[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Lister finds himself missing Rimmer so much he starts dreaming about him. Kryten takes matters into his own hands by creating virtual ride, The Rimmer Experience, based on Rimmer's diaries, providing Lister with a permanent cure.

[edit] Trivia

  • The working title of this episode was Heartache.
  • The filming of the The Rimmer Experience scene was said to be hellish. It took nearly a full day, but most of the cast had whiplash from being banged about in the carriage within five minutes. The cast referred to this as "Black Wednesday"
  • "The Kiss" again came about because Chris Barrie and Craig Charles were complaining about the lack of kissing scenes, so the writers fixed them up with each other.
