What is Red Dwarf?
Red Dwarf is a British TV show that has been airing on the BBC since 1988.
It's a half-hour science fiction comedy that tells the story of the last
living human being and his nonhuman companions in the distant future. The
premise of the show is best summed up in the opening narration (by Holly,
the ship's computer) used in the first series:
This is an S.O.S. distress call from the mining ship Red Dwarf.
The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors
are Dave Lister, who was in suspended animation during the
disaster, and his pregnant cat, who was safely sealed in the
hold. Revived three million years later, Lister's only companions
are a life-form who evolved from his cat, and Arnold Rimmer, a
hologram simulation of one of the dead crew.
Accompanied by the Cat, Rimmer, Holly, and an android named Kryten, Lister
pursues his dream of returning to Earth and settling down with his
long-lost girlfriend. Along the way, he encounters parallel universes, time
warps, genetic mutants, holes in space, and a moon shaped like Felicity
Kendal's bottom.
The regular cast of the series is:
Dave Lister Craig Charles
Arnold Rimmer Chris Barrie
Holly Norman Lovett (Series 1, 2, 7, 8)
Hattie Hayridge (Series 3-5)
The Cat Danny John-Jules
Kryten Robert Llewellyn (Series 3-8)
Kristine Kochanski Chloe Annett (Series 7-8)
Red Dwarf is also a series of novels based on the TV show. The novels
greatly expand on, and are greatly different from, the show. Many of the
same ideas appear in the novels, but these ideas are put together in new
and interesting ways. Four novels have been published so far:
Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers
by Grant Naylor
ISBN 0-14-012437-3
Penguin, 1989
Red Dwarf: Better Than Life
by Grant Naylor
ISBN 0-14-012438-1
Penguin, 1990
Red Dwarf: Last Human
by Doug Naylor
ISBN 0-67-085255-4
Penguin, 1995
Red Dwarf: Backwards
by Robert Grant
ISBN 0-670-84574-4
Penguin, 1996
The first two novels have been reprinted in a single volume:
Red Dwarf Omnibus
by Grant Naylor
ISBN 0-14-017466-4
Penguin, 1991
This combined rerelease also contains the script for "Dave Hollins, Space
Cadet" (one of the Son of Clich=E9 sketches that started it all), a
reproduction of the beer mat on which the idea for Red Dwarf was allegedly
first written, and the original script for "The End" (the first episode of
the series).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did Red Dwarf start on radio?
Not exactly. Rob Grant and Doug Naylor wrote the short-lived radio series
Son of Clich=E9 (broadcast in two six-episode runs on BBC Radio 4 in 1984).
In an ongoing series of sketches, a space cadet named Dave Hollins was
trapped alone on a spaceship with a slightly senile computer called HAB.
(The voice of HAB was provided by Chris Barrie, the actor who plays Rimmer
in Red Dwarf.) Many of the ideas and jokes from these sketches were later
incorporated into Red Dwarf, but there is no direct connection.
The script for one of the "Dave Hollins, Space Cadet" sketches is included
in the Red Dwarf Omnibus.
Audio book versions of the Red Dwarf novels exist, and one of them
(Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, read by Chris Barrie) has been aired on
BBC radio. Sound effects were added and the recording was divided into
parts for broadcast, but the show was otherwise identical to the audio
book. The result is available for purchase as Infinity Welcomes Careful
Drivers: The Radio Show.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there an American version of Red Dwarf?
No, not really. The NBC network expressed interest in an American version
of the show and two pilots were made by Universal, but no series was ever
produced.
The first pilot was written by Linwood Boomer and filmed on 22 January 1992
at Universal City Studios in Los Angeles. The cast included the following
actors:
Dave Lister Craig Bierko
Arnold Rimmer Chris Eigeman
Holly Jane Leeves
The Cat Hinton Battle
Kryten Robert Llewellyn
Kristine Kochanski Elizabeth Morehead
First Officer Munson Michael Heintzman
Captain Tau Lorraine Toussaint
Grant Naylor served as technical consultants. Robert Llewellyn (from the
BBC cast) reprised his role as Kryten. The plot was a retelling of "The
End", with some elements of "Future Echoes" thrown in for good measure.
