Line 16:
** In ''Parallel Universe'' Deb Lister (Lister's female equivalent) is [[Doctor Who/Recap/S26/E01 Battlefield|Brigadier Bambera]]!
* [[The Pete Best]]: Kryten first appeared in a one-off appearance in Season 2 where he was played by David Ross. The character proved popular and opened up more storytelling possibilities, so Grant and Naylor decided to bring him back as a regular -- Ross was unable to take the role due to scheduling commitments, however, so he was replaced by Robert Llewellyn (with a [[Hand Wave]] about how his appearance and personality was now different). Llewellyn proceeded to make the part his own.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** The first two series' title music is very reminiscent of ''[[Also Sprach Zarathustra]]'', and the sequence is in line with scenes from ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' that utilise said music. The name ''Holly'' is a [[Shout-Out]] to ''2001''{{'}}s HAL, too, as is the fact that Holly, or "Hol" as Lister sometimes calls him, refers to David Lister as "Dave." (In the radio sketch series ''Dave Hollins, Space Cadet'' on which the series is based, the computer was known as 'Hab'.)
** Speaking of music, Ace "What a guy!" Rimmer's theme in ''Dimension Jump'' could very well be a shout out to "Take My Breath Away" from ''[[Top Gun]]''. A different theme was used in ''Stoke Me A Clipper''.
** There's a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Die Hard|Die Hard 2: Die Harder]]'' in "DNA"; Lister exclaims "How can the same smeg happen to the same guy twice?" after he is [[Call Back|attacked yet again by his favorite foods]]. The Cat responds "Last time it was hors d'oeuvres, this time it's lunch!" referencing the film poster tagline for ''[[Alien (franchise)|Aliens]]''.
** Queeg's name (and most of his episode's plot) is a shout out to ''[[The Caine Mutiny]].''
** The episode "Backwards" mentions a mysterious bank robber named [[Monty Python's Flying Circus|Michael Ellis.]]
** The in-universe TV show "Androids" has a theme song that sounds suspiciously like the long-running Australian soap drama, ''[[Neighbours]]''.
{{quote|''"Androids, everybody needs good Androids...."''}}
* [[Trope Namer]]:
** [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: Repeated to [[Overly Long Gag]] levels in the first episode.
