Notes

  • The first and only three parter in the show history.
  • Chris Barrie returns as a series regular, although Rimmer here is not a hologram, but living due to change in show format.
  • Additional series changes including the return of Red Dwarf and Holly (as Norman Lovett)
  • The original Red Dwarf crew is also now alive, so this is something the show never had to deal with before, the full crew of the Dwarf (beyond flashbacks), not just our crew.
  • Three actors from the original series of Red Dwarf return here too – Mac McDonald (Cast Hollister), Paul Bradley (Chen), & David Gillespie (Selby). Mark Williams was unavailable to revive his character of Peterson.
  • The Cat dance routine in Part 3 was choreographed by Charles Augins who played Queeg in the series 2 episode of the same name.
  • The Red Dwarf model in Series 8 is the same one that was used in the “Remastered” Series 1-3 version, which was longer.  It was explained on screen by saying the nanobots restored Red Dwarf to what it was like when it was originally designed, and not part of budget cuts which resulted in the ship model we knew for the first five series.