Some surprising and odd changes were made: Lister was transformed into a
clean-cut and well-dressed Caucasian, and the H on Rimmer's forehead was
replaced with a silver marble. (You can see a transcription of the first
pilot at http://www.crosswinds.net/~mvbeast/scripts/ams.htm.)
After this version was rejected, Grant Naylor filmed a second pilot with
the following cast:
Dave Lister Craig Bierko
Arnold Rimmer Anthony Fuscle
Holly Jane Leeves
The Cat Terry Farrell
Kryten Robert Llewellyn
The second pilot was not a complete episode, but rather a promo that
combined scenes from the first pilot, bits from the BBC series, and newly
filmed segments spotlighting the new cast members. This pilot fixed some
problems (such as restoring Rimmer's H), but had more odd changes, such as
a female Cat. (Terry Farrell went on to play Jadzia Dax on Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine.) The second pilot was also rejected, and the proposed series
was shelved indefinitely.
[Does anyone know who wrote the second pilot, or when and where it was
filmed? -- PMB]
Neither pilot has ever been aired or released on videocassette, but bootleg
copies can be found at science fiction conventions.
A redesigned Kryten suit (of somewhat better quality than the old BBC
version) was made for the U.S. pilots by Joseph Kerezman and Mike Moore of
JK2 Costumers. After the pilots were rejected, the BBC created a new Kryten
suit (based on the U.S. one) for Series 6.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is Grant Naylor?
"Grant Naylor" is the collective name used by the creative team of Rob
Grant and Doug Naylor, who created Red Dwarf, wrote and produced Series 1
through 6, and wrote (individually or as a team) all of the Red Dwarf
novels.
In 1996, Rob Grant resigned as coproducer and cowriter of the show. When
asked why, he told the Radio Times, "We wrote the pilot for the series in
1983 . . . It's been a long time and it's taken up a lot of time . . . I
thought, 'Enough's enough; I want more than just Red Dwarf on my
tombstone.'"
Grant has since written a new science fiction comedy for Sky One called The
Strangerers. The show premiered in the UK in February 2000 and chronicles
"an attempted invasion of Earth by utterly incompetent aliens". He also
wrote a special 5-part "millennium sitcom" called Dark Ages for ITV. Grant
has no plans to write any more Red Dwarf.
The "About the Author" note in the first two Red Dwarf novels has this to
say about the creator(s) of the series:
Grant Naylor is a gestalt entity occupying two bodies, one of
which lives in north London, the other in south London. The
product of a horribly botched genetic-engineering experiment,
which took place in Manchester in the late fifties, they try to
eke out two existences with only one mind. They attended the same
school and the same university, but, for tax reasons, have
completely different wives.
The first body is called Rob Grant, the second Doug Naylor. Among
other things, they spent three years in the mid-eighties as head
writers of Spitting Image; wrote Radio Four's award-winning
series Son of Cliche; penned the lyrics to a number one single;
and created and wrote Red Dwarf for BBC television.
They have made a living variously by being ice-cream salesmen,
shoe-shop assistants and by attempting to sell dodgy
life-assurance policies to close friends. They also spent almost
two years on the night shift loading paper into computer printers
at a mail-order factory in Ardwick. They can still taste the
cheese 'n' onion toasties.
Their favourite colour is orange.
Grant Naylor's number one single was "The Chicken Song," a Spitting Image
spinoff. Philip Pope composed the music and produced the record, which was
released in 1986 by Virgin Records.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does "smeg" mean?
It's a word made up by Grant Naylor for the characters to use as an
all-purpose profanity. Some fans have theorised that it was derived from
"smegma" (a particularly unpleasant bodily secretion), but Rob and Doug
deny this. In the interview on the CD included with the Six of the Best box
set, they state that "we wanted to invent a futuristic curse word which had
the right sort of consonant and vowel arrangement to make it sound like a
genuine . . . curse word." In an online chat session, Doug Naylor said "I
think it's Latin for clean, also there's an Italian washing machine company
called Smeg. Also each of the letters S-M-E-G stand for smelting metal and
something to do with the washing machine process." A detailed list of
"smeg" references in the show is available at
http://www.bristol.u-net.com/smegweb/docs/smeglist.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does "LEVEL NIVELO" mean?
