| rdfs:comment | - Frank Rimmer was the brother of Arnold Rimmer and a high flying officer in the Space Corps. There were four Rimmer brothers: John, Howard, Frank and Arnold. Their social father was obsessed with getting them into the space corps and continually tested and cajoled his sons to that end. To ensure they met the height requirements, Mr. Rimmer used a traction table to stretch his sons. By the time Frank was eleven, he was 6 ft 5 inches tall (RD: Better Than Life). Frank may have been named after his uncle, who was having a secret affair with Mrs. Rimmer (RD: The Last Day).

| abstract | - Frank Rimmer was the brother of Arnold Rimmer and a high flying officer in the Space Corps. There were four Rimmer brothers: John, Howard, Frank and Arnold. Their social father was obsessed with getting them into the space corps and continually tested and cajoled his sons to that end. To ensure they met the height requirements, Mr. Rimmer used a traction table to stretch his sons. By the time Frank was eleven, he was 6 ft 5 inches tall (RD: Better Than Life). The three older brothers bullied Arnold fiercely, although he saw it as playful high jinks. Even when they placed a landmine in his sandpit, he laughed it off. During their "Three Musketeers" game, Arnold always had to play the Queen of Spain (RD: Polymorph). In adulthood, Frank bore a strong resemblance to Arnold, except that Frank had a thin moustache and a deeper voice. Lister used a timeslide to visit Frank's wedding to Janine, where Frank repeatedly told him to move aside as they took the wedding photographs. Lister was so surprised at being sent back in time that Frank had to punch him several times before he agreed to leave (RD: Timeslides). Frank may have been named after his uncle, who was having a secret affair with Mrs. Rimmer (RD: The Last Day).
