 Ace soon bids Lister farewell and proceeds on an impossible search to find a worse off Rimmer in another universe.The idea behind this episode came as a result of Chris Barrie (simultaneously filming this series while playing Gordon Brittas, another character disliked by those around him in "The Brittas Empire") asking Rob Grant and Doug Naylor for the chance to play someone heroic, suffering from what he described as 'git overload'.The ending scene went through numerous changes.
