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.

Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: When the simulant walks past Lister, the Cat and Kochanski who are hiding under the blanket, he walks to the far right of the shot and a piece of material is hanging from him as he stops. The shot changes to show the simulant walking through the doorway, yet when the camera cuts back to Lister, the Cat and Kochanski, the piece of material is still in the corner of the screen meaning the simulant is still stood there.

Continuity mistake: When Able takes his head off and throws it at the simulant, he throws it forwards towards where Lister is standing. The head manages instead, somehow, to hit the simulant standing next to the gelf on Able's left. (00:20:00)

Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Epideme - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lister punches up the Leviathan's destination, it reads 'Theta 4'. However, in the next scene in Starbug's medibay, Lister says that the Leviathan was headed to Delta 7. (00:23:10 - 00:24:25)

Epideme - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kochanski shows Kryten she didn't really cut her own arm off, Kryten holds his arms out in shock. In the next shot, his left arm is by his side again. (00:27:05)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: When Kryten and Kochanski are trying to think of famous one-armed people, Lister's guitar is sitting flat against his chest in all close up shots but it is lying flat on his lap in wide shots. (00:03:05)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where Kochanski tells Kryten to let Lister be independent, Kryten's hands are below his circular stomach screen. In the next shot his hand is touching his chest plate. (00:06:35)

Dwarf

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.
