Other Red and Dwarfish Things

The Red Dwarf TV series is more than 50 episodes spread over 8 different series from the years 1988 through 1999, with more—including a probable Red Dwarf movie in 2000—to come.

Here are the US covers from their books; I am in the process of scanning the tape covers from all 8 seasons.

The first three series have been "Re-Mastered" by their producers, adding back some of the scenes that were shot but had to be cut because of time considerations. They have also gone back and recreated the special effects to be more like those in the lastest series (computer generated rather than using models).

I won't show you all of the faces, but if you put the spines together, this is the picture you get (so far):

If you have a PAL-capable VCR—and if you don't know what I mdean by that then you don't have one... trust me... you don't—I suggest that you visit either amazon.com (UK) or The Internet Music and Video Shop to order these tapes. Both allow on-line ordering with a credit card. Both get you the books in as fast as three days, but generally in a week or so. Their prices are listed in British £ (pounds Sterling) but you can compute the US costs by using this simple £ to $ calculator.

Now on DVD!

All covers are and remain the copyright of the artist or artists who originally gave them life. Unless, that is, some publisher paid them a few pounds more to buy the rights away. I have not obtained permission to replicate them, but hope that these fine individuals and international conglomerates recognize that I am just trying to help promote interest (and sales) in their books
