Trivia / Red Dwarf Season II "Queeg"

• The Cast Showoff: Chris Barrie shows off his skills as an impressionist when Rimmer takes on the personalities of crewmembers.
• Creator's Favorite Episode: Norman Lovett named this as his favourite episode.
• Deleted Scene:
  • An extended sequence of a malfunctioning Rimmer impersonating many more of the dead Red Dwarf crew outside the Holographic Projection Suite. Whilst Rimmer begs for help his voice and actions imitate Holly (saying that he is mad); Captain Hollister (asking Lister for his cat); a deep-voiced Scottish man; a Brummie (Birmingham accent); a begging and praying animated Italian man; and a woman with a high-pitched London accent.
  • The full-length "6 am wake-up call" discussion between Rimmer and Queeg was cut for time.
• Edited for Syndication: In a 2012 repeat, the shot of a skutter flicking a V-Sign at Rimmer was cut.
• No Stunt Double: Craig Charles performed his own stunts in this episode where Lister is thrown from his bunk as the ship is hit by a meteor, and then when he flies over the console in the explosion.
• What Could Have Been: An early draft of the script included the Wilma Flintstone discussion between Lister and Cat which would later be seen in "Backwards".
• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Rob Grant and Doug Naylor later admitted they had reached the end of the script without knowing how the plot would be resolved.
