Red Dwarf: Series 7

Following the encounter with their future selves, Kryten forbids the use of time travel but Lister wishes to go back in time to get some curry. However, the crew instead end up in Dallas, 1963 on the day John F. Kennedy is assassinated.

Daredevil pilot Ace Rimmer, seriously wounded, after rescuing Princess Bonjella from the Nazis, arrives on-board Starbug, to recruit Rimmer to take his place as the next Ace Rimmer. Will Rimmer continue the legacy of Ace Rimmer?

Starbug flies into a Dimensional Tear and the crew meet themselves from an alternate reality where Lister is a hologram and Kochanski is alive. When a GELF ship opens fire on Starbug, alternate Kochanski becomes stranded with no way home.

Kryten thinks Lister likes Konchanski better than him and is making a fuss about it. When the primary power goes off and they all get stuck in a room they have no choice but to climb into the ventilation ducts and try to escape. While inside the ducts they discover Lister is claustrophobic...

Lister, missing Rimmer, tries to recall the good times they had together, and fantasizes about Rimmer's return (which leads to Lister's hottest kiss yet). Meanwhile, Kryten's rivalry with Kochanski reaches new heights as the salad cream keeps winding up in the cupboard and pants are found in her socks drawer. The crew are taken on a ride called "The Rimmer Experience," which recounts many outrageously fictionalized events from Rimmer's life on Red Dwarf.

Searching for a new head for Kryten (which exploded due to an incident involving ketchup and lobster), the crew encounter a rogue simulant on a deserted ship. The simulant kidnaps Kryten and commissions one of his own droids, Able, to fix him up. But Kryten and Able discover they're brothers, the same model, and Able helps Kryten escape. But not before Kryten discovers a disturbing secret about his creation...

The crew come across an abandoned ship with one survivor: Caroline Carmen, one of Lister's former crushes. She revives in the middle of the night and infects Lister with the dreaded Epideme virus, which threatens to kill him unless something is done. He tries talking with Epideme directly through a communication link, but nothing doing. He ends up losing an arm to the virus before Kochanski comes up with another solution.

As Lister falls into depression over the loss of his arm, Kryten has the idea to use Nanobots to grow him a new one, only Kryten's Nanobots are missing. Searching for the Nanobots, the crew find the Red Dwarf which has taken on a new form.
