    • 9:45 p.m. Red Dwarf X: Trojan. This, on the other hand, was fantastic! Perhaps low expectations are the key.
    • 8:50 p.m. Red Dwarf: Back to Earth: 3/10. Painfully self-conscious, empty and fanservish. Then it goes and downgrades parody to imitation, and again to Family-Guy-esque acting out scenes and lines from Blade Runner. All would be forgiven if it were more than slightly funny.
