A full episode of Red Dwarf has been recorded in front of a studio audience for the third time in as many weeks. G&T weren't there, and it's a combination of those two facts that has lead us to do things a little differently this time. We've already covered virtually everything we're allowed to talk about in terms of specific details, and we can assume that if things were set up in a certain way for the first two weeks, then they'll be the same in the third week.

But fear not, because we had some top secret special agents in the audience, namely Jo Sharples and Shelley Smith, both of The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club. We sent them a few questions, and they were kind enough to jot down their observations and opinions. So allow them to be your guides as we document their experiences of the first of twelve new episodes...
