Red Dwarf - Rimmer Can't Count

When Rimmer and Lister are arguing over whether Lister should go into stasis, Rimmer complains that Lister wants to "leave [him] alone for three million years". Very shortly afterwards, Rimmer exclaims "Mind? Mind? Why should I mind? Three hundred thousand millennia alone, while you're in suspended animation?"

Three hundred thousand millennia would be 3 x 100 x 1000 x 1000: three *hundred* million. The DVD subtitles give the correct version, "3000 millennia", but Chris Barrie definitely says "three hundred thousand"!

jellyspider writes:: I forget the exact numbers, so forgive the paraphrasing here, but Rimmer said once he'd failed 11 times, 12 if you count the one where he had his spasm. It's possible, given his gittiness, that he occasionally leaves out some of his other failures due to other pointless reasons.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?

Camo writes:: It has been stated that the indesceprencies in the number of failed examinations is due to him sometimes not including ones where he had 'spasms' or fainted during the exam.; 15 of 6576 found this helpful. Did you?
