The Temporary Absence Of Rimmer

This isn't explained from a real world point of view : the actor Chris Barrie got to make a BBC 1 sitcom called The Brittas Empire, where he was the star. For a time it became extremely successful, and as production duly increased he had to drop out of Red Dwarf (where he wasn't the star and that sitcom was on BBC 2 so was less popular and less in demand by viewers and the BBC). As the popularity of the Brittas Empire series duly faded and it was axed though, he was duly able to return to Red Dwarf again.

Logo

Just as an aside for the logo caption, the 1989-91 and post 2016 logos are clearly a different serif serif font to the ones used in the original DVD set and on screen from 1992 (that are serif). For instance, this Digital Spy article specifies the 2016 logo as resembling the font and logo of "the early series". TardisTybort (talk) 22:10, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Interesting notice

In Once Upon a Time... Space, there was spaceship that kind of looks like SS JMC Red Dwarf
