Red Dwarf mistake picture

Krytie TV - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene on the Canaries' transport, where they first try to convince Kryten to record the women showering, Kochanski speaks the first line in the scene, but when the shot changes to the wide shot, she isn't there anymore. (Confirmed on the DVD commentary). (00:05:55 - 00:07:20)

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where Rimmer and Lister get beaten up in the captain's office, as they walk down the corridor, Lister's locks are behind his back. As they turn the corner in the next shot his locks are in front of his right shoulder. (00:20:40)

Dwarf

Back in the Red (3) - S8-E3

Visible crew/equipment: When the Cat says "You mean to help you get out if the program freezes" on Blue Midget, a soundman can be seen crouching behind the control panel. The top of his head is visible in the top right of the screen. (00:14:10)

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

Suggested correction: That is not the head of a soundman crouching behind the control panel, or any crew member for that matter. What you are seeing is Kryten's hand moving around.

Casual Person

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Visible crew/equipment: In the cargo hold, when Lister says 'He really loved that bird', just before Pete turns into a dinosaur, a crew member can be seen walking around in the background, despite the rest of the crew being frozen in time. (00:25:25)

Dwarf

Pete (2) - S8-E7

Revealing mistake: After the T-Rex eats the curry, it starts stamping about the cargo bay, yet there are no ripples in the very watery curry. (00:08:30)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rimmer runs away from Pete, the rest of the crew start running in the opposite direction and should be a good few feet ahead of Rimmer. In the next shot it shows the crew running away together. (00:27:00)

Dwarf

Pete (1) - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ackerman sticks a screwdriver into Kryten's neck, the shot changes to the Cat and in the background you can see that Ackerman is not standing next to Kryten. In the next shot it shows Ackerman attacking Kryten again. (00:04:35)

Dwarf

Krytie TV - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: After Kochanski finds out about shower night and chases Kryten out of the room, she doesn't actually walk out the door, yet in the next shot she walks back into the room from outside. (00:16:25)

Dwarf

Cassandra - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: After Rimmer and the others sing to try and get out of their canaries duties, Hollister is looking up at the ceiling to his left. In the next shot he is looking to his right and his wouth is wide open. (00:07:40)

Dwarf

Nanarchy - S7-E8

Lister: What, they fixed your core program and then decided they'd be better off without you?

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.
