The final episode of Red Dwarf XI is as funny as it is frustrating. In ‘Can of Worms’, the crew run into a female felis sapien – i.e. a lady version of Cat. However, Cat’s dream-come-true isn’t all that she appears to be… The gang discover that she’s actually a polymorph (a shapeshifting creature, for … >
