Mayday! Mayday!

I wonder why it's May Day? The distress call . . . Why do you say "May Day"? It's only a Bank Holiday. Why not Shrove Tuesday? Or Ascension Sunday? "Ascension Sunday! Ascension Sunday! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost! The fifteenth Wednesday after Pentecost!"

Oh, I don't remember that episode.

"You'll like my shipmates.
"Well, some of them.
"Well, one of them.
"Maybe."

It's from one of the later seasons, not sure which one. (The first two are my favorites, hands down. It's something about the very low budget and the character work; though I don't hate the third season either.) Probably I should have attributed the dialogue: that's Kryten, Lister, Rimmer, Kryten, Rimmer. On the other hand, you could probably tell . . .

Yeah. You want planet-hopping, watch Star Trek. Claustrophobic smeg-ups with one's holographic roommate is where it's at.
