Trivia
- The working title of this episode was "Men of Honour".
- Rimmer can be seen operating the console to send an SOS message, despite being a hologram. He also appears to have a sense of smell, when he recognises the smell of burning camphor wood. The operating console that Rimmer used could be hologrammatic (although there is no telling if there is an "H" on it, it could be on the front). Rimmer's sense of smell is also shown briefly in "Kryten" where his eyes are watering over the smell of Lister's boots.
- Even though Starbug crashed in the backwards reality the episode before this one and it was never shown if they retrieved it, Starbug is actually shown here. It could be Starbug 2, but even after it crashed in this episode, it is still shown in subsequent episodes.
Plot Inconsistency
- When Rimmer is discussing how he lost his virginity, he states it was with a girl named Sandra. In "Thanks for the Memory", Rimmer said he had sex once, and it was with Yvonne McGruder, however it is likely that he was lying as every other reference throughout the entire series backs up the claim his only sexual encounter was with Yvonne McGruder. Of course, as the words he uses referring to his tryst with McGruder are "made love", it's possible that, in his system of values, there's a difference between "having sex" and "making love".
