Red Dwarf on DVD is definitely on my wish list. I remember many a nights staying up late to watch it on PBS but I haven’t seen it in a long time. The last time I saw it was several years ago watching a marathon with friends. We had triple fried egg chili chutney sandwiches. I couldn’t eat mine fast enough before the bread dissolved. By the way triple fried egg chili chutney sandwiches, alcohol (preferably lager of course) and laughing for a few hours straight can do unpleasant things to your insides. ☹ ---

Yeah, too much laughing can be hard on the innards. Maybe it would be better if you took your _Red Dward_ watching in smaller bites. ---

I love Red Dwarf! It’s one of my all time favorite programmes. It’s also the reason why I can’t pass a jewellry shop without saying “Ohhhhhh. Shiny things!” ---

I don’t know if it was Craig Charles or not but somebody with Lister’s exact hairstyle was part of the _Tool Time_ studio audience on “Home Improvement” once.
