SUMMARY
Kryten's jealousy
finally reaches a peak when, on the fifth anniversary of
his rescue from the Nova 5, he plans a special dinner
only for Lister and Cat to be lured to the Artificial
Reality suite by Kochanski's Jane Austen World program.
Kryten wreaks havoc in Pride and Prejudice Land and
eventually literally blows his top. To secure a
replacement head for Kryten, the crew must deal with
GELFs and a lone, psychotic simulant.
CAPSULE REVIEW
A bit of a mess really.
The Pride and Prejudice Land scenes are great fun, but it
starts to drag in the latter half with all the messing
around with the simulant and Kryten's 'brother'. It gives
the impression of being two shorter scripts force fitted
together with predictably poor results.
