SUMMARY
Fleeing from a Space
Corps External Enforcement Vessel, the Stabug crash-lands
on a GELF moon and the oxy-generation module is damaged
beyond repair. The crew are forced to negotiate with the
local GELF tribe who will supply a replacement unit on
one condition - that Lister marries one of the female
GELFs. Lister does the right thing a legs it with the O/R
unit and the vengeful GELFs unleash their pet, a mutant
polymorph known as an Emohawk.
CAPSULE REVIEW
A disappointing sequel
to the best ever Red Dwarf episode.
Still, it was nice to see Duane Dibley and Ace Rimmer
making welcome returns and the GELF village is well
realised. Sadly, the Emohawk never looks like anything
other than a plastic model.
