The crew of the spaceship Red Dwarf - the last human
alive Lister (Craig Charles), the after-death hologram Rimmer (Chris Barrie), the humanoid Cat
(Danny John-Jules), & the
humanoid robot Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) - have gone to the deep sea to
investigate a (space-)shipwreck, & there they discover that the whole crew
has committed suicide ... & what's more, soon they are attacked by a squid,
a squid that kills its opponents by giving them enough despair to kill
themselves. Luckily our heroes can escape in their szhuttle just in time,
when ... ... all four of them wake up in a different reality, where it turns
out the whole Red Dwarf-experience was just a cyber-reality computergame they
have been playing for the last four years (& not very good at that), &
now it's back to their normal life: Cat turns out to be an unattractive country
bumbkin, Rimmer is a homeless bum, Kryten a traffic controller & Lister ...
an evil executioner. Soon the quartet run into trouble, which culminates in
Kryten shooting a cop ... which in turn makes all four of them - having become
what they always despised most - wanting to kill themselves ... when the Red
Dwarf's ship computer Holly (Hattie Hayridge) pulls them out of this reality
back to the Red Dwarf ... & their other reality turns out to be induced by
the Despair Squid to drive them to suicide - which almost worked ... In
all, season 5 of Red Dwarf was a rather dull affair, replacing
most of the wittier comedy with (badly staged) action scenes & reducing the
humour to sight gags, this episode however is a slice or 2 above the rest,
containing a thought-through story that is even funny in itself, & that
doesn't culminate in running up and down some corridors.