Red Dwarf is a bilingual ship, with English and Esperanto as the two
official languages. "Nivelo" is the Esperanto word for "level". The signs
in the corridors of the ship simply indicate (in both languages) what level
you're on.
Esperanto is a real language, developed in the the 1880s by Polish
ophthalmologist L.L. Zamenhof. The episode "Kryten" establishes that
Lister, Holly, and Kryten all speak at least some Esperanto. Rimmer doesn't
seem to have mastered the language yet; he's shown trying to learn it from
a videotape without much success.
The name "Esperanto" means "one who hopes," a fact that is alluded to in
"Back to Reality." (It's a blatant clue, innit?) If you would like to know
more about the language, http://www.esperanto.net is a good place to start.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is "vindaloo"?
A very, very hot Indian curry dish that happens to be Lister's favorite
food. Vindaloo can contain almost any sort of meat, so there are references
to "mutton vindaloo," "chicken vindaloo," etc., in various episodes of the
show.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the other foods mentioned on the show?
Denis Cage has compiled the Red Dwarf Food and Drink Guide, an extensive
guide to every dish and beverage mentioned on the show or in the novels.
You can find the Guide at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/6061/.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aren't there a lot of inconsistencies in Red Dwarf?
Many viewers have noticed that the details don't always match between one
episode and another. The subject even comes up on the "Smeg Ups" tape when
Kryten reads the Most Asked Questions About Red Dwarf, most of which have
to do with one inconsistency or another. Annette McIntosh and Damone have
compiled an exhaustive list of inconsistencies and contradictions within
the TV series. This document is called the Red Dwarf Plot Inconsistencies
Project (PIP) and can be found at
http://www.ecr.mu.oz.au/~bjev/pip/pip_text.html.
Annette McIntosh maintains a similar document, the Red Dwarf Book Plot
Inconsistencies Project (BPIP), which lists inconsistencies within the
series of Red Dwarf novels:
http://www.cobalt.demon.co.uk/alt.tv.red-dwarf/bpip.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did Holly become female? Why did Kryten change?
The original actor to play Holly, Norman Lovett, left the series after a
dispute over his salary. In an interview with Red Dwarf Smegazine (issue 9,
November 1992), Lovett said that he asked to be paid the same as the other
actors on the series, but his request was turned down. Hattie Hayridge had
appeared in "Parallel Universe" as Hilly, Holly's female counterpart. "When
Norman said he wasn't doing another series, I auditioned," she recalls. The
character of Holly kept the same name and personality despite the
recasting.
Kryten's original actor, David Ross, wasn't available to commit to a series
when Grant Naylor decided to make Kryten a continuing character, so he was
replaced by Robert Llewellyn. (Ross later returned in "White Hole" as the
new voice of Talkie Toaster.) There were also several changes in the show's
look between Series Two and Three, including changes in costumes, sets, and
miniatures, particularly the addition of the Starbug and its hangar bay.
Most of these changes are more or less explained by the following words
that scroll rapidly up the screen at the beginning of "Backwards":
Three million years in the future, Dave Lister, the last human
being alive, discovers he is pregnant after a liaison with his
female self in a parallel universe. His pregnancy concludes with
the successful delivery of twin boys, Jim and Bexley. However,
because the boys were conceived in another universe, with
different physical laws, they suffer from highly accelerated
growth rates and are both eighteen years old within three days of
being born. In order to save their lives, Lister returns them to
the universe of their origin, where they are reunited with their
father (a woman), and are able to lead comparatively normal
lives. Well, as normal as you can be if you've been born in a
parallel universe and your father's a woman and your mother's a
man and you're eighteen years old three days after your birth.
