TV review: Red Dwarf XII, Dave
There are some lovely moments from writer Doug Naylor here as the plot pans out and things are not quite what they seem. Some of the gags are a bit obvious - you can see a Rupert Murdoch swipe light years off - but other touches are neat and imaginative, particularly when the crew get into a sticky patch and are confronted by their own worst fears.

In the run-up to its twelfth series, which lands on Dave on 12th October, I'm rewatching Red Dwarf from the beginning. This week it's time to reach for the maple syrup, taramasalata, or (if it makes any difference) hummus in Red Dwarf IV.
