Synopsis
The gang decide to follow Rimmer's lead and run away from Pete, now de-evolved into a Tyrannosaurus rex, but he manages to eat the time wand. Meanwhile, Kryten's "pet" penis Archie (which he has made himself in an effort to be reclassified as a man) escapes and he is prevented from chasing it when the Canaries are detailed to stop Pete after his deadly rampage through the supply decks.
Production
The Pete dinosaur was created using computer generated software similar to the ones in Jurassic Park. The CG Pete dinosaur was combined with interactive animatronic parts; a huge foot and head were produced for close up shots. [2] Some scenes had to be cut from the final episode, which included a fight sequence between the Pete dinosaur and Kryten. Another scene cut was Rimmer's attempt to compose an ode to the Captain.[3] Guest stars included Mac McDonald as Captain Hollister, Graham McTavish as Governor Ackerman, Ricky Glover as Baxter, Ian Masters as Birdman, Shend as Warden Knot, Jake Wood as Kill Crazy.
