The Dog.

[Ben Kirkham]

It struck me recently that when people talk about ‘Parallel Universe,’ there’s very little discussion about the Dog. Can we rectify this please?

The Gregson-Lister amicable nod is the correct way to acknowledge someone you know and/or don’t know.

Because Lister’s pregnant dog – who I assume was a dachshund called Frankenfurter – was a good boy, that’s how. Can’t believe I’m seeing such disrespect for the mother/father of all canis sapiens.

I’ve always liked the idea in the Talkie Toaster interview with Arlene Rimmer that Lister’s dog was named Dracula.

Along with Drake Hollister, Drake Todhunter, Rimmer’s Aunt Drake, Rimmer’s Sister Drake, Cowgirl Drake, Drake from the Pub, and Drake the Washing Machine, of course.

So the pointy breasts were Kryten’s fantasising after all. Dirty get.

Timewave would be an interesting episode in the parallel universe. Women walking around in plaid shirts and pixie cuts and various other offensive lesbian-adjacent-but-not-outright-stating-it stereotypes?

I think the nature of Parallel Universe is more that Deb, Arlene, Dog, and Kryten (?) would be turning their noses up at Ziggy Bricewoman wearing such a ridiculous pink dress.

Yeah but you forgot the bigotry. Those strong queerphobic undertones are what really define the episode
