    So, we’ve had a mini Starbug and Skutter in the past… what do we want for BtE?

    I’m sure most people would like to see a Mini Carbug accompany the set (myself included), but how about a replica of something? Replica anything is good in my book, as long as the quality is high.

    So, polaroids from the bunkroom, perhaps? Folded London Jets/Mugs Murphy poster? Postcard from listerscominghome.co.uk?

    a signed script, just to annoy the people who made the scutter cgi :)

    Kryten’s postcard from the broom cupboard would be nice.

    A model of the new Dwarf would be nice.

    Dear Norm:

    I’m about to be as respectful of your career as you’ve been of everyone else’s.

    Love Doug.

    We might get the TOO WEIRD FOR WORDS poster as seen in part 2.

    > A london jets or a mugs murphy t-shirt needs to be made. Somehow.

    Yes. I would absolutely love a Mugs Murphy t-shirt.

    Do people want the DVD cover art to look like it did in Back to Earth? Looked a bit dull to me, to be honest. Would something similar to the 8 series DVDs be inappropriate? Lister painting the Rovers Return?

    Reversible cover would be nice. One side could be the “as seen on TV” version, and the other could be a nicer, more interesting design. The best of both worlds.

    Or the diving bell, or the new bunk room.

    HA! That’s brilliant.

    The reversible cover is a great idea – one side to match the cover in BtE and one to coordinate with the rest of the RD DVDs, please.

    Thing is though, the packaging as-seen-in-BtE was a slipcased digipak, rather than a standard amaray case. If you want screen-accuracy, a reversable cover won’t do :)

    [Maybe they could do a packaging variant – exclusive to play.com or somesuch – and eke out a few more sales that way…]

    I liked the design of the one in the episode. It’s big, basic, black cardboardy goodness makes it look special (and it is) and if I hadn’t seen Red Dwarf before, I would definitely be intrigued by the box if I saw it in an HMV or whatever.

    The amount of uneeded detail on it, and the fact it has a cardboard case when all the others are standard, also seems to suggest that this will be the design. Why else design it like that when it would’ve been much easier to just replace a sleeve on a DVD? However the cover (WITH all the unreadable writing at the bottom) seems to be exactly the same as what would be under both discs, which is odd and makes me doubt it a bit.

    I don’t think it needs to be the same as the rest but have no problem if it is.

    They could always make Diffrent versions of the DVD Cover.

    It looks like a cheaply made prop to me – the images behind the disc holders are the same as the cover, you can see from the second image above that it’s shoddily built and flimsy as hell.

    It’s a prop.

    And as Andrew has said in the past, “it depends what case deal we are given”.

    Just tried blowing it up to 800×600, but it looked very blocky and low-res. :-(
