Dave’s Red Dwarf Weekends: VIII Edits Features Posted by John Hoare on 10th September 2012, 10:48 For many years, I have sat perched on the edge of my chair, bitching about UKTV and Red Dwarf edits. About how pointless they are, about how they show no respect for the show, about how they often cut out the funniest moments of the episode. But whenever it came to documenting them, it seemed an insurmountable task. Well, with Dave showing each series in the run-up to Red Dwarf X, it's pretty much now or never. So, in the sprit of my recent I'm Alan Partridge Series 2 dissection, here is a list of every edit made to Red Dwarf VIII, as shown on Dave pre-watershed on Saturday 8th September. Whilst reading this article, you may wish to ponder this dichotomy: how can a channel care so much about Red Dwarf to commission a new series, and yet give its repeats so little respect? Read more →

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? Read more →
John’s Newsround – 30/9/06 News Posted by John Hoare on 30th September 2006, 06:45 Here's an interesting fact. Did you know that reddwarf.co.uk was registered before August 1996 - that is, before Nominet, the current .uk registrar, was even formed?
