SUMMARY

Under the influence of a psychotropic dug, the crew of the Starbug aren't sure what's real and what is an Artificial Reality program designed by Captain Hollister to see what they're up to. Rimmer panics when he realises that the Captain might learn of his involvement with Lister's attempts to escape imprisonment and, despite the 'handicap' of being under the influence of the sexual magnetism virus, tries to sort things out.

CAPSULE REVIEW

A good, solid continuation of the story. The artificial, computer generated world is perhaps a bit too reminiscent of Back to Reality, but the story moves along at a fair pace and it's worth it if only for the unlikely spectacle of Rimmer transformed into an irresistible babe magnet.
