A bit more thought-provoking than the episode that preceded it, the second episode of Red Dwarf’s new series is ultimately a slightly mixed but entertaining affair.
If the opening episode restated the battle lines, this one provides a positively game-changing resolution that is guaranteed to shock.
Ross Noble, a man who has forged a living from going off on a tangent, brought his Mindblender show to Brighton last night.
