In the aftermath of "Stasis Leak", Todhunter attempts to find out what happened. His crush on an oblivious Lister hampers matters.
Mild innuendo and humorous references to spanking.

(I was very flattered to wake up this morning and find that RoseCathy had written a remix / continuation of this before I'd even got round to posting it here. I would link to it here but she may want to do that herself so I'll settle for strongly recommending it.) :)
ETA: The link can be found in the first comment.

Date: 2016-02-03 12:30 am (UTC)Just wanted to say here - rather than risk offending that Robert Bathurst fan - how odd it is when you post photos of him almost 30 years older.
Don't misunderstand me - he looks really good and obviously I have seen him older before but I think he'll always be preppy, 30-ish Todhunter to me. ;)

Date: 2016-02-03 03:21 pm (UTC)I need to watch it again but it's almost as though the hairdresser on the first shoot had a bottle of brown hair dye they wanted to use up and went to town on both Chris and Mr Bathurst! I've always thought Todhunter looks different (and more attractive) in the party scene where he calls for a toast to George McIntyre than he does in his first scene. Wonder if that was because the actor's hair had reverted to its (then) natural colour.
I could probably write an article on the differences between the original and remounted shoot, but I think someone on G&T already has. ;)

But yes, Rimmer's hair especially changes substantially during The End (for the better, IMO). As for Mr Bathurst, what puzzles me is that he seems to have become blonder with age before going grey -- can that happen? :S He looks pretty dark in the photo of him as a tiny baby performing with tiny baby Emma Thompson (https://www.flickr.com/photos/uon/4689590291) but then he's already leaning blond in Joking Apart, which was filmed only a few years after RD.
Sorry...I just like hair.
