  1. 1Smeg Ups7 Nov 1994 · 30mKryten, the 4,000 series sanitation mechanoid takes you on a journey into a dimension of fluffs, bloopers, hitches and smeg ups that lead to one inevitable response: "cut"!
  2. 2Smeg Outs6 Nov 1995 · 30mThe hilarious sequel to Smeg Ups. In Space No-One Can Hear You Scream "Cut"! Join Kryten and Lister as they take you on a journey into a plane of reality no humanoid has previously been allowed to see, a dimension of cosmic cock-ups and ballistic blunders where no-one can remember their lines and nothing goes right - ever.
  3. 3Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg14 Feb 1998 · 30mThe crew of Starbug is transported to the Can't Cook, Won't Cook studio to see who can cook a better vindaloo. It's Lister and Kryten v. Rimmer and Cat. Well it should have been Cat, but he was worried he would mess up his suit (really he just didn't want to work with Rimmer), so Duane Dibbley took his place. This left Kochanski as the taster (God help her). It's not her fault, she lost the "ippy-dippy"! The show was total, hillarious chaos. Ainsley Harriott (now known as AH – which has a completley different meaning) was run all over the place.
  4. 6The Smeg Ups14 Feb 1998 · 30mPart 2 of the celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Red Dwarf. Host by Patrick Stewart.
  5. 7Universe Challenge14 Feb 1998 · 30mThe cast of Red Dwarf compete with the fans in a quiz about the show, based on the format of "University Challenge".

  7. 10Children in Need sketch13 Nov 1998 · 4mThe crew of Blue Midget pick up a transmission from 1998's Children in Need, with Terry Wogan encouraging people to make donations. After some talk over what to do, Rimmer decides he will help humanity by breaking Lister's guitar!
  8. 11The Beginning12 Nov 2007 · 1h 10mDocumentary looking back at Series I of Red Dwarf.
  9. 12It's Cold Outside12 Nov 2007 · 1h 10mDocumentary looking back at Series II of Red Dwarf.
  10. 13All Change3 Nov 2003Documentary looking back at Series III of Red Dwarf.
  11. 14Back from the Dead7 Nov 2005 · 1h 29mA documentary about the seventh series. The contributors are refreshingly frank and fair about the various problems the production faced. They treat subjects like Rob's departure, Chris's departure, the introduction of Kochanski, the various visual effects crises, the guest writers and the lack of audience with honesty and clarity, and all sides of the story are represented.
  12. 15Identity Within7 Nov 2005 · 30mThe "lost" episode of "Red Dwarf" (1988), presented in storyboard form. The Cat is dying, and is forced to have sex in order to stay alive. This script was originally written as an episode of the seventh series of "Red Dwarf" (1988), but was dropped because the budget wouldn't stretch to the story; it was later replaced with the significantly less expensive "Red Dwarf: Duct Soup" (1997). For the DVD release of the seventh series, it was included as an extra feature in order to show what might have been. The first draft of the script, considered the best, was performed by Chris Barrie (Rimmer), then edited by Jem Whippey and set to a series of images drawn by Neil Maguire, in order to get as close to the original concept as possible.
  13. 16Bodysnatcher12 Nov 2007 · 30mBodysnatcher was a partly finished script that was written but unused for the first series of the BBC sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf. To headline the release of Red Dwarf Remastered on DVD in Autumn 2007, the same audio story board process used in recreating the lost episode of Series VII, Identity Within, has been used to create the Bodysnatcher episode. When the script was retrieved from the vaults of Grant Naylor offices, it was found to be without an ending. The writers Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, who went their separate ways during pre-production on the ITV series The 10%ers in 1996, collaborated on bringing the script into line with the series' continuity and giving it an end.
  14. 17The Making of Back to Earth12 Apr 2009 · 24mAn exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of new three-part series Back to Earth, which reunited the cult sci-fi comedy's original cast.
  15. 18Back to Earth: The Director's Cut12 Apr 2009 · 1h 10mThe Director's Cut of Back to Earth is not an extended version with new scenes, but rather a re-edited, condensed feature that improves pacing by removing filler and structural elements designed for television. It adds no new scenes or dialogue but rather removes what is considered inconsequential material to create a tighter narrative. A key cut is Rimmer's line complaining that the story is a "three-parter," despite other references to such remaining in. The only addition is at the very end: after the extended credits, the words "The End" are typed on a typewriter, reinforcing the meta-fictional theme.

  33. 38Dad: Episode Reconstruction12 Nov 2007 · 8m"Dad" was intended to bridge the last episode of Series II and the first episode of Series III, expanding on the events happening in-between that were only otherwise briefly mentioned in the show, and detailed in a very fast, Star Wars-like opening scrawl at the beginning of the first episode of Series III.

