I found the movie from Holoship

[Captain Bollocks]

I was recently reading one of those ten-a-penny blogs about crap old entertainment, which in turn led to skimming through episodes of various variety and game shows from the 90s. I was about to call my lawyer, but then something happened which made me laugh, namely hearing this piece of stock music at 3:45: https://youtu.be/QDkjtK2cW-s?t=225

It is therefore my expert opinion that this is the (colourised version of the) film the lads watch in Starbug, and that perennial Yewtree dodger Freddie Starr, who once infamously ate a space weevil or something, can be considered as much Red Dwarf canon as Cassandra’s dad and that bloke out of Rising Damp. Maybe.

Red Dwarf had the music first, get that lawyer on the blower.

Here’s an amusing little coincidence. The music from the soppy romantic film Lister’s watching in Confidence and Paranoia can be heard in this episode of Spatz, 23 minutes in, just as Chloë Annett enters the scene.

That’s brilliant, clem!
