This sounds like that episode of Voyager where the Hirogen invaded the ship.

I know it was silly, but I cracked up when I saw Lister's attempt to fool the aliens. That upside-down head stunt gets me everytime.

Red Dwarf did it first though. For reason a lot of American Star Trek fans seem to belive that Red Dwarf rips of Star Trek a lot of the time, when the opposite is truer (just look at 'Thanks for the Memory' and Conundrum').

I`d say "Clues" was more like "Thanks for the Memory."

When we see Starbug move in to fire at the Simulants' ship, the main thruster are completely dead.

Well, Doctor Who did one and Star Trek did one, so I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised that Red Dwarf did a Western episode. The main difference between this one and The Gunfighters and Specter of the Gun is that this one is actually good (possibly the best sixth season episode).

Fireball XL5 did one was well to reuse the 4 feather falls sets.

When Starbug hit the molten lave it reminded me of the Doctor Who episode Underworld.

Hopefully only the start of it.

I believe the ship crashing into the newly forming planet in Underworld is the Episode 1 cliffhanger.

(Not that I blame you for forgetting. It is a rather unmemorable story.)

Well episode one could be regarded as the start of the story, it's almost a prelud to the rest of it.

Did anyone else notice the piano being played in the background in the saloon is actually doing the Red Dwarf theme (all saloon-like, of course).

It's a bit of a bad design for an escape capsule to have a key, (Rimmer askes for them,) isn't the idea to make a quick & hastle free getaway?

One of the few Dwarf shows I have ever seen.
What annoys me is that at the point where the ugly guy in the bar is saying, "...now what about the insult?" the audience laughs at Lister's response and thus drowns out the actual punchline.

I believe the ship crashing into the newly forming planet in Underworld is the Episode 1 cliffhanger.

No, I was wrong. That happened several minutes into episode 2.

Nice ending where Starbug flies off into the sunset.

A wink to the Westerns this episode was parodying.

VERY IMPRESSIVE, LISTER. TOO BAD THIS ISN’T THE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS

The tennis ball-girl's reaction to Lister.

????????

it's a joke playing on the fact that Lister is said in this episode to be using the Wimbledon sports simulation game as a way to have sex with the tennis girls.

Oh yeah, I remember that bit now.
