Red Dwarf Series 10 Ep 3

The one with the lemons .....

To be honest after feeling like the show was back on form last week, this ep just felt like it didn't cut the mustard as much. There was some fairly decent jokes but I wasn't laughing like last week.

Our boys find a rejuvenation shower flat pack. Queue some Sweden jokes and them managing to make a complete pigs ear of assembling it.Although the Cat hammering some tubing was funny.

Somehow - lord knows how when its a rejuvenation shower, they get transported back in to time to 23D and then discover that the remote to get them back is out of batteries. Queue Rimmer remembering back to his childhood and making batteries from potatoes. They are in England so no potatoes for many years yet. So then Rimsy suggests Lemons.

The boys hike thousands of miles to the far east and secure some lemons. They have a little break and get some eats only to discover Jesus is sat behind them. Rimmer wants to go get his autograph and tells the story of how he's from the church of Judas that believed Jesus had a twin brother who actually got crucified allowing Jesus to look like he lived. Interestingly I have not heard of any complaints - I'm sure that suggestion will have annoyed some Christians out there.

Jesus is in a spot of trouble, the guys end up transporting him back to Red Dwarf and then have to perform an op on him as Jesus has kidney stones. Now I think there was potential for a lot more comic gold having Jesus on Red dwarf but no besides him discovering bags! and freaking out reading about himself in a book Lister was reading for his robotics course, that was that.

I did like though the continuity - Lister has enrolled from last week.It will be interesting to see where that goes.

Jesus hops back to 23AD and breaks the remote. He then starts trying to break the commandments and cause trouble so no one will follow him and there be no wars from Christianity. Kryten and co catch up with him and hilariously it turns out they have the wrong Jesus. They head back to the ship - Lister interestingly mentions they need to search for Kochanski. Perhaps this is the story arc going to lead to the conclusion of season 10??? Nothing has been mentioned in the prior 2 eps.

End gag - Jesus is shown selling bags and then a group of twins turn up for a restaurant booking under the names Jesus and Judas.
