Back in the Red: Part II was the second episode of the eighth series of the television comedy series Red Dwarf.
[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Using the luck virus, sexual magnetism virus and the confidential reports, Rimmer begins a scheme to get promotion. The sexual magnetism virus has the effect of making him attractive to all the female crew members. Meanwhile, Kryten has been restored to his factory settings and Lister plans an escape plan with Kochanski and Cat.
[edit] Trivia
- A sign on the door identifies the doctor's character as Dr. Legs Akimbo. However, this isn't visible in the finished episode.
- The Red Dwarf VIII Script Book shows that Doug Naylor had originally intended for the Monkees song "Take a Giant Step" to accompany the four Dibbley characters stepping into the corridor and walking together in unison. This sequence was shot, and when clearance was not granted for the use of Monkees music, the song Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection, best known for its use in Reservoir Dogs, was used instead.
