8/10
Fun episode that gives some decent fan service
snoozejonc15 December 2020
Starbug lands on a moon and takes away an unwanted visitor.

This is a fun and enjoyable episode that revisits some of the previous fan favourite aspects of the show and puts them all together.

The plot is quite simple and is really just an excuse to get a previous monster of the week plus some memorable alternate versions of Rimmer and the Cat on screen together for the audience to enjoy once more.

All performances are superb, with each character getting their moment to shine. Lister initially takes centre stage as he's put in a very awkward and funny situation in the GELF village. Rimmer and Cat in the guises of their famous alter-egos do not disappoint. Kryten has my favourite moment of the episode, acting out of blind panic before engaging his 'shame mode'.

Overall the episode isn't quite as consistently funny as some of the others in series 6 and doesn't have any new sci-fi concepts, but it's great fun and you have to be a killjoy not appreciate a little but of fan service.

For me it's a 7.5/10, but I always like to round upwards.
