SUMMARY
While tackling a giant
squid, the crew of the Red Dwarf are shocked to find
themselves returned to 'reality' - in fact they're a
bunch of misfits and political thugs who have been hiding
from the real world in the popular Total Immersion video
game, Red Dwarf. Nothing they've seen or
done in the last five years has been anything but a
computer generated reality. Or has it?
CAPSULE REVIEW
For one horrible minute
it really did look like it was all over for the Red Dwarf
crew. Marvelous stuff, cleverly plotted, brilliantly
written and containing just enough twists and turns to
keep audiences guessing what was really going on. When
the truth is revealed it's one of Dwarf's
finest moments. A classic.
