Did You Know?
Justice saw Red Dwarf take its first trip to shoot at Sunbury Pump House, a location that would double for many different locales throughout the show's run, all the way up to Series XII!
Another continuity tweak is made, increasing the number of crew originally aboard Red Dwarf from 169 to 1,169.
Nicholas Ball has the honour of playing Red Dwarf's first ever Simulant. The deranged killer droids, and variants thereof, would become a constant threat to the Dwarfers throughout the series that followed.
