Intriguing Tweet From Doug Naylor (Very Mild Spoiler)

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

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. :)

Most intriguing...

My gut feeling says it's our Rimmer, too. I never felt too warmly towards the series VIII Rimmer, since he's technically a reboot of the series I Rimmer. He hadn't been on the same adventures as the rest or have the memories of those years. So yeah. I'm rooting for old Rimmer. In which case I'm very curious in how/why he stopped being Ace. And if he recruited someone else before he hung up the wig and tinfoil jacket.

I think he probably did pass it on, but what I want to know is whether he gave up because he couldn't do it, or if he became a hero...Good tv would be that he couldn't do it.