Shortly afterward, Kryten, the service mechanoid, who had left
the ship after being rescued from his own crashed vessel, the
Nova 5, is found in pieces after his space bike crashed into an
asteroid. Lister rebuilds the 'noid, but is unable to recapture
his former personality. Meanwhile, Holly, the increasingly
erratic computer, performs a head sex change operation on
himself. He bases his new face on Hilly, a female computer with
whom he'd once fallen madly in love.
It is possible to read all this, if you have a VCR with good freeze-frame
capabilities. Try it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happened to the Red Dwarf and Holly?
Throughout Series 6 and 7, the characters travel aboard Starbug; the Red
Dwarf and Holly don't appear at all. This tends to confuse viewers who
missed the explanation in "Psirens".
Briefly, what happened is this: Lister parked the Red Dwarf in orbit around
a planetoid, and then forgot which planetoid it was. "They're all the same,
those little blue-green planetoids. Blue-green and planetoidy."
Subsequently, Red Dwarf was stolen "by persons or lifeforms unknown."
Starbug followed the ship's vapor trail for over 200 years, with Lister and
the Cat in deep sleep and Rimmer switched off to conserve power. At the
first opportunity to actually catch up with Red Dwarf, Kryten revives the
others, and the saga continued . . .
The real reason for the change was to eliminate Holly from the show.
According to Hattie Hayridge, the parts for both Holly and the Cat had been
getting smaller. Grant Naylor decided to drop one of the characters and
expand the other. It was easier to drop Holly because many of her lines
could be given to Kryten instead.
In "Nanarchy," Starbug finally catches up to Red Dwarf, and Norman Lovett
returns to the show as Holly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the title of the last episode of Series 2?
"Parallel Universe," according to the Radio Times and the BBC videotape. No
title was given in the episode, which began with a musical number instead
of the usual titles sequence. The title does appear on screen in the BBC
videotape (and is on the label as well).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are they really saying in "Backwards"?
Most of the reversed dialogue in the episode "Backwards" is pretty much
either what the subtitles say it is or what you'd expect from context; some
of it actually appears to be random noise. There are two notable
exceptions, however.
When Lister and the Cat steal a bicycle, its owner yells after them, "You
scoundrels! Return my bike immediately!" -- at least, according to the
subtitles. What he actually says, however, is, "Oi! Hey! Oi, you robbing
bastards, that's our tandem!"
Later, when the stage manager comes in to yell at Rimmer and Kryten, he
appears to be blaming them for starting the fight. Here's what he actually
says:
You are a stupid, square-headed, bald git, aren't you? Eh? I'm
pointing at you, I'm pointing at you. But I'm not actually
addressing you. I'm addressing the one prat in the country who's
bothered to get hold of this recording, turn it round, and
actually work out the rubbish that I'm saying. What a poor, sad
life he's got! . . . Frankly, your act's crap. Anyway, anybody
could have done it. I hate the lot of you. Bollocks to you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's in canister 1121?
According to the Red Dwarf Quiz Book, it's the remains of Kristine
Kochanski. When Lister comes back to life on the backwards Earth, he
discovers that he's married to an elderly version of Kochanski. Presumably,
treating the canister with gamma and X rays was part of Holly's plan for
restoring her to life along with Lister. (If none of this makes any sense
to you, you haven't read the ending of the novel Better Than Life.)
The original script for "The End" included a scene (cut from the final
version) in which Lister placed the powdered remains of each crewmember in
a separate canister and ejected them all into space (and this is done with
George McIntyre's remains in the aired version). It's reasonable to
conclude that Lister did this, although nothing is said about it in either
the episode or the novel. The number of canisters floating in space
("something in the region of ten thousand") is consistent with the size of
the crew given in Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers ("eleven thousand, one
hundred and sixty-nine").
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who played Baby Lister in "Ouroboros"?
Alexander John-Jules, Danny's nephew. When asked about this, Danny said:
"When we saw the baby who was supposed to be playing Lister, we all
realised that he was too dark to be a believable Lister, so I said 'My
nephew looks a lot like Lister,' and that's how he got the job."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the Space Corps Directives?
