Storyline
Whilst Lister writes himself a father's day card the others give Pree,the ship's computer,a glamorous upgrade. However she is soon putting the ship in danger and setting it on a collision course with the sun while it fills with laughing gas. Her excuse is that Rimmer has programmed her to imitate his own incompetence. Fortunately Lister takes advantage of the fact that he is his own father and,in that capacity, not a crew member to shut down Pree and save the day. Written by don @ minifie-1

It looks as though the previous episode wasn't a fluke as this one was just as good if not better. After it is pointed out to Lister has been a poor father to himself he decides to help himself out... of course things don't go according to plan; in fact they go so badly that the ship's new computer flushes him out of an airlock then informs the others that now their mission to return Dave to Earth has been cancelled the ship will be flown into the nearest sun. There is also a secondary subplot where Rimmer's question about whether or not 'Chinese Whispers' is racist leads to an unintentional game of Chinese Whispers as the question changes as it goes though the ship.
This episode was classic Red Dwarf with lots of really good laughs; particular favourite moments included Kryten and Rimmer discussing the personality of the new computer... Rimmer says it doesn't really matter but chooses: female, blonde, and twenty six with 36D breasts... he is quite adamant on the last point. The Chinese Whispers gag was funny as the game itself obviously isn't racist but the 'Taiwan Tony' 'Oriental Food Dispenser' spoke in voice that was clearly a stereotyped 'Chinese' accent only used by people pretending to sound Chinese; I took this to be mocking the stereotype rather than being racist itself although others may disagree. The way Lister's story played out was fun in the silly way fans will expect; the special effects had a delightfully retro '80s quality that would look ropey if this were serious sci-fi made today but just served to add to the charm of the episode.
