I've just completed a workprint for a fanedit combining two classic Red Dwarf time travel episodes - Series II's Stasis Leak and Series VI's Out of Time. While I'm not a subscriber to the theory of the two alternate futures shown in these episodes being one and the same, the thought of editing the two together into a parallel storyline appealed to me as they both involve the crew investigating their future selves to find out what will happen to them in the future, albeit for very different reasons.
The edit runs at 43 minutes. SL is largely unchanged but a great chunk of the opening of OoT was removed - the unreality minefield was basically superfluous to the main thrust of the story, and the subsequent dialogue only refers to it as a minefield; thus, no explanation required, it could just as well be a regular minefield in space.
