The Red Dwarf cast performed entirely in character, especially Craig Charles, who so completely threw himself into the role of Lister that he ate curry paste from the jar at one point.
Ainsley Harriott previously appeared on Red Dwarf (1988), Season 6, Episode 4: "Emohawk - Polymorph II", playing the Gelf Tribe Chief before becoming famous in the UK TV series "Can't Cook, Won't Cook".
Originally broadcast as part of "Red Dwarf Night" on Saturday 14 February 1998, a tenth-anniversary celebration of Red Dwarf (1988), and is available on the Series 4 DVD.
