[edit] Synopsis

Holly detects a non-human life-form aboard ship. The crew are sceptical (the last time this happened, it was one of Lister's socks), but for once she is right. A genetic mutant that can change its shape into anything, be it animal, vegetable or mineral has invaded Red Dwarf, and it begins to feed on the emotions of the crew.
