Like many people who appear to have everything, Dave's life has been tinged with tragedy. Well, actually it hasn't, but we can only hope. Now onto Dr Bob Porkmann, father of the condom that calls you back.

Freeze. I've seen enough.

HHolly

What you gonna do?

I'm going in. I'm going in to rescue him.

Holly (flatly, yeah-right mode): Rescue him.

It's my duty. My duty as a complete and utter bastard!

[Lister looks at the stasis pod, while suffering from Space Mumps]

So who is she, Holly?

HHolly

Says on the pod, Barbara Bellini

Barbara Bellini, what a beautiful name. There's no justice, how can this happen to me? Maybe I can wear a turban and pretend I'm from India.

Maybe you can stick a spike in your head and pretend you're the Taj Mahal!

There must be some way of findin' out. [if the pod contains Barbara Bellini or a rogue simulant]

HHolly

There is. (pause) All you've gotta do is hang around here for 24 hours. Then, if you find your limbs scattered across deep space and your neck full of saliva, you can take it as read it probably wasn't Babs.

So, if it's not Bellini in there, who is it?

One of the prisoners. And considering the ship was transporting forty psychotic, half-crazed, mass-murdering, super-strong androids, we thought it prudent to find out who the smeg was in there before we woke them up.

With respect, sir, they're not androids. They're simulants.

What's the difference?

Well, the basic difference is that an android would never rip off a human's head and spit down his neck.

Can we stop it, Hol?

HHolly

What? Oh. No. One-way process.

Can't we X-ray the pod?

HHolly

No. Lead lining. That's to survive in space, innit?

There must be some way of finding out.

HHolly

Well, there is. All you 'ave to do is 'ang around 'ere for 24 hours. Then, if you find your limbs scattered across deep space and your neck full of saliva, you can take it as read it probably wasn't Babs.

I have a third question. A sensible question. A question that will test the limits of your new IQ to its very limits and stretch the sinews of your knowledge to bursting point!

HHolly

This is gonna be about waffles, isn't it?

Talkie Toaster (sounding hurt, as it's been caught out): Certainly not. And I resent the implication that I'm a one-dimensional bread-obsessed electrical appliance!

HHolly

I apologise, Toaster, what's the question?

The question is this: given that God is infinite, and that the Universe is also infinite...would you like a toasted teacake?

HHolly

We're locked out!

This is not a malfunction, there's something controlling the craft!

Holly, any traffic around?

HHolly

Nothing on the local scan.

This isn't possible! There must be -

Inquisitor (through Lister): I am in possession of the human known as Lister. Do not attempt to resist me!

What happened to him? His voice finally break?

Kryten (realising what's happening): Uh, who are you?

Inquisitor (through Lister): Tremble at my name, for I am the Inquisitor!

The Inquisitor?!

Inquisitor (through Lister): Your vessel is under my control. It will return you to your mother ship, where you will face judgement. You will each present a case to justify your existence. If you fail, you will be deleted.

OK. I'm here, what's the beef?

HHolly

We've got a visitor.

What?

HHolly

A pod arrived about 20 minutes ago. Something was in it, but it's broken free.

Any ideas?

HHolly

Well, I don't want to spread any panic or alarm.

Whaddya mean, you don't wanna spread panic and alarm?

HHolly

Well, you've always had this thing against tarantulas, haven't you?

(worried) Tarantulas?

HHolly

I mean that you've never been overly fond of them as a species, have you?

Well, no.

HHolly

And the prospect of waking up and finding one crawling over your clammy, naked, helpless body has always filled you with a kind of cold dread?

Well, yeah. W - what are you trying to say to me, Holly?

HHolly

I'm saying it might not be your night.

HHolly

Rude alert! Rude alert! An electrical fire has knocked out my voice recognition unicycle! Many Wurlitzers are missing from my database. Abandon shop! This is not a daffodil. Repeat: This is not a daffodil.

Well, thankfully Holly's unaffected.

I know that, emotionally speaking, this isn't the news you want to hear right now. But there's a blob on the sonar scope the size of New Mexico and it's heading your way.

HHolly

I think our friend the Suicide Squid is about to put in an appearance.

Where is it, precisely?

Directly above you. Two thousand fathoms and diving.

Oh, thanks a lot, Rimmer. You know the state we're in and you have to go and give us news like that. You couldn't have lied?

I was lying. It's only one thousand fathoms.

Have you figured a way to get us out of here, Hol?

HHolly

I have actually, Dave. I've devoted all my run-time to looking for a loop-hole in the prison regs. I think I've come up with something that means you can serve your entire two-year sentence in just fourteen weeks.

Ah, Brilliant! What have I got to do?

HHolly

Become a dog.

Hol: need some advice, mate. We've been cornered by a T-Rex that was formerly a sparrow, and the only thing that can turn it back into Woody Woodpecker is in its stomach. What's your take on the situation?

HHolly

What do you want -- the long or the short version?

Oh. Long.

HHolly

You're finished.

What's the short version?

HHolly

Bye.
