Trivia:

Contrary to popular rumours, the dog food eaten by 'Craig Charles' in this episode was not real. He says in _'Red Dwarf': Series III - All Change (2003) (V)_ that it was actually tuna mixed with meat jelly - although he added that it might as well have been dog food, as it tasted horrible.

Goofs:

Plot holes: When Lister is burning the wood chest, Rimmer can smell the wood burning in the fire. However, since Rimmer is only a hologram, he shouldn't be able to smell anything.

Quotes:

Holly: Well, the thing about a black hole - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the color of space, your basic space color - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?
Rimmer: But five of them? How can you be ambushed by five black holes?
Holly: It's always the way. We've been in deep space for 3 million years and we haven't seen one. Then all of a sudden, five of them come along at once.
