Oz TV Reminder

UKTV in Australia is preparing for a full run-though of Red Dwarf.

1 March, 2002

Following the success of the New Year Red Dwarf marathon, Australian satellite channel UKTV is putting in the red alert bulb for its weekly broadcast of all 52 episodes. From Wednesday, March 6th at 10.30pm you can follow the full sequence of events that led a Liverpool loser to become the last human alive... and then smeg that up as well.

For those who miss the Wednesday night broadcast - or who love the show so much that once just won't be enough - a repeat is scheduled on Saturdays, also at 10.30pm. Those nice UKTV people spoil you, they really do.

The New Year marathon also gave UKTV much cause to celebrate long after the hangovers had come and gone. The channel's ratings were six times higher than the previous average for the timeslot, reaching more than 405,000 people - proving once again the huge popularity of the show downunder.