Charles Daniels has collected all of the SCDs, Rimmer Directives, and All
Nations Agreements into a comprehensive list:
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/6122/directiv.htm
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there aliens in Red Dwarf?
No. One of the premises of the show is that life never evolved anywhere in
the universe except on Earth. All of the creatures encountered by Red
Dwarf's crew -- GELFs, simulants, space weevils, polymorphs, you name it --
are descended from life forms that originated on Earth. For an in-depth
discussion of this issue, refer to Annette Mcintosh's No Aliens FAQ at
http://skynet.ul.ie/~colm/red/noaliens.html.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the lyrics of the theme song?
The theme song was composed by Howard Goodall and sung by Jenna Russell.
The words are:
It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone, more or less
Let me fly far away from here
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh mango juice
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
There has been much debate over the "goldfish" line -- it isn't sung very
clearly, and some fans think they hear "Goldfish are nibbling." But Kryten
recites the lyrics in the "Smeg Ups" video, and they are as listed above.
(A "shoal" is a school of fish.)
An "extended mix" version of the song has been released on several
soundtrack compilation CDs:
* Between the Lines, a collection of BBC themes
* The Cult Files, a collection of science fiction themes
* Stellar Themes, which has been given away as a subscription premium
for the magazine Sci-Fi Universe
The extended version includes two extra verses written by percussionist Ian
Hu (who apparently is not connected with Red Dwarf). The additional verses
are as follows:
I'll pack my bags and head into hyperspace
Where I'll succeed at time-warp speed
Spend my days in ultraviolet rays
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
We'll lock on course straight through the universe
You and me and the galaxy
Reach the stage where hyperdrive's engaged
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the lyrics of "Tongue Tied"?
"Parallel Universe" begins with a musical number that turns out to be one
of the Cat's dreams. The studio audience's laughter makes the lyrics a
little hard to understand, but here's what they appear to be:
The Cat: Lister and Rimmer:
When I saw you for the first time (first time)
My knees began to quiver (quiver)
And I got a funny feeling (feeling)
In my kidneys and my liver (digestive system baby)
My hands they started shakin' (shakin')
My heart began a-thumpin' (boom boom boom)
My breakfast left my body (huey huey huey)
It all really tells me something
Girl you make me tongue tied (tongue tied)
Tongue tied, whenever you are near me (near me)
Tied tongue (tied tongue)
Tied tongue (tied tongue)
Whenever you're in town
I saw you 'cross the dance floor (dancin')
I thought of birds and bees (reproductive system baby)
And when I tried to speak to ya (talk talk)
My tongue unraveled to my knees (flippety-flippety-flop)
I tried to say I love you (love you)
But it came out kind of wrong, girl (wrong girl)
It sounded like "Nunubididoo" (tongue tied)
Nuh mur nuh murh ni nong nurl
'Cause you make me tongue tied (tongue tied)
Tongue tied, whenever you are near me (near me)
Be-dobby-durgle (dobby-durgle)
Tongue tied (tongue tied)
Whenever you're around
Oh I'm beggin' on my knees
Sweet, sweet darling, listen please
Understand me when I say
Bedurble-diggle-doggle-dooby-doggle-durgle-day
I'm trying to say nungy-nangy (nangy-nungy)
Ningy-nongy, why can't I tell you clearly (clearly)
Be-dobby-durgle (dobby-durgle)
Durgle-dobby (durgle-dobby)
Whenever you're around (around)
Whenever you're around (around)
In the fall of 1993, "Tongue Tied" was released as a single in England and
rose to #17 on the CIN Official UK Singles Chart. The artist was listed
simply as "The Cat." A music video of "Tongue Tied" was reportedly shown on
the Top of the Pops show in England and on MTV in the States. Copies of the
video (and a half-hour program on the making of the video) are available
from John McElroy. An alternative version of the video can be found on the
"Smeg Outs" videotape.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the lyrics of the Rimmer Munchkin Song?
