SUMMARY

Ace Rimmer returns to the Red Dwarf with shocking news - he's about to die. But there's always been an Ace Rimmer and, as one reaches the end of its life, so a new one must step into the breach. Step forward Arnold J. Rimmer, your moment has come. The problem only remains how to persuade the weasly, yellow bellied Rimmer to do the right thing.

CAPSULE REVIEW

Now this is more like it. Ace returns for his third appearance [after Dimension Jump [1991] and Emohawk: Polymorph II [1993]] and Chris Barrie says his [thankfully temporary] farewell to the series. A huge improvement over Tikka To Ride.
