SUMMARY
After an encounter with
rogue simulants, the crew of Starbug find that their ship
has been infected with the Armageddon virus. Kryten is
also infected and must combat the virus in his dreams.
But when the crew use the AR suite to enter Kryten's
dreams, they find themselves in a western scenario with
Kryten cast as a drunken, washed up sheriff. And the Four
Apocalypse Boys are about to ride into town...
CAPSULE REVIEW
An unexpected and
welcome change to the usual routine, this features some
classic Dwarf moments - Cat is particularly wonderful as
the Riviera Kid and Rimmer's reactions when he realises
that he's lost his special powers are a joy to behold.
