Kryten and Lister use a Triplicator to create two copies of Red Dwarf.
This is an okay episode with a cool sci-fi concept but for me the humour isn't quite at the usual standard.
I think this had the potential to be excellent, but the approach appears to lean too much towards over-the-top silliness. Personally, rather than the high and low versions of the characters all looking and acting the same I would have tried to make them a bit more individual and done it with a bit more subtly. There feels like a reliance on sight gags which to me are moderately funny and the banter is not up to the usual standard. All that said it does have its moments, such as the low version of Rimmer wearing leather, chains and fishnets who is very funny.
The episode includes some spoofing of Star Trek, particularly with the concept of positive and negative versions of characters. It also has a scene where Lister is controlled via remote control very much in the vain of 'Spock's Brain'.
I don't rate this one as high as some of the early-mid series episodes, but I appreciate that humour is in the eye of the beholder so those who appreciate the comedy more will probably find it highly enjoyable.
