It was the last episode to feature the hologram Rimmer.

Plot

Kochanski (Chloë Annett) is trying to get back to her own dimension and Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) is still jealous of the relationship that she could have with Lister. Meanwhile, Lister (Craig Charles) begins to miss Rimmer (Chris Barrie) and reflects on some of the fun times that he and Rimmer spent together in the early days after the accident. When he has a dream that Rimmer returns and he and Rimmer kiss, Kryten tries some psychology to get to the bottom of Lister's problem. However Kochanski has a little talk with Lister and makes him realise why he misses Rimmer, much to Kryten's disgust. Kryten, having to be one step better than Kochanski, creates "The Rimmer Experience" a virtual reality rollercoaster ride created from Rimmer's memories, depicting him thinking of himself as a 'Hero' and a 'Remarkable Person', giving Cat (Danny John-Jules) fashion tips and believing that Lister has called for Rimmer to save him before he wets himself. As the ride finishes it provides Lister with a permanent cure.

Production

Another new writer added to the credits was Kim Fuller, writer of "Spiceworld". His script for "Blue" was also edited by Naylor to fit into the "Red Dwarf" universe. As part of Naylor's plan to mix up the episodes between Science Fiction and comedy, "Blue" was tailored towards the latter.cite web | url =http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/deck05/series_7/writing.html | title =Red Dwarf series VII Writing | publisher =Red Dwarf.co.uk |accessdate =2007-12-17]
