** The eighth series finale "Only the Good..." had '''four''' different endings altogether. The original ending (which was filmed but not used) was a happy ending where they saved the ship and took it back for themselves. The second ending (written, but not filmed) was a DownerEnding with Rimmer trapped aboard the disintegrating ship. The third ending involved Ace Rimmer coming to the rescue at the last minute -- this was ready to be filmed, to the extent that Chris Barrie was ''in his Ace costume'', before the broadcast ending was thought up and hastily thrown together.

** The first series would have ended with the episode "Confidence and Paranoia", and would've had a cliffhanger ending with Kochanski being resurrected as a second hologram. But as the planned second episode "Bodysnatcher" just wasn't working, they scrapped it, rewrote the ending for "Confidence and Paranoia" to have a duplicate of Rimmer activated instead, and wrote the episode "Me^2" as a new series finale.
