After the dull grey metal door, of Kryten's Sleeping quarters, had eased
itself, and shut behind him, Lister slowly, trudged his way, to the
lift, which would take him, back to his, and Rimmer's Sleeping quarters,
without hardly any enthusiasm, indeed...
And Lister, really did not feel, any better, after he had come out of
the lift, which led, to his and Rimmer's Sleeping quarters, because he
had suddenly noticed, the icy blue moon, on a computer screen, which
was situated over the light metallic sliding door, which led, to their
Sleeping quarters.
The computer screen, in question, was showing the icy blue moon, because
this was now, their position, in that part of unchartered deep space,
now that they had finally moved a couple of miles, at the very least,
after the best part of four hundred and four smegging years!
Lister sneered at the icy blue moon, because that icy blue moon, in
question, now reflected his current mood, which was obviously very sad
and very blue, indeed...!
So, now, I am going to recall the words of the well known 1950's song:
Blue Moon,
Blue moon, you saw me standing alone, without a dream in my heart,
without a love of my own
Blue moon you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm now longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And I daresay, that if my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, was ever
brought to life, via Grant/Naylor Productions, Howard Goodhall would
probably end up, performing on the vocals, where this is concerned!
Well, I will certainly live in hope, where that is concerned, anyhow!
Well, I have always got my dreams, where that is concerned, and nobody
can ever take that, away from me, where that is concerned, when it
actually comes down to it, at the end of the day! (Marie Birch)
And now, that Lister had finally, reached their Sleeping quarters, at
long last, he sighed, with complete and utter despair, as he noted the
dust, which was practically suffocating all of his and Rimmer's belongings!
But by that point, in time, he was far too tired, and completely
buggered up, to care! And, all he wanted to do now, was to catch up,
with his sleep. And Lister, briefly took note of the counter status, on
the computer screen, in their Sleeping quarters, which indicated, that
they had roughly moved, just about five miles, towards the icy blue
moon, which they would be orbitiing, for the best part of a week, which
would take them, the best part of a week, to reach, at the very least!
And he did feel a little bit better, for that, knowledge, at the very
least, anyhow!
And the counter status, now read:
Ten hundred trillion and four hundred and six, plus five miles...
And, Lister was fully aware, that he would have no choice, in the
matter, but to climb, into his own bunk. The last thing, that he wanted
to incur, was Rimmer's wrath, once again, by sleeping in his bunk, right
below, before he finally, re-made his acquaintance, once again, over the
next forty eight hours! And, as they had had a very bad falling out, the
last time, that they had encountered, one another, Lister was really
quite anxious, not to rile him, any more, than it was absolutely
necessary, for him to do so! And, he even took, the time and trouble, to
smooth the blanket out, on Rimmer's bunk, which he had slept on, for a
measly hour and thirty five minutes, before Holly had summoned them all,
to their recent meeting, in the Science Room, even though, he was now
fit, to drop!
It was a real struggle, for Lister to take his boots off, after he had
finally struggled to climb the ladder, which led to his bunk, and Lister
had almost nodded off, against the ladder, of his bunk. He was that
tired! But he finally made it, there in the end...!
And with that, Lister finally managed to throw his boots, into a corner,
where nobody could trip over them (actually he was more worried, that
knowing his luck, Rimmer probably, would trip over them, and he would
definitely, have his contempt and anger, to put up with, which would
have not been, a very good start, with regard to him, attempting to
patch things, up with him, the moment, that he made his acquaintance
with him, once again! However, little did Lister know, that things,
would not be, as simple as all that, when he made Rimmer's acquaintance,
once again!), and he soon managed to brush off, some of the dust, off
his top blanket, so that he could have a minimum of comfort, to a
certain extent, anyway! But the more dust, he brushed off, his Titan
Hilton blanket, it suddenly blew up, yet another cloud of dust, into the
air, which completely and utterly, saturated their Sleeping quarters,
with even more dust!
In the end, Lister was really too tired to care, and he laid his head
down, on to his very dusty pillow. And with that, Lister crashed out on
his bunk, for the best part of forty eight hours!
And now, that a completely knackered up Lister has met up, with a very
disorientated Kryten, and an utterly shattered Cat, are now fully aware,
of exactly just what, is their position, with Holly, in the Science
Room, with regard, to their present situation, on the Dwarf, where their
route, back to Earth, is concerned, will they have the misfortune, to
encounter the evil Gelf's, of unknown origins, that had been, in
residence, on the Dwarf, about two hundred years previously, before
they can even reach the icy Blue Moon (which will take them, the best
part of a week, to reach!), that they have got to orbit, for the best
part of a week, before they can even set off, for their brand new
destination: The Andromeda Galaxy, is concerned? They could not be, that
unlucky, could they?! Surely not?!
And, now that we are also fully aware, of what has happened, where
Rimmer's whereabouts, are concerned.Will Holly be able to resolve, the
problem, that is affecting his light bee, where restoring him, is
concerned, over the next forty eight hours, if she wants to restore him,
that is?!
And will Lister be able, to give poor Kryten, the re-charging time of
ten hours, via his maxi-recharging unit, in his Sleeping quarters, that
is absolutely essential, to enable him, to perform his duties,
adequately and sufficiently enough, on the Dwarf, one hundred percent,
before the Cat gets his hands, on him, to clean his Sleeping quarters
out, before he can get around, to getting the Skutters, to do all, of
the repairs, that are absolutely necessary, to the roof, of the
corridor, and clean up, the corridor, by Lister and Rimmer's Sleeping
quarters, as well as sprucing up, Lister and Rimmer's Sleeping quarters?!
And now, that we have discovered, that our perky pal, Talkie Toaster,
has finally stopped functioning, after keeping Holly company, for the
best part of four hundred and four years, will Kryten, ever be able to
repair him, after he is up and running, again?! Or do we really want,
Talkie Toaster, up and running again, especially if he is going, to make
constant demands, of the Boyz of the Dwarf, to eat, a lot of bread
related products, in the near future?!
And will Lister, ever get a good nights sleep, and not come to blows,
with the Cat, before they set off, for Earth, once again?!
And exactly, just what, is the significance of the long silver space
ship, especially, where the radio signal, and those two large silver
coffins, are concerned?!

With regard to these reviews, they are incomplete, due to time
constraints, but they are available, for viewing or downloading,
via the appropriate websites, above, and they will always be,
permanently available, for this purpose! And when, they are
complete, it will be my intention, to notify, the various newsgroups,
to whom, they have been posted to! But in the meantime however,
my sincere apologies, for any delays, caused, anyway, and my thanks,
go to all, on alt.comedy.british, who are interested, in my Barry Evans/
/Doctor series and Mind Your Language Website's, anyway! And, it is
always nice to know, that there is more, than enough interest, to make
it, more, than worth my while, to keep, those websites going, thank you!
However, I am intending, to do brief plot summaries, of all, of the
Doctor series episodes and Mind Your Language episodes, when, I next
work, on my Barry Evans/Doctor series and Mind Your Language Websites,
as the reviews, that I am doing, of each episode, are very in-depth,
indeed, and they may, take up, a lot of web space, in the meantime! And
it is probably, for the best, if I set up, an Episode Summary website,
in the meantime, which will be, considerably shorter anyway, and for all
fans, of the Doctor series, and Mind Your Language series, then at the
very least, I have always, got something, that, will give them,
something, to keep them going, for quite, a long time!
I will also, put up, a short independent notice, for this purpose, as
soon, as it is possible, for me, to do so, anyway, especially, as I do
get, a lot of enquiries, via email, in general, via the Doctor series,
and Mind Your Language series, from all over, the world!