  87. 126Tikka to Ride: Xtended3 Nov 1997 · 37mReinstated deleted scenes and newly filmed material, including enhanced visual effects, and the omission of the audience laugh track for a more continuous, cinematic flow, it is 8 minutes and 32 seconds longer, with the most notable addition being an alternate ending. Set three weeks after the crew's return, Lister uses the Time Drive to retrieve curry supplies, so Rimmer, resenting Lister's gluttony, rigs the ship to detach its rear section, stranding Lister adrift with his hoard of curries.
  88. 127Ouroboros: Xtended3 Nov 1997 · 30mAlthough applying film effect consistently, the reinstated opening titles sequence (omitted from the regular broadcast due to time constraints) is in an untreated, video-look format. The alternate dimensions interactions contain additional dialogue and character moments, deepening the contrast between the two crews, and a longer scene when requesting a sperm donation. The flashback of Lister and Kochanski includes more nuanced exchanges, such as Kochanski’s line “I’m serious” with a different take.
  89. 128Duct Soup: Xtended3 Nov 1997 · 33mIncludes significant additional material not seen in original broadcast, primarily due to time constraints. Laugh track removed. Reinstated opening titles, though they retain distinct video look rather than film-like treatment used in other episodes. Major addition in the ducts, where Lister recounts a childhood memory of a classmate named Squeaky Gibson whose bed squeaked uncontrollably, leading to a chaotic shoe-throwing incident that accidentally saved him from an epileptic fit. Also additional backstory of Kochanski's upbringing in cyber-school.
  90. 129Back in the Red: Xtended27 Mar 2006 · 1h 22mThe combining of all three broadcast parts into a single, feature-length episode. Features minor technical differences in the opening sequence. Includes additional scenes cut from the original airing due to time constraints, such as Holly's humorous monologue about squashing deaths during Starbug’s vent traversal, and additional banter after Starbug crashes, including Kryten’s sandwich joke and Lister’s inappropriate "kiss of life" remark to Kochanski. Omitted from the feature-length episode are the two video reports by Captain Hollister, which include his confession about being Dennis the doughnut boy!
  91. 130Pete: Feature-Length27 Mar 2006 · 52mA single, feature-length episode includes no additional scenes but features reordered scenes for better flow and removal of title cards between parts.

  99. 138Better Than Life: Remastered2 Mar 1998 · 29mRimmer learns that his father has passed away but isn't sure which is sadder: his father's death or that he is now encumbered with an £8,500 tax bill.
  100. 139Thanks for the Memory: Remastered2 Mar 1998 · 28mWhen Lister awakens after a night of revelry, he's at a loss to explain how he and Cat broke their legs.

  114. 153Building a Better Universe: A Tribute to Mel Bibby3 Nov 2003 · 30mA tribute to the late Mel Bibby and his contributions to Red Dwarf as production designer. This is a touching and well-deserved tribute to the man who managed to completely revolutionise the look of the show, despite not having a great deal more money than his predecessor. After six or seven minutes of lovely tributes from interviewees, we get a real gem. According to the caption, it's the only known footage of Mel talking about his work on the series. It's hard to tell where it came from, or when it was recorded, but he talks about the moody, industrial sets contrasting with the cleaner, more conventional sci-fi sets.
  115. 154Hattie's DJ Diary3 Nov 2003 · 30mHattie Hayridge records her experiences at the tenth annual Red Dwarf convention, Dimension Jump.

  116. 155Comedy Connections30 Aug 2004 · 30mComedy Connections focusing on Red Dwarf
  117. 158Shaggy Dog Story - Cricket25 Dec 1999 · 3mA short story for Children in Need 1999, and first aired on Christmas Day, Shaggy Dog Story featured various comedians and comic actors (some in character, others as themselves) telling a long-winded shaggy dog story or yarn, beginning with Ronnie Corbett in his infamous chair. Blink and you'll miss Lister and Rimmer from The Tank!
  118. 159Shaggy Dog Story - Cricket (Extended)3mA short story for Children in Need 1999, this slightly extended version was never aired. Shaggy Dog Story featured various comedians and comic actors (some in character, others as themselves) telling a long-winded shaggy dog story or yarn, beginning with Ronnie Corbett in his infamous chair. Blink and you'll miss Lister and Rimmer from The Tank!
  119. 160Unaired US Pilot 126mThis was a failed attempt in 1992 to make an "Americanised" version of the hit British sci-fi comedy. Two pilots were filmed after the producers replaced the actors playing Rimmer and Cat, but the series was never picked up, even with the involvement of the original creators, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. The story was an amalgam of several episodes but pretty much followed the original British pilot episode The End, except that Kryten is aboard the Red Dwarf from the start and the Cat is now a woman. The official Red Dwarf site (www.reddwarf.co.uk) has a complete article about the fate of Red Dwarf USA in their 'DownTime' section; and a documentary on the entire American experience is included on the Series V DVD.
  120. 161Unaired US Pilot 215mThe second and shorter attempt at a US pilot of Red Dwarf comes across as more of a promotional video than a pilot episode due to it's clips from the British version of the show. Features Terry Farrell as the Cat and script concepts from Backwards, Terrorform and Parallel Universe.
