Yes, you're thinking of "Me^2".  But in "Thanks for the Memory," Holly
conjures up a hologram sandwich for Rimmer to eat, and it's clearly
visible.

In saying that Rimmer couldn't have holo-objects in early episodes, you
may be thinking of the scene in "The End" when Rimmer started to write
down something Lister had done, realized he had no clipboard, and said
"I can't write it down.  I'll remember it."  But he didn't actually
*ask* Holly for a clipboard.  For all we know, he could have had one,
but hadn't realized it yet.  At that point, he was still getting used to
being a hologram, and probably didn't understand what his options were.

 This is a well worn thread and is covered in the FAQ but I thought that I would add my impressions too as it seems quite obvious to me :-) A new swear word was needed for the series as the real ones would not get through and the word SMEG is in my opinion definately a shortened form of SMEGMA. However another reason that it was chosen I think is that it can be used different ways:

 Oh Smeg!    instead of the real   Oh Shit!   and

 What the Smeg!  intead of the real  What the fuck!

 both expressions are used in the series, and it can be seen why they chose a word beginning with an S. Apologies for the swearing by the way.

There are two books - _Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers_ and _Better

Another very good point.  Kryten does have a much better record with
that sort of thing.  The only thing I remember Holly inventing is the
Holly Hop Drive -- which worked, but not at all the way he expected it
to.

Well, "Doctor Who" has the additional problem of being nearly thirty
years old, so that today's writers have to worry about contradicting
things that were written before they were even born.  And the
accumulated mass of previous Doctor Who episodes is so great that it's
difficult for any human being to be really familiar with it.  Just think
how long it would take to watch them all *once*.

Of course, the shows that have the worst problem with this sort of thing
are the daytime soap operas.  Some of the American ones have been
running for several decades, have a rapid turnover of cast and writers,
and have *hundreds* of episodes each year (since they produce five new
ones each week, and never have reruns).  Under these conditions, it's
virtually beyond human ability to keep track of the show's history.

I recall reading of one case in which the show's writers decided to
bring back a character that had left the show years before.  So they
hired a new actor and began writing him into their plots.  The returning
character became romantically involved with one of the regular female
characters, and they eventually became engaged.  The writers were
beginning to work on the script for the wedding episode when a letter
arrived from a little old lady who had been watching the show every day
for about thirty years.  She pointed out something that no one else had
noticed: the guy was about to marry his own daughter!  Apparently, the
lady who wrote the letter was the only person who remembered far back
enough to realize this.

We can hope that this will never happen to Red Dwarf, but the longer the
show lasts, the greater the risk that it will.  It's already starting to
happen to Star Trek.

My apologies to RD fans.
If I recall correctly, the article in RDS said "can't touch anything". I was in a hurry - some of us have to work, you know :) - so technical accuracy was not of paramount importance.

It's true, Red Dwarf has been going for six years over here in England. 
However, each series is only six episodes long, and there have, sofar,
only been 5 series so there IS only a couple of dozen episodes (roughly)

Don't ask WHY there's only six episodes in each series, may be the BBC
thought that if they had more, they would run out of ideas too fast.

While I'm here, did anyone else (in England) see CyberZone last night
with Craig Charles (That's the one who plays lister, incase you are

Could it possibly be that he isn't looking for the lyrics, but the music
itself?  I mean, there isn't any lyrics for the opening credits.
Unfortunately, I also don't know of the musical score being available
