Intriguing Tweet From Doug Naylor (Very Mild Spoiler)

In response to a question on Twitter, Doug Naylor confirmed that something which has bothered fans for years will be answered in the new series.

A fan asked "Is Rimmer in the new ones the hologram of the resurrected Rimmer in Series 8 or the one who became Ace?"

Doug replied "Watch RDX and all will be revealed in Show 6".

It probably is "our" Rimmer, but I'm glad we'll finally know. :)

I personally saw the BTE Rimmer as the revived Rimmer turned dead, because he was such a git again. If it was original Rimmer returning from being Ace, I'd have thought he'd have changed more i.e. become sane. But that wouldn't be good television.

Oh well. This is why I hate writing fanfiction for series that haven't really finished. Half my stories become AU without my meaning them to.

Not necessarily. He could have had his Ace memories wiped, like in MissFlibble's fic.
