Rimmerworld
"Rimmerworld" is the fifth episode of science fiction sit-com "Red Dwarf" Series VI and the 35th in the series run. It was first broadcast on the British television channel BBC2 on 4 November 1993, was written by Rob Grant & Doug Naylor and was directed by Andy de Emmony.
Plot.
Arnold Rimmer undergoes a medical and learns he has a stress-related condition that could give him an electronic aneurysm. To prevent this, Kryten prescribes several stress relief measures. Shortly after this
the gun-toting simulant at the start of the episode, and other references to a "psychotic deranged ruthless killer", could be thought to parallel the real-life tragedy, and thus be considered offensive. "Out Of Time" was shown in its place, followed by series IV episode "Dimension Jump" a week later; "Rimmerworld" itself was eventually repeated in mid-April.
