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
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 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)
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
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.
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
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".
The Last Day - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Kryten throws away the breakfast, Lister's locks move from behind his shoulder to in front of it in a single cut. (00:01:55)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Lister's hands change position between cuts when Kryten walks out in the opening scene. (00:02:05)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Kryten packs his spare heads away, he places the first one in the case with his left hand. In the next shot it has moved to his right hand. (00:03:50)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Kryten is packing his heads away at the point where he says 'how would the manufacturers sell their latest model?' he is looking forwards. The camera changes angles and he is looking down. (00:04:00)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Kryten takes the invitation from the skutter, he picks it up with his right hand. In the next shot it has jumped to his left hand. (00:10:20)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Revealing mistake: You can tell Robert Llewellyn is reading his lines when Kryten receives the computer chip. He is looking much lower than the chip in his hand and it was obviously quite a complicated piece of dialogue to remember. (00:12:35)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Plot hole: In this episode Kryten has no idea how to operate a bazookoid, yet earlier on in 'Polymorph' he was able to change the settings of one from standard to heat-seek and fire it without a problem. (00:24:45)
The Last Day - S3-E6
Audio problem: When Lister tries to shoot Hudzen, Hudzen grabs Lister and throws him, but a punch sound effect can be heard, despite no punch being made. (00:26:15)
Answer: It's Queen Victoria, someone any Englishman would recognize, and needed no introduction.
