Into the Toasterverse Features Posted by Ian Symes on 22nd October 2025, 12:31 Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? From November 2000 until February 2022, Red Dwarf's official website would be updated every single Friday (barring Christmas holidays) without fail. Over twenty years of weekly updates, bringing us the latest news on new episodes, home media releases, merchandise and cast/crew projects. And whenever there wasn't a great deal to report on, they'd simply churn out some of the best fan writing Red Dwarf has ever had. Over the years, editors Andrew Ellard, Seb Patrick and Curtis Threadgold wrote countless features, covering behind-the-scenes history, analysis and commentary on the show's themes, and deep dives into niche rabbit holes.

“Things are up and running” News Posted by Jonathan Capps on 19th January 2009, 21:08 Just a quick update to bring you this nice little post made by Andrew Ellard on the TOS WebBoard, who today took his place on the new production team for the specials. I moved into my office on the new Red Dwarf production. It is number 13. The schedule includes not one but TWO Friday the 13ths. I choose not to be superstitious. Since we have a very cool story to tell. Expect updates on the site in the next week or two now things are up and running, as opposed to 'roughly planned'. Andrew News coming soon, everyone, SO STOP COMPLAINING. Read more →
Doctors: Donations Reviews Posted by Ian Symes and John Hoare on 22nd April 2003, 23:00 We don't normally watch Doctors, due to actually having things to do during the day, even if we don't do them. However, we did see an episode on UK Gold on Monday night, as research for the following day's episode. So you can rest easy in the knowledge that our opinions are informed. Read more →
