It was shown straight after "Trojan" and some kind soul's uploaded it to Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du7idKWntr0

For those still avoiding spoilers, assuming you've seen "Trojan", G&T have a lovingly detailed review: http://www.ganymede.tv/2012/10/red-dwarf-x-trojan-review/

And also an analysis of the new title sequence: http://www.ganymede.tv/2012/10/red-dwarf-x-title-sequence-analysis/

I enjoyed both their review and the titles analysis - glad somebody did the latter in addition to Kelly so there's a couple of things to read about them. I want to know who the Naked Legs are! But I suspect we may have to wait a couple or so weeks to find out.

I enjoyed the reviews too, but I'm not sure about the bit where he says that Lister's "basically responsible for Howard's death". For a start he's already dead, and also we don't know that his light bee's beyond repair.

Agree that Lister acts rather out of character, but being on hold can drive the most laidback individual mad. I also wonder if his newfound obsession is a remnant of his "BTE" depression - becoming overly preoccupied with something he really doesn't need. Or I may be overanalysing. ;)

Probably depression still plays a big factor in the phone thing. Lister's deeper than that normally. What's telling is that I read a couple of comments here and there about how in Trojan Lister was an oaf or simple, with the phone thing - which means they weren't paying much attention, since he also gets in a couple of good points about how dumb he apparently feels it is for Rimmer to go to this effort for his brother. You also start to wonder if these reviewers have never experienced something like long term depression (and if not, god love 'em, because they're lucky S.O.B.s).

Yes, in Lister's situation, clinging to something like getting a Stirmaster is completely understandable. It's a link to his Earth roots - a silly one, but a link nonetheless.
