Red Dwarf XI Episode 4 review: Officer Rimmer
All in all, 'Officer Rimmer' is a fantastic character episode with some clever special effects, but its rather jarring ending means it isn't quite on the same level as last week's superlative 'Give and Take'.

Red Dwarf XI, episode 4 - Officer Rimmer review
The Red Dwarf crew has faced many horrors: emotion-sucking GELFs, rogue simulants, despair squids, evil versions of themselves, and have even witnessed Winnie-the-Pooh being shot by firing squad, but this time they face possibly the worst horror of all: Rimmer with power.
