The series continues to go from strength to strength here, this series is brilliant. Although it's not the best episode of mthe series, one of the best scenes is in the first episode, Holoship. A hologram from the ship (played by Don Warrington, who many years ago was in Rising Damp) is feeding back to the ship, Lister is taking the smeg and, in my opinion, the scene is hilarious.

By far the best episode of the series is "Back to Reality" when there crew are have a group halucination that the whole thing's been a virtural reality game they've been playing for the last 4 yeaars and aren't who they think they are. This is where we first meet Cats alter-ego, Dwayne Dibley, Timothy Spall guest stars as the technician and is absolutely brilliant. Playing the DVD with the cast commentry on, I was surprised to find out that Timothy Spall isn't actually a Brummie!

As ever, loads of smeg ups, documentaries and featurettes.
