12 mini-reviews for the short attention span, taken from dark corners of stevenl's video vault:

"Tikka to Ride" (Red Dwarf) / directed by Ed Bye (1997, VHS off-air). Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellen, Michael Shannon, Toby Aspin. One of the very best of the RD episodes, and it could not have been made in the United States, even in 1997. Why? Because, in the twisted way Red Dwarf concepts operate, JFK had to save his legacy by assassinating himself. He was, in fact, the mysterious figure on the Grassy Knoll. But this one tastes better than it smells. Starting a new season with a more lavish budget and higher production values, the director was able to work in a number of immediately recognizable images we Americans associate with Dallas Nov. 22, 1963. This use of cultural shorthand is very effective. Better than usual dialogue. Includes themes of fate, causality, and cannibalism. See Kryton swear, smoke, and not give a smeg about anything once his guilt chip is removed. There is also a scene where he has a little TV screen on his abdomen which is used to fill in part of the story. Three months after this show was broadcast, the Teletubbies used the same idea as they made their debut. Coincidence?
