Bodysnatcher (Red Dwarf)

"Bodysnatcher" was a partly finished script that was written but unused for the first series of the BBC sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf.

"Bodysnatcher" was one of the scripts to be handed around during the interview process for the main casting, although at this point it was unnamed.

The original series finale involved Lister resurrecting Kochanski's hologram from the projection disc he found with Confidence.

However, when the unnamed script was dropped, "Me²" was written to compensate for the missing episode and the ending of "Confidence and Paranoia" was similarly changed so that the disc in Kochanski's box was in fact Rimmer's.

To headline the release of Red Dwarf Remastered on DVD in November 2007, the same audio story board process used in recreating the lost episode of Series VII, "Identity Within", was used to create the "Bodysnatcher" episode.
