We all want Dwarf t-shirts. I'm still desperate for a London Jets one, and one day, I may go down to a t-shirt shop and make one for myself. I don't see anything wrong with that, because it's not making me any money, and I know that I'd buy an official one if such a thing existed.

But making money from Cafe Press by selling unofficial merch? Fuck off. Hell, if they were making the shirts themselves, they'd still be exploiting someone else's creativity, but at least they'd be putting some effort in. But this is making money off Dwarf's popularity by putting no effort in whatsoever. Just... no.

And if you're going to do it, at least (a) get the font vaguely correct, and (b) learn how to spell "chameleonic".

Once again, a user on Youtube has shown us the way.

P.s. Stop bad mouthing series 8, it added a great new twist onto red dwarf ans allowed for the pete episodes and the back on red trilogy, how can you diss them? if you wana diss it just thing, how many other sitcoms had a better last line than "only the good die young" after Rimmer kicks death in the balls?

Well, that's told me. Ah, where would we be without them?

Well, now you know! The clip is taken from a brief trailer for a new 6Music show, counting down YOUR top 40 favourite covers. Great.

Although, the fact he recorded such a short piece suggests to me that he's actually been in to the 6Music studios for an interview recently, and we've gone and missed it. Still, at least you know what his favourite cover version is! Thank God for us, yeah?

Oh, suit yourselves.

Or: I don't.

Something did occur to me today, though. We all know of a certain kind of sitcom episode - One Foot In The Grave's The Trial, where Victor mopes around the house waiting for an entire half-hour, or Porridge's A Night In, consisting almost entirely of Fletch and Godber in their cell. In other words: those delicious one or two handers, often in real time. And it's no coincidence that the two episodes I mention above are considered to be some of the best of each series. See also: Marooned.

So: why didn't they do one for VIII? Just Lister and Rimmer, in their cell?
