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. :)

Seriously hope it's our boy -- though since this is Doug, my brain is betting against my heart on some strange third option (like say nano!Rimmer dying and getting BOTH disks uploaded when his hologram was brought back so he has two sets of Rimmer memories, allowing him to take whichever direction he wants to whenever Doug likes).

That's a good theory. Yes, the most likely option, IMO, is something that makes him basically "our" Rimmer, but with complications.
