In it, Rimmer and Lister were best buddies (rather than the VitriolicBestBuds they were in canon), the Cat was a hip teenage girl, Kryten was a biologically challenged bay (called Cry 10), and Rimmer was disabled (rather than dead as in canon). Also, the human race was still alive, the ship was not three million years into deep space, and aliens existed. The show in question had an alien try to kill them over for Rimmer to miraculously walk again to save the day.
