From
Red Dwarf:
Back To Reality
The premise of the episode
Back To Reality is that the crew of the
Red Dwarf had actually just spent the last four years of their lives hanging out in an
Artificial Reality simulation. A video game. And they only scored 4%. What a bunch of
twonks.
The Ministry of Alteration was a shadowy organization that ran the lives of, well, everybody, back in the real world. The Ministry is led by the Voter Colonel
Sebastian Doyle (formerly known to himself as
Dave Lister). This organization's sole purpose is to change people. When Lister/Doyle asked a henchman, "Change them? How?" the man calmly explained, "You change people from being
alive people to being ...
dead people. No one has done more to purge the ballot boxes than the Voter Colonel."
Two posters containing Ministry propoganda were commented on by the crew:
Vote Fascist for a Third Glorious Decade of Total Law Enforcement and
Be a Government Informer! Betray You Family and Friends! Fabulous Prizes to Be Won!
