-stringed instrument, which, when it is played, stands vertically on the floor between the player's legs (assuming they are seated). If it is to grow as large as the other instuments mentioned will, it would require a rather unseemly lack of femininity to be able to encompass it with the legs.
