The skutters are motorized service and maintenance robots that stand at around 2 feet (61cm) tall, appearing as motorized boxes with a single limb each, ending in a three-clawed hand with an electronic eye. They perform menial tasks around the ship, such as sweeping the cinema floors after a movie, or painting the corridor walls. The skutters are unable to speak (except with bleeping noises), but can usually make their feelings clear. Their hands are particularly well designed for giving " flipping the bird" (a.k.a. "up yours") gestures with one or two digits, most often to Rimmer. Their behavior is rather more human-like than might be expected for such crudely designed robots; they play cowboys-and-Indians, enjoy watching films, are highly emotional and appear to be somewhat unstable and malfunctional, presumably as a result of 3 million years of continuous operation.Olaf Petersen is played by Mark Williams [9] in the television series.

The next morning I got washed, dressed, bagged up the kedgeree and left for the school. At this stage of my placement I had still yet to lead a lesson in the class and had been working with small groups, primarily helping them with their Maths and English. The wait to deliver my first lesson was making me anxious. During that morning the teacher took me aside and told me that the following week I was to take on 50% of the classes for the next 6 weeks, designing and teaching the English, Science and Maths curriculum. As the bell rang for lunch, I left the classroomin a mild panic, thinking about how I was going to plan 6 weeks’ worth of lessons over the coming weekend. I absent mindedly headed to the staff room to retrieve the kedgeree.

According to the DVD commentaries, the original Ace Rimmer blond wig, which according to Barrie was very comfortable, was stolen and every subsequent Ace Rimmer appearance was done using an inferior wig that was brown.

Following his visit to Red Dwarf, Ace extended his adventures through the multi-verse and meeting many alternative versions of himself. When he finally became unable to carry on ("Stoke Me a Clipper"-S7,E2), he passed his legacy on to another version of himself, who became a new Ace. In turn, when it was the new Ace's time, he passed the torch on. As each Ace died, their light bees were sent in orbit in small yellow 'coffins' around an unknown planet, and by the time Red Dwarf's Rimmer took on the mantle in Stoke Me a Clipper, the billions of Ace Rimmers who came before him had formed a golden ring similar to Saturn's (and resembling the logo of the TV series). Honesty and candour are the values I hold most important in fostering positive relationships and that includes owning up to my mistakes. It would be a few years later until I would truly open myself up to admitting my mistakes, but now it underpins my approach to life and work. Mishaps occur, that’s fine, it’s what you do next and what you learn from them that matters. Hopefully that means that my relationships, unlike that fated lunch, won’t turn into a smoking kipper!
