Did You Know?

Trivia

Rimmer tells Lister that his nickname (or rather the nickname he always wanted to be called) was 'Ace' much to Lister's amusement. This foreshadows the appearance of Arnold 'Ace' Rimmer (Rimmer's more successful counterpart from a parallel dimension) in series four. See more »

Goofs

When Lister is wearing his foul-smelling moon boots, it seems as though Rimmer can smell them due to his expression and Lister telling him his eyes are watering, even though he denies it. As a hologram, Rimmer shouldn't be able to smell. See more »

Quotes

Lister: I went to art college.
Rimmer: You.
Lister: Yeah.
Rimmer: How did you get into art college?
Lister: The normal way you get into art college. The same old usual, boring, normal way you get in. Failed my exams and applied. They snapped me up.
