Marooned was the second episode to air in the third series of Red Dwarf.
[edit] Synopsis
Holly orders the evacuation of the ship as Red Dwarf is approaching not one, but five black holes. Lister and Rimmer head one way in Starbug, while Kryten and the Cat go the other in Blue Midget, to rendezvous with Holly and Red Dwarf on the other side. However, Starbug is hit by an asteroid and crashes on an ice planet, with little food and hardly any firewood. When supplies run low, Lister tries to burn Rimmer's collection of 19th century war figures. He burns £24,000, but then Rimmer tries to burn Lister's guitar, Lister asks for a "moment alone". Lister cuts a silhouette of his Les Paul into Rimmer's camphor wood, snaps it and puts it in the fire. But then, Rimmer returns....
[edit] Trivia
- The working title of this episode was Men of Honour.
- Rimmer can be seen operating the console to send an SOS message, despite being a hologram. He also appears to have a sense of smell, when he recognises the smell of burning campher wood.
- For those with good eyes, a police box can be seen in the hangar bay - this is the TARDIS time machine from another British science-fiction series, Doctor Who.
