Notes
- There is a remastered version of this episode, but I will be using the original version.
- This was the first episode filmed by Robert Lewellyn on the series.
- Cat refers to one of his outfits as “King Penguin” – I always wondered if that was a reference the final episode of Black Adder III.

One of the few eps of Dwarf I don't care for. It's a standard sci-fi trope - the two leads get swapped. Lister is Rimmer, and Rimmer is Lister. But the alternate versions never jelled for me. The non swap stuff isn't that bad, tho. pic.twitter.com/4pL0yLiTQO
