Stasis Leak - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When Lister walks through the Stasis Leak for the first time, his hands are up by his face and his locks are in front of his shoulders. In the next shot from the mirror, his arms are lowered and his locks are only over his right shoulder. (00:09:30)
Continuity mistake: When Kochanski puts the cat in the disintegrator, it changes the way it's facing between shots and again when she takes it out. (00:11:19)

Confidence and Paranoia - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: When Rimmer gets into bed, near the start of the episode, you can see that he brushes past Lister's blanket hanging down and slightly moves it. He should not have been able to do this as he is a hologram, it should have passed through him. Rimmer's pillows and bedding move as well. (00:06:50)

Continuity mistake: When Lister gets killed, his locks are behind his back. In the shot before, they are over his left shoulder. (00:26:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When Lister does the log at The Beginning of the episode, a boom mic shadow can be seen on his face throughout the scene. (00:00:40)
Answer: It's Queen Victoria, someone any Englishman would recognize, and needed no introduction.
Kryten was introducing the "people" to Rimmer. Rimmer isn't an Englishman; he's not even from Earth; he's from Io.
