Dear Johnny Fanboy,

What is the name of Arnold Rimmer's inflatable woman in Red Dwarf? In Timeslides, having realised he is alive and solid once again, Rimmer asks Kryten to unpack Rachel and get him the puncture repair kit.

However, in an earlier episode, Queeg, he refers to his love doll as Inflatable Ingrid. Maybe he has two of them, but if so, why does he ask Kryten for the one that needs repairing?

Johnny Fanboy replies:

In Queeg it transpires that Lister has been - as he puts it - seeing Ingrid behind Rimmer's back. You can therefore understand why Arnold might not wish to make use of Ingrid after that.
