The Inquisitor was the second episode to air in the fifth series of Red Dwarf.
[edit] Synopsis
Starbug is captured by a being called the Inquisitor and returned to Red Dwarf. The Inquisitor is a self-repairing simulant who survived until the end of time and, realising that there is no god and no afterlife, decided that the only point of life was to make something of yourself. He is on a journey through time, seeking out the worthless and removing them, allowing a different person to exist in their place, what would have happened if a different sperm met a different egg. Kryten and Lister prove to be unworthy and are sentenced to time erasure, but with some time-jumping manoeuvres, manage to defeat the Inquisitor and cause him to erase himself from time.
[edit] Trivia
A robot entered into the BBC2 series Robot Wars (presented by Craig Charles) was named after this episode of Red Dwarf.
