Complete Guide updated! Quickies Posted by Ian Symes on 8th April 2018, 13:26 It’s been nearly three years since we launched our Complete Guide To Almost Everything, the G&T equivalent of an old-fashioned episode guide but with loads of extra, obscure stuff included too.

The G&T Review of the Year 2017 Features Posted by Ian Symes on 25th December 2017, 15:00 We're simply having the most wonderful Christmas time of the year, and since we've no place to go, why did we combine three separate Christmas songs into one though? The highlight of the festive season is, of course, G&T's now traditional look back on the Dwarfing year that was, and there was certainly plenty to keep us busy in 2017. Twelve months ago, there were only 67 episodes of Red Dwarf, one mobile game, and only one page worth of "ideas for episodes" in our forum. With only seven days to go until we enter the show's thirtieth anniversary year, let's pause to recap the twenty-ninth anniversary year. Read more →
What’s going on with the Red Dwarf mobile game? News Posted by Jonathan Capps on 16th August 2017, 19:09 Anyone who’s been playing GameDigits’ episodic installments of their Red Dwarf XI mobile game are probably starting to wonder where the Krysis episode might be. At the time of writing it’s been around four and a half months since Officer Rimmer released and given episodes prior to this were put out roughly two months apart, and with Series XII rapidly approaching, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the entire thing might’ve been dropped. Well, according to a Tweet from the official GameDigits account, there’s nothing much to fear. The Red Dwarf XI game still lives but will be on hold while work moves over to a new, free, Red Dwarf XII game. Continue reading →
End of Part One, Red Dwarf XI Edition Features Posted by John Hoare on 6th August 2017, 06:00 Back in 2016, I took a look at the placing of ad breaks in Red Dwarf X, and how so many of them were a wasted opportunity to use the opportunity for a cliffhanger to its maximum effect. (I highly suggest you read that piece before this one if you haven't done so; otherwise, this article will come across as entirely ridiculous rather than just mostly ridiculous.) With publicity for Red Dwarf XII about to kick off properly, it's time to tie up one last loose thread from Red Dwarf XI. How did XI fare when it came to ad breaks? Did they seem like an afterthought, like much of X? Or was the chance taken to actually do something with them - to add a lovely punctuation point to the episode, and make viewers want to come back after the break? I'll be honest... the answer surprised me. Let's take a look. Read more →