The song from The Rimmer Experience at the end of "Blue" has the following
words:
If you're in trouble, he will save the day
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may
Without him, the mission would go astray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
Without him, life would be much grimmer
He's handsome, trim, and no one's slimmer
He will never need a Zimmer
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
More reliable than a garden Strimmer
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer
Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of space directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
He's also a fantastic swimmer
And if you play your cards right, then he just might come round
for dinner
[Xtended version only:]
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
No rhymes left now apart from quimmer
We hope they fade us out before we get to schwimmer
Fade out you stupid plimmer
The final verse is heard only in the longer version of the song included in
the "Red Dwarf VII Xtended" video.
"Zimmer" is short for Zimmerframe, a walking frame for elderly or disabled
people. It's mentioned in "Emohawk: Polymorph II" when Lister emphasises
the slowness of Starbug by saying "Kryten, the Eastbourne Zimmerframe relay
team could easily outrun us."
"Strimmer" is U.K. slang for a weed trimmer that uses a spinning length of
monofilament line. (In the U.S., it would be called a "weed eater" or "weed
whacker".)
Yul Brynner was the actor best known for playing King Mongkut of Siam in
The King and I, a role for which he shaved his head.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was Red Dwarf remastered?
Yes, it was. Series 1-3 received a Star Wars-style makeover in 1998 to
update the visuals and make the show more consistent. (Remastering of
Series 4-6 is expected at some point in the future.) Doug Naylor explained:
We're basically remastering the whole of the first six series for
BBC Worldwide (the video company) who feel that they would be
able to sell it more easily in Europe and America if there was a
more unified look and feel to the whole of the series. What this
means is . . . consistent opening titles; it means that in places
we can replace and improve the model shots.
The remastering project included the following changes:
* The soundtrack was replaced with a new digital master.
* Most of the special effects shots were scrapped and re-filmed.
Computer-generated graphics replaced some of the model shots.
* Red Dwarf has a slightly different look (more elongated and detailed).
* Blue Midget (the smaller vessel used in Series 1-3) has a radically
different look: it has legs (like Starbug's) that give it a spidery
appearance, but Blue Midget can actually walk on them. (The new and
improved Blue Midget plays a major role in Series 8.)
* All of Norman Lovett's Holly footage from Series 1 and 2 was
re-filmed.
* A consistent set of opening titles is used in all episodes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What was "Red Dwarf Night"?
Saturday, 14 February 1998, was the tenth anniversary of the first airing
of "The End." To celebrate, BBC 2 aired a special night of Red
Dwarf-related programming hosted by Patrick Stewart:
* "Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg": A special edition of the BBC show "Can't
Cook, Won't Cook," featuring the Red Dwarf cast.
* Red Dwarf Smeg Ups: A selection from the "Smeg Ups" and "Smeg Outs"
videos, with new introductions.
* "Universe Challenge": A special fans-versus-cast version of the BBC
quiz show University Challenge, hosted by Bamber Gascgoigne. (The fans
won.)
* "Red Dwarf A to Z": A clip from the show for every letter in the
alphabet, introduced by various celebrities. "R" (for Remastered) was
a sample the Red Dwarf Special Edition, with the new Blue Midget.
* "Gunmen of the Apocalypse": The classic episode.
"Red Dwarf Night" has not been released on videocassette, but some video
bootleggers have tapes of it. Try the Dealers' Room at any sizable science
fiction convention.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in Series 8?
Series 8 has the following notable characteristics:
* Like Series 7, it has eight episodes. (For titles, see "Is there an
episode guide for Red Dwarf?")
* The scripts are by Doug Naylor and Paul Alexander.
* The entire cast returned for all eight episodes, including Chris
Barrie, Chloe Annett, and Norman Lovett.
* Blue Midget has a new look (see "Is Red Dwarf being remastered?").
* Some portions of Series 8 were recorded with a live audience.
* The nanobots have not only recreated Red Dwarf, they have also
populated the ship with its old crew (including the original
non-hologram version of Rimmer, but not the original Kochanski).
