Trivia / Red Dwarf Season II "Thanks for the Memory"

• Deleted Scene:
  • Extended dialogue from Rimmer's Deathday party. The Cat mocks Rimmer's dancing, and Rimmer tells the others that he is trained in classical ballroom dancing. Rimmer also tells them that he attended an officer's party once where he was stripped naked and had horse chestnuts forced up his bottom, amongst other humiliations. The promotion-obsessed Rimmer proudly went through this since he mistakenly believed it was an initiation into the 'Space Masons Guild', many of whom his family were members of, but Rimmer had never managed to join.
  • A scene was cut where, after drink-driving it back to Red Dwarf in Blue Midget, the staggering boys are escorted back to their bunks by the skutters. Holly has simulated extreme drunkenness for Rimmer, causing him to crawl.
  • Extended dialogue from the scene where Rimmer drunkenly expands on just how few times he has made love.
  • Additional dialogue showing Rimmer remembering Lister's past was cut for time. This dialogue reveals that Lister once pawned his Gran's false teeth for money to take Lise Yates out on a date. He justified this to himself by saying that Gran didn't use them, except to open bottle tops and chew tobacco. Three months later, he got Gran some more, only they didn't fit, and she looked like Ed the Talking Horse.
• Edited for Syndication: In a 2012 repeat, Rimmer calling Captain Hollister "Mr. Fat Bastard 2044" was cut, hidden by a slowed-down shot of Lister. Lister leaving the room at the end of the scene was also cut to help transition into the ad break.
• Hostility on the Set: Craig Charles recalled that he was angry about Chris Barrie's impersonation of him in this episode (where Rimmer is seen with Lise Yates instead of Lister), causing the two actors to have a fall out.
