Tikka To Ride - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lister picks up the camera at the start of the episode, he stands up and turns around. In the next shot, from the view point of the camera in his hand, the shot is still rotating as if he had just picked the camera up. (00:00:15)

Stoke Me A Clipper - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When the Nazi commander throws the crocodile at Ace, it changes size between shots. As he throws it, it is small and easy to throw, yet in the next shot it reveals it is taller than Ace. (00:01:00)

Stoke Me A Clipper - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When the Nazi commander throws the crocodile at Ace, the yellow curtain is behind ace as he falls. In the next shot, the yellow curtain is in front of him. It is clear he did not fall through the curtain as it does not move as he hits the floor. (00:01:00)

Back To Reality - S5-E6

Factual error: While it is true that lithium carbonate can be used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders, it cannot be administered in gaseous form. It is a very stable salt and only starts to form vapour at 1,310 degress Celcius. Spraying it about as a 'mood stabliser' at that temperature, as Kryten does, is going to kill everyone on the spot.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Although it has limited solubility in water, lithium carbonate solution exists, and water forms vapour at a much lower temperature.

Please do some research. If you dissolve a salt - any salt - in water, then boil off the water, the salt remains behind in crystalline form. It's called distillation. This is how seawater is rendered into freshwater. It's not rocket science.

I have been doing research using you. You've been a valuable asset in my education, and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. It's been fun.

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.

Moose

Answer: In the book, the Cat finds the concept of a name confusing, as he's convinced he's the center of the universe and the idea that someone wouldn't know who he was is baffling.
