A character's mouth is taped shut to prevent him calling out a warning. In another scene, a character is rendered unconscious with a drug-infused pad held over his nose and mouth.
Rimmer leaves their dimension- the Cat and Kryten believe him to have died. He says goodbye to them pretending to be Ace, but they don’t really know that he’s left.
Additionally, Kristine Kochanski leaves the show without much of a word even in content. Back to Earth addresses this from Lister’s perspective.
Not shown on screen, but a character talks about how he and his siblings were mistreated by his father when they were children, which resulted in him going to court to become an emancipated minor.
A humanoid cat dies on-screen in "Waiting For God". The same episode also refers to multiple off-screen deaths among the cat people, including their killing one another in religious disputes, a group of cats flying directly into an asteroid, and the sick and injured being abandoned to die. Lister's pet cat, Frankenstein (who appears in "The End"), passes on during his time in stasis, but her death is not depicted on-screen.
A shapeshifting alien briefly takes the form of a rabbit. Nothing bad happens to the rabbit. (The shapeshifting alien meets a well-deserved death later, but it's long since stopped looking anything like a rabbit by then.)
S2E2 Better Than Life ends with one character bringing a hammer down on another's hand, but freeze-frames right at the point of impact so no damage is shown.
The crew encounter a "despair squid" that employs a defense mechanism in which it sprays an ink that causes anyone who comes into contact with it to hallucinate a scenario that drives them to despair and eventually suicide. Everyone except Holly falls prey to it, and she manages to snap them out of it.
Yes, kind of. The character who died and was resurrected as a hologram in the first episode is miraculously brought back to life for about five minutes before he is killed in a random accident and goes back to being a hologram for the rest of the series. The whole sequence is played for laughs.
Kryten uses the slur to describe Rimmer during a trial, amidst an attempt to deflect blame from Rimmer by painting him as too incompetent to have been given responsibility in the first place.
Not on screen, but S2E2 Better Than Life has a scene where one character receives the news of his father's death. This is followed by a scene where another character relates the story of losing his father.
A character tells an anecdote from his childhood which implies that his mother was having an affair with her brother-in-law. Later in the episode, he says more directly that she was promiscuous.
S7E4 Duct Soup, one of the characters is revealed to be claustrophobic when it is triggered while crawling through a narrow tunnel. Anxiety attack is depicted; another character comforts him while a third later makes claustrophobia jokes but is quickly reprimanded.
Holograms are the shows answer to ghosts, they are former living people who have had their personalities scanned and are brought back as an incorporeal projection, one of the main characters is a hologram
season 6, episode 3: after rimmer drinks in the saloon bar, he v* into a cowboy hat. no visual, just audio. it is referred to a few times, but I believe this is the only time it actually happens
A character clutches his face and screams that he thinks he's lost a tooth. No damage is shown (and his teeth seem to be fine in subsequent appearances).
The show wasn't being made around that point in history and is made by English people who would have no reason to mention it, it is therefore not mentioned
One of the episode antagonists may come across this way: not specifically trans, but depicted as queer in a way that isn't particular about distinguishing between varieties of queerness, and very definitely predatory.
There is a joke about a man fantasizing about cheating on his wife with another man (with the framing that he's not bisexual, it's just that the other man is so goshdarn attractive). No actual cheating occurs.
Multiple scenes in the ship’s medbay. Off the top of my head:
Series 1 Episode 5, Confidence and Paranoia Series 2 Episode 6, Parallel Universe Series 4 Episode 2, DNA Series 6 Episode 5, Rimmerworld Series 10 Episode 2, Fathers & Suns Series 11 Episode 3, Give & Take
The main characters spend much of the episode inside a virtual reality simulation where reality is molded to their whims. The transition into the simulation is clearly marked, but at the end of the episode there is ambiguity about whether they are back in reality or still in the simulation.
S7E4 Duct Soup, one of the characters is revealed to be claustrophobic when it is triggered while crawling through a narrow tunnel. Anxiety attack is depicted; another character comforts him while a third later makes claustrophobia jokes but is quickly reprimanded.
There is a scene where a character undergoes explosive decompression due to being in the vacuum of space without a helmet. The "explosion" is very quick and exaggerated and completely unrealistic and not gory at all.
Use of mild profanity and rude hand gestures. The most extreme is "arsehole", which is blipped out in the original broadcast edit but left audible in some later home video releases.
Not as such. “Back to Earth” is set primarily in our world, set as simply a different universe. The characters learn that in our world, they’re nothing more than characters on a TV screen, and even meet one of their actors.
A character attempts undermine another character (who is heroic in a traditionally masculine way) by suggesting that he secretly wears women's underwear. Played for laughs.
An alien posing as Rimmer's mother provokes him by claiming to have had sex with Lister, who is about Rimmer's age (ie. young enough to be 'her' son). There are comments highlighting the age gap (e.g. her mentioning that she has false teeth). To be clear, she's making it up and nothing actually happens between her and Lister.
The episode "Waiting for God" features discussions of the fictional Cat religion, including descriptions of what Lister sums up as "people using religion as an excuse to be crappy to one another".
In a parody of an airline safety video, the announcer states that there are no emergency exits and that in the event of a crash the recommended action is to take one of the provided poison capsules. She then demonstrates the correct use of the poison capsule and apparently dies.
It's not depicted on screen, but there's a joke about a snob attempting suicide after learning that his daughter is going to marry a noveau riche from the lower classes.
not a relationship but a character was unconsentially kissed by his uncle, who meant to kiss his mum instead. never specified if he was a blood relation.
A scene where a male character is naked from the waist up in a sexual context. (In the same scene, his female counterpart is a state of undress but one that still gives her a respectable amount of coverage.)
The main characters visit a parallel universe in which women are the dominant gender, and there are jokes about men being subjected to the kinds of sexual harrassment that women are subjected to in our universe.
The credits pause partway through and additional dialogue from the final scene is heard. This happens twice, and then the credits continue to the end as normal.
Frequent scenes of people being threatened with guns, a description of someone being killed by firing squad, and people being shot and killed in the climactic battle.
A group of characters are killed in a radiation leak from the spaceship's drive. The event is not depicted, and it's not clear how much it resembles a nuclear explosion.
In S6E1 ('Psirens') Kryten, a mechanoid, is instructed to get into a waste compacter against his will. He emerges shortly after as a cube, but is unharmed
During the climactic confrontation, a character is choked into unconsciousness, and another character falls unconscious after taking a shovel blow to the head.
