UPDATE - It turns out Craig said a lot more than was initially published. It's interesting and somewhat more optimistic as it seems the cost issue may be with one specific story Doug wants to tell.
“It was never done on the cheap, Red Dwarf, [but] now you can make things look so much better for so much cheaper. “Hopefully the stars will align and we’ll get it done because we all want to do it. The script is great. “I can’t really tell you much about the script, but it’s very Lister-heavy and it involves a lot of this new AI technology and stuff like that.” “I really wanted to make it,” Charles continued. “It’s an absolutely stunning script, and the bits that we’ve seen in mock-ups that we’ve we’ve mocked together, it just looks stunning.” Charles went on to hint that the new episodes could involve Lister coming face-to-face with his younger self, saying: “I don’t know if this is giving anything away, but if you think that it’s me at the age of 60 acting against me at the age of 23… it looks stunning, you’re like, ‘F**king hell, how did they do that?!’ “But can we afford to make it? That’s the big thing.”
PLEASE let this get made. It sounds great.

Hello my name is Arnold Judas Rimmer and I have luscious brown hair styled in a very very short crewcut (that's because I'm going to become an officer) and my nostrils are distinguished and sexy (NOT like two railway tunnels) and a lot of people tell me I look like Alexander The Great's (AN: If you don't know who the smeg that is, get the hell out of here!!!) chief Eunuch. I'm not related to Napoleon Bonaparte but I wish I was because he's a major smegging hottie. I'm a Hologram so I have an H on my forehead but it's always straight and shiny. I'm also a Second Technician (Superior to Lister) and I go to a JMC mining ship called Red Dwarf where I'm currently the Acting Senior Chief Commander (in case you couldn't tell) . I wear mostly Uniforms. I love the JMC Regulation-Issue Uniform Catalogue and buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a freshly-starched beige uniform shirt with matching trousers and black combat boots which I polished three times this morning. I was wearing my JMC tie and JMC tie pin and I had two pens in my breast pocket and three more pens, one pencil and an eraser in my shoulder holster. I was patrolling B Deck with my platoon of scutters. A gimboid called Lister saw me and called me a Smeghead. I put up my middle finger at him and also put him on report.

I think the reason so many people love Rimmer as a character is because there are so many different ways to interperate him. Is he neurodivergent? Repressed? Struggling with his sexuality or mental health? The answer could be yes or no, it's entirely up to how we want to view him. He can literally be whatever we need him to be to feel comforted and represented.

There is so much potential when it comes to in-universe social media/online interactions for Red Dwarf
JMC has the most obnoxious internet presence, trying to present themselves as a friendly brand. It has a Tik Tok account that interns are forced to make comedic content for and it gets into fake internet drama with Diva Droid as a publicity stunt. Some people try to critique how this corporation associated with the military industrial complex is trying to personify itself but are drowned out by others who think it's only funny or cringey and isn't that deep
An aspect of media discourse are people calling new movies and TV shows "woke" or "pandering" because they included holograms as characters. Some pieces of media will try to virtue signal by claiming to have hologram representation when in reality the character is alive for most of the runtime until the last five minutes when they are brought back as a hologram and those scenes can be cut/censored before being released to more conservative colonies like Io. There's debate whether living people can play holograms or whether that's problematic
As per this post, Rimmer and Lister would both seperately and unknowingly post to r/AITA about each other and once people connected the dots, they comment (among ones saying they are both the asshole and that they need help) "Why are you both still sharing a room together? Can't you get a transfer? You should move out" and both of them would respond with something like "no why would I do that" and these responses get downvoted to hell. Eventually they're both banned from the subreddit (not a new experience for Rimmer who has been banned from several). This becomes part of Rimmer's internet lore which gains notoriety. When making a video about it some YouTuber ends up stumbling upon information about Red Dwarf and JMC's unethical practices (such as the inclusion of whole prisons on their vessels) and ends up getting harassed by the company just like that one guy IRL who went down the rabbit hole of a shady politician which led to his house getting firebombed