* Mac McDonald returns as Captain Hollister. Crew members Selby and Chen
are played by Paul Bradley and David Gillespie.
* The skutters also return. In fact, new skutter models were built for
Series 8.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is a Red Dwarf movie in the works?
Yes, at least one. With Series 8 out of the way, Doug Naylor should be
starting work on the script sometime soon. The movie has a budget of 15
million pounds. Ed Bye will direct. Robert Llewellyn writes: "The
situation, as far as I know, is that we are shooting the movie in the
spring of 2000 for release in 2001. It will be shot in the UK and feature
the original cast, plus some 'names' from America in special guest roles."
If the first film does well, others will likely be made.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will there be a Series 9?
Possibly. Robert Llewellyn writes: "As for the hundreds of e-mails I've had
asking if there's going to be a series IX (9) all I can say is the BBC are
very keen for there to be one. Only yesterday I heard it from the woman who
is the head of the Independent commissioning group, it's down to the
wonderfully talented Mr Doug Naylor to sit down and write them. But he's
about to start writing Red Dwarf, The Movie. So who knows!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happened to Rimmer? How is Kochanski alive, and why does she look
different?
In Series 7, schedule conflicts made it impossible to film more than four
episodes with both Craig Charles and Chris Barrie. Since Lister is the
central character of the show, the decision was made to do four episodes
without Rimmer. Rimmer appears as usual in "Tikka to Ride," departs in
"Stoke Me a Clipper," and appears in "Ouroboros" and "Blue" only as a
flashback or a virtual reality simulation. However, the character returns
in Series 8.
The original Kristine Kochanski, played by C.P. Grogan, is still dead. The
Kochanski played by Chloe Annett is from a parallel universe -- one in
which she, not Lister, was put in stasis for hiding a cat from the Captain.
She joined the crew in "OUROBOROS", at which point the character was
recast.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where can I see Red Dwarf in the United States?
Red Dwarf is seen on public television stations across the country. If your
local PBS station doesn't show it, write to them, and convince your friends
to write to them, until they do! Series 1-8 are available for purchase by
PBS member stations.
If you don't know whether Red Dwarf is currently being shown in your area,
check the listings in TV Guide or your local newspaper. To find out whether
your local PBS station is planning to carry Red Dwarf in the future,
contact them directly. Use the PBS Web site at http://www.pbs.org/stations

been released in the U.K. This video includes the original uncut versions
of "Tikka to Ride," "Ouroboros," and "Duct Soup," plus some outtakes from
Series 7 and a longer version of the Rimmer Munchkin Song from "Blue."
A video of "Tongue-Tied" (the song from "Parallel Universe," re-staged and

What are the "Smeg Ups" and "Smeg Outs" tapes?
"Red Dwarf Smeg Ups" is a 51-minute videotape (available from the same
sources as the series videotapes) containing bloopers from Series 5 and 6,
with commentary from Robert Llewellyn as Kryten. The tape also includes the
unused ending from "Out of Time" and a sort of FAQ list in which Kryten
attempts to answer the ten most asked questions about the show. "Red Dwarf
Smeg Outs" is a similar collection of material from Series 1-3 (and even
from "Smeg Ups"!), and also includes a music video version of "Tongue Tied"
that mixes "Parallel Universe" footage with clay animation.
Note: Due to a nationwide change in British telephone codes, the phone
numbers given in "Smeg Ups" for ordering merchandise are incorrect. One of
the addresses has also changed since "Smeg Ups" was recorded. For the

Are there books about Red Dwarf?
Numerous Red Dwarf reference works are available:
The Official Red Dwarf Companion
by Bruce Dessau
ISBN 1-85286-456-7
Titan, 1995
This thin little book (95 pages) has a lot of wasted space, but some
interesting quotes and information and some wonderful color photos
throughout. If you're looking for in-depth, solid information about the
show, this isn't where you'll find it; but if you want a nice, light read,
a collector's item, and an attractive coffee-table book, this is it. Listed
as available on http://www.amazon.co.uk, but at least one fan was told it
was out of print.
