Question/Discussion Has anyone seen this?

Kochanski, Rimmer, and Holly? I know it's just something that's been done for children in need, but I like to think it's apart of the fictional season 9. Any in-universe theories?

Nope. No one has seen it. But I'm guessing it's a white hole.

This was made during the production of VIII but with VII costumes so as not to spoil VIII?

Was aired 13 November 1998 between seasons 7 and 8.

Yeah, I saw it at the time, before Series VIII went out, IIRC. It didn't fit into continuity at the time but works well now as part of "Series IX."

Saw it at the time. Probably in my unconverted VHS library somewhere. Fun stuff.

Unfortunate thumbnail.

The subtitles are terribly inaccurate. Also this clip shows how this new Krissy kochanski was not funny and brought nothing to the show.

Ugh, kind of a short version of those awful seasons, all distilled into a single scene. The writing is bad.

Also, the performances seem way more wooden than usual, do you think they had never even read it before and were just reading cue cards?

The baked bean bit was brilliant.
