The Dwarfers search for some tech to fix Starbug's faulty steering. They come across a Scientific Research Centre where several figures from history are recreated in the present and 'cured' of evil. Or are they?

Main Cast

Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat), Robert Llewellyn (Kryten)

Did You Know?

This episode was originally titled "Here No Evil".

The track originally chosen for Lister and Hitler to play in the "jam" scene was Toto's 1982 hit "Africa" - but permission was denied by the publishers when they learned that the episode would feature Hitler playing it!

Actor Ryan Gage, a long-time Red Dwarf fan, is the third person to play a version of Adolf Hitler on the show; although like Kenneth Hadley in Series IV, he was only playing a wax droid. Only the real Adolf has actually played himself, though early drafts for this episode might have seen actor Adrian Lukis' character revealed to be the real deal!
