* RealityEnsues: Lister gets put on trial for flying a ''Starbug'' without a licence and crashing it and bringing two stowaways on-board. Cat and Kryten are put on trial for being stowaways. And Kochanski for seemingly aiding and abetting the felony. And, in fact, it's all technically true; Lister ''doesn't'' have a pilot's license, and neither Cat nor Kryten are authorized to be aboard ''Red Dwarf''.

* TheBusCameBack: Well, sort of. Chris Barrie returns as Rimmer but, as Lister quickly works out, it's a recreation of Rimmer from before the accident who lacks all the CharacterDevelopment that the Rimmer from series I-VII went through.



* CutAndPasteEnvironments: The episode goes out of its way to invoke this by accurately replicating the original bunk room from the first two series, right down to the awful painted wood look... for a scene that couldn't have lasted more than five minutes!

* RebuiltSet: This episode features a sequence set in a close recreation of the sleeping quarters from Series I, right down to the guitar and porthole. It's most likely be due to the fact that the timeline the ship is running on is set before the radiation leak and those were Rimmer and Lister's quarters at the time.
