10 Great Moments in Red Dwarf

8. Ace Rimmer's Introduction ("Dimension Jump," 1991)

We all know Rimmer is a horrible, awful mess. But what if he could have been more? What if he actually was the daring, dashing, Space Corps test pilot he dreamed that he was? Well, in an alternate reality that€™s exactly what he is. Ace Rimmer (what a guy!), is everything that Arnold Rimmer wishes he was, and the role is a great chance for Chris Barrie to really showcase the fact that he can do more than play a self-loathing weirdo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofibNrYDjdY

7. The Conversations in "Marooned" ("Marooned," 1989)

Lister and Rimmer are stuck aboard a crashed Starbug with nothing to eat, nothing to do and no one but each other for company. This leads to some wonderful conversations between the two where, among other things, we learn that in a previous life, Rimmer was Alexander the Great€™s chief eunuch, and that Lister lost his virginity on a golf-course at twelve. Something Rimmer obsesses over in a strange way. €œ12? You can€™t have been a full member of the golf club, then!€ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMfYtonS6UA
