Strong finish to the second series

Holly invents a device that can move Red Dwarf to any point in space instantly.

This is a highly enjoyable episode with an good sci-fi concept and some of the best comedy banter of series 2. It also ends with a reference to a previous episode that gives a nice touch of continuity.

The idea of the parallel universe with opposites of everything and everyone was a great idea and provides the basis for some hilariously funny moments, particularly the interaction between Rimmer, Lister and their female counterparts.

The episode overall is littered with some of the best banter of the series. Most of the jokes come at both Rimmer and Lister's expense and all cast members, both regular and guest, give excellent performances.

The dream sequence at the start is mildly amusing and allows Danny-John Jules to showcase his dancing skills, but how it ever became so popular I'll never know.
