- Fan-Preferred Cut Content: The episode had multiple endings considered, including one where Ace Rimmer (i.e the original Rimmer from Series I-VII) saves the day and another where the Dwarfers survive and take over the ship. These endings are much preferred by fans over the final ending (where Rimmer, trapped on board Red Dwarf, comes face to face with the Grim Reaper and knees him in the balls), since it ends on a Cliffhanger which has never been properly resolved, even during the Revival.
- Inferred Holocaust: Given that by the time we catch up with the Dwarfers in Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, it's only the four of them, it's likely that the resurrected crew that escaped on the Starbugs and Blue Midgets are all dead at this stage.
- A deleted scene shows Rimmer deliberately deciding to leave them outside. It is worth noting that the four regulars survived for over 200 years in a clapped-out Starbug while the rest of the crew are far more competent note and have more modern shuttlecraft, so they stand a pretty good chance of survival.
