They explore a nearby crashed ship in search of answers, only for Lister … >
The boys from the Dwarf are back in this ambitious, enjoyable opener to the long-running sci-fi comedy’s eleventh season. ‘Twentica’ sees the gang travel back in time to an alternative version of 1950s America, in which technology – including mechanoid Kryten and hologram Rimmer – has been outlawed by time-hopping Simulants wanting to control the … >