Red Dwarf Programme Guide
by Chris Howarth and Steve Lyons
ISBN 0-7535-0103-1
Virgin, 1997
"Everything you never wanted to know about the smash smega-series." An
in-depth collection (337 pages) of information about Series 1-7. It
includes sections on History, The Characters, The Programmes, The Index,
The Creators (cast and production crew), and The Spin-offs. The Index, by
far the largest section of the book, is a lexicon of almost everything
mentioned to during the series, from "A to Z of Red Dwarf, The" to "Zoom
function".
Red Dwarf--Primordial Soup: The Least Worst Scripts
by Grant Naylor
ISBN 0-14-017886-4
Penguin, 1993
This book contains the complete scripts for "Polymorph," "Marooned,"
"Dimension Jump," "Justice," "Back to Reality," and "Psirens." Not
published in the U.S., but available from John McElroy and other
distributors of imported books.
Red Dwarf: Son of Soup
by Grant Naylor
ISBN 0-14-025363-7
Penguin, 1996
A sequel to Primordial Soup, containing scripts for "Gunmen of the
Apocalypse," "Holoship," "Camille," "Backwards," "Kryten," and "Me^2," with
introductions by Rob Grant.
The Man in the Rubber Mask
by Robert Llewellyn
ISBN 0-14-023575-2
Penguin, 1994
Describes Llewellyn's involvement in Red Dwarf from the beginning of Series
3 through the filming of the American pilots. Plenty of anecdotes and
stories, and lots of trivia. The section on the American pilots is
especially revealing, and gives some plausible reasons why the whole
project fell through.
The Making of Red Dwarf
by Joe Nazzaro
ISBN 0-14-023206-0
Penguin, 1994
A rather slender book with lots of colour photographs. Focuses on the
making of "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse". The book goes into a fair amount of
detail, but nothing that couldn't have been gleaned from a half-dozen back
issues of the now-defunct Smegazine. The book's main strength is the added
material: some great photos, fragments of the original "Gunmen" script
(mostly stage directions, but also one unfilmed scene) and storyboards used
in the filming. The back of the book contains information on how you can
purchase Red Dwarf paraphernalia such as t-shirts, baseball caps, and
models of Starbug and Kryten.
Red Dwarf Quiz Book
by Nicky Hooks and Sharon Burnett
ISBN 0-14-023662-7
Penguin, 1994
Red Dwarf trivia and brain-teasers. Contains questions such as "What was
referred to as a small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden?",
crosswords, word searches, "who said . . .", information about the cast,
and photos. After a while, though, you have to wonder about the mind of
someone who can come up with questions such as "What follows the leaflet
campaign?" or "What was in canister 1121?"
A Question of Smeg
by Sharon Burnett and Nicky Hooks
ISBN 0-140-27070-1
Penguin, 1997
Sequel to the Quiz Book. Contains puzzles, quiz questions, and colour
photographs.
Red Dwarf Space Corps Survival Manual
by Paul Alexander
ISBN 0-7493-2374-4
Mandarin, 1996
A survival guide for Space Corps officers, written by fictional Marine
Colonel Mike "Mad Dog" O'Hagan (who served with the Space Corps Special
Service Really Really Brave Division). Has sections on finding food and
water, setting traps and snares, appointing a leader, survival psychology,
first aid, and even surviving death. Includes numerous marginal notes and
comments scribbled by the Lister, Rimmer, Kryten, and the Cat, a survival
questionnaire filled out by each crewmember, and a flicker-book animation
(of an arm being amputated) in a corner of the pages. Pictures from Series
7 appears as snapshots "taped" into the book. Quite funny, if a little
fixated on cannibalism (or, as Col. O'Hagan prefers to call it,
"recipe-based respect for the dead"). 112 pages.
Red Dwarf Log No. 1996
by Paul Alexander
ISBN 0-434-00370-0
William Heineman Ltd, 1995
A 1996 diary with a few extras. Computerised entries by the four

written on it

Containing Craig Charles's tips on how to survive in the hostile
Universe that is Life.
