Strong contender for the best episode. It's a brilliant sci fi story but also relies heavily on subverting the characters they've built up over the run of the show, and they do it incredibly well.
"Don't compound your temporal faux-pas by telling us our future!" "No, not that war sir, the other one" "Who can forget the famously insane monarchies of the 19th and 20th centuries!" "Or we could just use the teleporter" The writing on this show was bloody amazing.
This was the first episode of Red Dwarf I remember seeing. The bit where Kryten's trying to knock out Rimmer made me a fan for life... when Rimmer's banging his head against the wall and Kryten's hitting him with the iron bar, I almost died laughing.
Oh good Heavens! Red Dwarf! Im 72 and i remember this program and many other British programs that were just so great. Another favorite was Coupling. The USA tried to do a version of it and just hosed it up big time. UK....never sell the USA rights to copy one of your shows!!!

sadly cat and lister died shorty after the episode ended, sucked into the vacuum of space and asphyxiated, kryten and rimmer too after their electronics died in the harsh conditions of space
RD would have been a one series 'flash-in-the pan'.. . if it hadn’t been for introducing Cat. And just as it was slowing, bringing in Kryten to play off A. J. R was inspired.
Missed out the best part: Cat: "All in all a one hundred percent successful trip" Kryten: "Sir we lost Mr Rimmer" Cat: "All in all a one hundred percent successful trip"
