The plot of “White Hole” could be
best described as a perfect example of mission creep, which is when a goal or
task that is first assumed to be easy suddenly unravels into a grander conflict
with a wider scope than ever originally conceived. In this case, Holly’s showing her wear and
tear as a computer, so Kryten comes up with a complex plan to “reboot” and fix
her. At first, the plan seems to go
smoothly… that is until it goes awry, putting all of Red Dwarf at risk.
