4. Out Of Time Series Six Episode Six
This episode does a great job of showing that
Red Dwarf doesnt have to be big and ambitious with amazing visual effects to be good. The crew recover a time machine (thats completely useless since it only moves in time and they are three million years from Earth) and are promptly visited by themselves from fifteen years in the future. The bulk of the episodes jokes and story comes from the crew discovering how the Time Drive will change them into elitist snobs who only care about themselves. Its a very small episode on a technical scale but its got some excellent ideas and its very funny. It also shows a more heroic side to Rimmer as he decides to fight the crews future selves to the death, declaring Better dead than smeg.
Best Scene: The crew navigating the unreality minefield that guards the Time Drive.
Useless Trivia: The episodes original ending featured the revival of the main characters due to their future selves killing them being physically impossible and them celebrating by drinking the wine Kryten made from recycled urine.
