Still doesn’t beat the old American Netflix synopsis of Epideme, something to the effect of “After being seduced by a corpse, Lister contracts a deadly STD.”

I was going to make a post about this a while ago, but I forgot. It is an odd one, isn’t it? I mean, did the description guy just not watch the episode before writing it?
