Well, I haven’t actually done anything to the website this week. This is an announcement that the follow up to the incredibly in-depth Series I DVD Review will be up at about 18:05 GMT on Monday. If this doesn’t come off, I’ll look pretty stupid. Those guys on the left will be here. Possibly.

A mere 16 days to go until the Series II DVD is released, and we’re still getting very exciting news through about the extras. The official site has a list of the deleted scenes . They sound brilliant, and I am now pants-wettingly excited about the DVD.

I managed to regain my composure in time to write the Balance of Power capsule . I’ve also written an article for the recently re-launched Back in the Red . I suggest you have a goosey.

Two updates in as many weeks. You lucky, lucky people. If you look to your left, you will see the Series II bunkroom menu. Nice, isn’t it? The drive room menu is another matter, but more about that on the 10th February.

This week I’ve been working hard on the capsules, with The End and Future Echoes being completely finished and a new index system. I’ve also corrected an embarrassing mistake on the commentary page. Thanks to moss for his pedantry skills.

Hello! Apologies for the lack of updates recently. I am a lazy fucker. Still, never to mind. All the archived DVD news can be found over at the official site. They still don’t have a DVD review as good as my one though.

In other news, I have written a companion to the Drunk featurette, given a list ofCast Commentary Corrections and written three mini-reviews.

I’d like to recommend two excellent sites. Firstly, my good pal Moss has written a companion to the model shots from the Series I DVD. It’s brilliant and has some great screen-grabs. Secondly, premiere Red Dwarf site Groovetown is continuing to go from strength to strength. It’s the best place around for news on Red Dwarf stars and what they’re up to now.

Just to even the balance, I thought I'd provide a positive review of a vaguely Red Dwarf-related product. The Very Best of Have I Got News For You features Red Dwarf alumni such as Tony Slattery, Arthur Smith, Craig Ferguson, Tony Hawks, and of course Hattie Hayridge and Craig Charles.
