SUMMARY

Kryten is becoming increasingly jealous over Kochanski, but is briefly distracted when the heating system runs amuck. Eventually Starbug's generators fail and the crew are trapped in Lister's room. With the ship heading into a sun, the crew must navigate several miles of service ducts to get back to the cockpit, but Lister is all but incapacitated by his claustrophobia.

CAPSULE REVIEW

Another disappointing episode. Since when has Lister been claustrophobic? Clearly made on the cheap [it was a last minute replacement for a story in which Cat must have sex or die] this is the very worst kind of 'bottle' show. Contrived and pointless.
