Back To Earth Part 2 Review
Some of you may have even given up, and watched Britain's Got Talent instead of last night's episode - but that would have been a shame. Because there were green shoots, ladies and gentlemen, the green shoots of improvement...
Anna Lowman, TV Scoop, 12th April 2009The boys are back in town! The middle part of the new trilogy that's sent sci-fi message boards into a frenzy sees Arnold Rimmer's holographic replacement Katerina (played by Claudia Winkleman's half-sister Sophie) determined to take Lister back home. Needless to say he crew are in for a big suprise on the Earth of 2009. And Rimmer has no intention of being replaced.
Mark Braxton, Radio Times, 11th April 2009Back To Earth (Part 2) Review
Okay, that was poor. I could forgive part 1 for many things, but part 2 was unforgivably laughter-free and meandering. You're playing a dangerous game when you attempt meta-comedy and, while this actually did a decent job for the first ten minutes or so, it was too dull for words.
