Notes
- There is a remastered version of this episode, but I will be using the original version.
- The first appearance of Holly’s Mobile cart, which lets his screen appear anywhere.
- Holly’s “Additional”: Loneliness weighs heavy on us all. Personally, the only thing that keeps me going is the thought that we are 60 billion miles way from the nearest Berni Inn.

romp into the fantasies of the Dwarf crew, Rimmer's brain eventually takes over and ruins the entire thing for everyone. The first real expansion of cast - there were a LOT of guest stars in the game. #IPreferChicken pic.twitter.com/zPr4E1Wd6E
