THE RED DWARF PLOT INCONSISTENCIES PROJECT v.8.0

3.67 SMEG OUTS TAPE

• The smeg out from Queeg (2-5) where Rimmer flubs his line 'I'm lucky I can keep my legs on with you in charge' contains a prior smeg out which would have made the footage useless anyway. In the line immediately before, Holly says, 'All right, keep your hair on,' without moving his lips.
• In Question 10, the conversation total statement is wrongly attributed to Future Echoes (1-2) when in fact it comes from Balance Of Power (1-3). [El Skutto says: This is actually my fault because I didn't pick up this error in time for the PIP edition that went to GN for the Smeg Outs.]
• In Question 8, Kryten says that in DNA (4-2) it's mentioned that Rimmer failed his astronavigation exam 13 times. This statement was actually made in the episode Justice (4-3), not DNA.
• In Question 6, Kryten says that people who speak Esperanto are referred to as Esperantinos throughout the first series. The Esperantino/Esperantist question is only raised in the episode 'Kryten,' which is the first of Series 2.
• In Question 4, Kryten says that Lister said to Rimmer 'You're beginning to sound like my Mum.' Lister actually said this to Kryten (Kryten, 2-1). If we want to be really picky, Kryten also said that Lister asserts he was abandoned at birth. Lister actually says that he was six weeks old when abandoned (The Last Day, 3-6).
• In Question 3, Lister says that he did tear out page 61 of Lolita (not page 60) because he was holding the book upside-down. A quick look at Marooned (3-2) shows that he was indeed holding the book right side up, and therefore must have torn out page 60.
• In Question 1, Kryten says that his 'all human cells contain DNA' statement comes from 'episode four, series two.' This would be Stasis Leak, and Kryten wasn't even in this. The episode was DNA (4-2) -- Kryten has misread the episode notation for the question as (episode-series) instead of, correctly, as (series-episode).
