Series VI, Episode 5 - Rimmerworld

When the Dwarfers discover the crashed Simulant ship that they destroyed, they decide to go on board and recover some of their food supplies.

Further details

Unfortunately, when they get there, a dying female simulant jumps out on them with a bazookoid gun. Rimmer has the chance to save the crew, but instead chooses to save his own life and takes the escape pod. He ends up stranded on a planet for 600 years and in that time recreates a whole population of Rimmers!
