Lister finds himself missing Rimmer so much he starts dreaming about kissing him. Kryten takes matters into his own hands by creating virtual ride, The Rimmer Experience, based on Rimmer's diaries, providing Lister with a permanent cure.
Another new writer added to the credits was Kim Fuller, writer of Spiceworld. His script for "Blue" was also edited by Naylor to fit into the Red Dwarf universe. As part of Naylor's plan to mix up the episodes between Science Fiction and comedy, "Blue" was tailored towards the latter.[2]
"Blue" marks Rimmer's last appearance as a hologram. His next appearance would be as a human in Season VIII's "Back in the Red: Part I".
Howard Goodall performed as the singing Rimmer Munchkins.
