[edit] Synopsis
Holly invents the Holly Hop Drive (a box with Start and Stop on it), which is theoretically capable of taking Red Dwarf back to Earth immediately. The device malfunctions, however, and Red Dwarf is catapulted into a parallel universe where society developed along matriarchal lines. Lister manages to have sexual intercourse with his parallel universe self and, due to a difference in reality laws of physics, ends up becoming pregnant with twins Jim and Bexley.
[edit] Trivia
